Where are attachments being saved?

[Eric Weir]

Giving Bookends a trial. I have one bibliographic record with one pdf attached to it. There is an attachments folder -- ~/documents/bookends/attachments -- but it's empty.

Anyone have an idea where Bookends is putting attachments?

Thanks,

When you attach a pdf you have the option of copying it to the default folder, moving it to the default folder, or leaving it where it is. I'm guessing you did the last.

If "Use WebKit to display pdfs" is unchecked, a right-click on the attachment will let you reveal it in the Finder, so you can see where it is. Why not do that?

Thanks, Jon. Actually, I don't know what I did. Your suggestion sounds like a good one.

I spoke too soon, Jon. Where do I check/uncheck "Use WebKit to display pdfs"? I couldn't find it in either preferences or the menu, though I assume it's in one or the other.

Click on the Action popup menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the List View window -- it's the last option.

Thanks, Jon. When I do that, though, I see it's already unchecked. However, when I right-click on the entry and select Reveal in Finder it's not revealed.

You should be taken to the folder in the Finder where the attachment is. Please follow this up with tech support off-forum.
