I have some corrupted pdfs, so on the attachment sidebar, I click on the right mouse button and click detach and then drag and drop a new file.
What happened to the detached file? Is it erased?

Re: detach attachments
No, it's not touched. Bookends just removes it's name from the database record of the reference.

Is there a easy way to find these orphaned attachments? Since I detached them, they should still be in the attachments folder. Right?
Re: detach attachments
Yes, they should be. But you can't find them via Bookends. Bookends no longer knows about them.

Re: detach attachments
So how do I know which ones are the detached ones? Is there a way to generate a list of all attached files?
Re: detach attachments
You click on the Attachments group, mark all the references in it, and use a format that just outputs attachments to make a "bibliography". It will contain the names of all attachments.
But except for neatness, it really doesn't matter if there are PDFs in the default folder that aren't attached to a reference any longer. Bookends ignores them.

Re: detach attachments
Thanks - I am trying to delete unnecessary files.
