A) Notes:

page 350 of the user guide needs to be updated:

The field varCharField is no more functional.

1) Locate('Anonymous', varCharField) > 0 is no more working to find attachments with the file name ‘Anonymous’.

Replacement: attachments REGEX ‘Anonymous’ :

2) varCharField REGEX '[^0-9\t]' failed to filter references with attachments.

Replacement: attachments REGEX '[^0-9\t]' works fine.

3) NOT varCharField REGEX '[^0-9\t]' failed
Replacement: attachments IS NULL


B) issues:

1) varCharField > 1 used to collect references containing more than 1 attachments. Now, it is failing. A replacement like attachments > 1 also doesn’t work. is there any other means to collect references with orphaned (multiple) attachments?

2) Copying and Pasting Smart groups is crashing BE now.

Selecting, dragging and dropping any reference between two libraries crashes Bookends, at least in my wife's mac and in mine.
The normal way of exporting and importing works fine.

1. The User Guide has been updated, and has more examples.

2. The correct search to find references with attachments is

attachments <> ''

3. A better SQL search for a particular PDF is this (it can be made even more foolproof by adding beginning/end of line instructions, but that is usually overkill):

attachments REGEX '(?mi)my attachment name'

4. To find a reference with more than one attachment

attachments REGEX '\n'

5. Copy/paste smart folder crash has been fixed.

6. @Mencu -- Drag and drop transfer of refs crash has been fixed.

Please download 12.8.1 again.
