Moving attachments on import not working as expected
Posted: Wed Apr 19, 2023 3:02 pm
Hello,
I've been adding some new references to my library yesterday and today by dragging and dropping PDFs on to the list of references in the Bookends Library Window.
During the process, I've selected to move the attachment to the attachment folder, and I select a subfolder from the drop down. The subfolder is within the library's default attachment subfolder, which is itself within the correct Bookends iCloud folder.
However, for every PDF I've imported in this way, the PDF is moved to the root of the Bookends iCloud folder after import. This has happened both when adding a PDF to a new reference as well as attaching a PDF to an existing reference.
Any ideas?
Other information:
1. I've also selected to rename the file on import.
2. This library is set up to sync via iCloud, which works as expected.
3. The library's default attachment subfolder is set to a folder in the root of the Bookends iCloud folder.
Also, after I noticed that if I select a subfolder from the drop during import, if I later check the the location of the library's default attachment subfolder via File -> Set Default Attachment Subfolder, it seems to have changed from what I had set to the most recent location selected in the import dialog. This seems unexpected to me, as the implication of the UI to me seems to be to choose a location for the attachment file being imported. Am I misinterpreting this?
Thanks for your help!
