Default bibliography formats disappeared
Posted: Fri May 21, 2021 5:46 pm
When I opened Formats Manager to select a different format, I was surprised to find only a few of the many default formats in that now very short list with my few custom formats. All of the formats appeared to be present in the ~/Library/Application Support/Bookends/Formats/ folder.
After quitting Bookends, I tried renaming the Formats folder and renaming it back to Formats. Restarting Bookends, the formats were not found. I renamed the missing formats older to "invisible Formats" and copied "Formats" from my backup into the Bookends Folder. Restarting Bookends again, the formats were rediscovered. Moved "invisible Formats" to the Trash. All the expected default formats were still there in Formats Manager.
Just posting this experience in case anybody else encounters this enigma.
