Just a word of encouragement and thanks. I find that the new "reference surfing" in 10.2.1 is a nice addition to the program -- especially since JSTOR searching now works. This is a very positive addition to my workflow.
Now if only I could turn a four-click process into a one-click process, I'd be even happier. As it stands now, I'm a satisfied customer. Thanks Jon; good work.

Thanks.
What 4 clicks are you referring to? In anticipation, though, remember that by using the browser interface to find web pages/pdfs you have complete flexibility. Assumptions about what you want to see/import limit that.

Re: 10.2.1: Reference surfing is very nice
Without meaning to answer for terceiro, he is right in that there are at least 4 steps to getting the pdf and reference from JSTOR.
1) Search (say in Title, on an obscure word bringing up only 3 hits). This brings you to a screen with the SRU record. From here you can import the reference, but not the the pdf.
2) Toggle Text/Web View (can still attach the SRU record, and now the (useless) webpage archive, but not the pdf).
3) Click on the pdf button (not the pdf itself). One is then redirected to "JSTOR's Terms and Conditions"--still cannot import pdf.
4) Click "Proceed to PDF"
5) Can now, finally, import both the reference and attach the pdf in a single click.
6) Click. Import. Celebrate.
I agree with terceiro that this is really great. I also agree, however, that it would be nice to be able to attach the pdf at step 1.
Best,
Shayne

Jon,
The new one-click download is excellent. Thanks very much.
One possible suggestion: allow a preference to remember "import into Hits list" & "Downlaod PDF" settings.
Cheers,
Shayne

Hi,
There is no preference setting, but Bookends does remember what you last used during each session. I'll see about making it remember the settings between launches.

Re: 10.2.1: Reference surfing is very nice
I guess I'm missing something here. I can navigate to JSTOR in the browser, log-in to my account, but I get no options for importing...not to mention attaching the PDF. The PDF just opens in the browser pane and there are no import options, they are grayed out at the bottom.

Re: 10.2.1: Reference surfing is very nice
Direct import of reference and pdf works if you use the JSTOR direct search filter. Then you can import the reference and the pdfs with one click.
If you use the browser, a completely different way to get to JSTOR, you can download and attach the pdf (or web page) by dragging and dropping the proxy icon. Or you can right-click on the proxy icon and Bookends will offer to attach the pdf/web page to the selected reference, to a new empty reference, or a new Internet Type reference.
So you have two ways to get to JSTOR information. The first is preferable, because Bookends "knows" it's finding a references and knows how to import the information. The second is fine if you have the reference but want to find and import the pdf/web page.
