small request about www imports

Just a minor request that will help a bunch.

When importing a citation from LOC via the webs search window, if a user has it checked to import to the hits list, every time a new item is dragged in it clears out the previous list. This is highly annoying. Can it just be added to the existing hits if there is any?
Thanks

Hi,

Bookends can do that now. This if from the User Guide:

If the Import to Hits List is checked, Bookends will normally replace the references in the Hits List with the ones you imported. If you want to accumulate imports in the Hits List, hold down the Option key (if you are importing by drag and drop, you will have to initiate the drag first, then press Shift).

ahh, I see. can the default be to leave them there?

I personally have no objection to switching the defaults. Anyone else care to chime in? Does anyone else have a preference here (the default now is to replace the hits list, the default requested is to add to the existing hits list [with the Option key switching to the other behavior in each case])?

Switching would be ok for me.

OK, so unless anyone has any objections, I'll chance the behavior in the next update (import to hits list will add to the existing hits unless the Option key is held down).
