Feature request: Import refs from multiple files

Post by Jasso »

Simple request: Would be nice to have Bookends import references from multiple files. Just like it can import several refs from one single file.

If I choose Import References and choose multiple files (all using the same RIS formatting) it only imports one of them.

This is sometimes annoying if I've spent a lot of time digging up sources from the web and in the end I have a bunch of pdf's and several dozen separate reference files.

---EDIT----
Disregard this! Sorry.

I just realised that if I drag and drop all the files onto Bookends, it processes them all one by one. :oops: :)

(But how about making the Import References feature to accept multiple files to make that more useful?)

That's possible, but I didn't because the files might be from different sources, so this way you can change the import filter between files if necessary. If they are from the same source, you just need to tap the Return key once to initiate the second (third, fourth, etc.) import.
