Label synchronisation between applications
Posted: Mon Mar 13, 2023 2:48 pm
I suspect this is significantly not as straightforward as it would at first seem, but I wondered if anyone had approached the challenge of synchronising labels (and better still, ratings) between Bookends and other applications, such as the Finder (or DEVONthink)?
I'd love to be able to glance in DEVONthink's index of my Bookends PDF library and see the labels and ratings I'd assigned them, as I find DEVON a much more comprehensive search system. I could partly achieve this using Hookmarks to connect records in Bookends with PDFs in DEVON, but this would shift my attention (and selection) in Bookends. I appreciate this is compounded by there not being a direct mapping between colour labels (and involving the Finder as middleware, with a different set of label mapping!) but could there be a mechanism inside Bookends to manage the mapping of such? (and have there been any prior attempts with Applescript or some other glue to handle this?)
