Import from Sente

[ml502]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can import my complete bibliography (library) from Sente to Bookends?
I have exported from Sente in all possible formats, however none of them includes my attachments, groups, status-colours.
I would be grateful if anyone could at least give me some hints on
(1.) how to import all references with attachments (pdfs and others) and complete notes
(2.) how to import my static groups.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi,

Bookends imports EndNote XML (from EndNote) and preserves the links to the attachments. You might try that with the Sente export in EndNote XML format. As for groups -- you can't preserve those across reference apps. In Bookends, at least, that information resides in database tables, not with the references.

Some of my Sente-notes consist of screenshots from google books (and other online sources from which copy-paste ist not possible) with notes (including headline, screenshot, page number, my own comment)
Has anyone an idea on how to organise the commented screenshots in bookends?

Thanks
M.

If these graphical notes are screen shots (i.e. image files), you can attach them to the corresponding references -- I'd use drag and drop. This won't be automatic, you'll have to attach them.

Maybe you could use Sente to assign a keyword like group-blabla to all entries of a single group? If you then import this into Bookends, you can use the keyword to easily re-create the group.
