4 new Applescripts for footnotes, bibliographies, searches

Post by edward »

Bookends offers some really great support for Applescript. I've been working with the Applescript library provided by Jon (aka Bookends support) for about a year now, tweaking scripts and adding capabilities. I've ended up with four scripts with which I'm really pleased.

Script 1 creates a footnote or bibliographic entry.

Script 2 is for consulting the notes of a Bookends reference.

Script 3 creates bibliographies and several other kinds of lists.

Script 4 finds hits and shows them in Bookends itself.

They're fast and they're simple to use. You don't need to know a thing about AppleScript to use these scripts.

I've posted them for downloading on my website, along with screenshots and descriptions.

http://scriptsforbookends.com/

The download contains the scripts in 3 formats (scripts, scripts in Automator workflows, an Alfred workflow) to make it really easy to set up keyboard shortcuts. There are directions on the site for how to do that.

The download is $4 and there's a free and fully functional demo.

I hope other Bookends users find them useful.

I'll be taking my applescript site down on 10/20/2013. Perhaps it will return at some later date. Who knows.

If you'd like to get the scripts or try the demo, head to http://www.scriptsforbookends.com before Monday.

Any chance you can make these accessible again? I'd appreciate it, thanks.

bobspunt, I don't have the time to get the website up but if you use Paypal I can email the scripts to the email address you use with Paypal. There are two caveats. (1) I haven't tested the scripts with Mavericks. (2) I believe the scripts are straightforward. Obviously, though, the directions for the scripts on the website are not accessible. I'm happy to go back and forth on email if something in the scripts is puzzling you.

The screenshot above shows how to make the exchange using Paypal.
