See all Versions

• Restored direct downloading of PDFs from publishers that use ScienceDirect. This requires access privileges.
• Drag files from the marooned attachment list. Dragging the selected files is like dragging the files in the Finder. You can move them to another folder, drag them into an “Open File” dialog, drop them on a Bookends library window to attach them, etc. If the files are moved the list will automatically update.
• Right-click to refresh the list of files in the marooned attachment list. This may be useful if, for example, you’ve opened another library that has attachments and want to regenerate the list without having to close and reopen it.
• Attaching multiple files to the selected reference has been streamlined. When you drop more than one file on the library window, one of the options in the resulting dialog is "Attach To Selected Ref". If you select this option a second dialog will offer to rename the files and/or move or copy them to the default attachment folder. These options will be applied to all the files in the drag without further user intervention. In previous versions this dialog would appear for every file in the drag.
• Create a notecard with a title from a PDF's table of contents. When the PDF's table of contents is showing, right-click on an entry to add it to the note stream as the title of a new notecard. If the note stream is showing the notecard will be opened for editing, so you can add content if you want.
• When formatting as BibTeX Markup, institutional names (i.e. those terminated with a comma) will be surrounded by curly brackets.
• Bookends will identify damaged PDF attachments and offer to show them to you in the Finder. Previously, trying to display a damaged PDF would result in a cryptic error message which could be mistaken for a crash.
• When searching a PDF, pressing Shift-Command-G will find the previous match. As before, Command-G fill finds the next match.
• medRxiv was added to the Bookends Browser bookmarks. This will be seen in new installations of Bookends.
• The last run date for a saved search won't be updated if an error occurs
• Group names in the manual remove duplicates window are read-only, and an explanatory dialog will appear if you try to do edit them
• Preferences changes to library window fonts/sizes are updated immediately
• You can show URLs created with OpenURL in the library window browser (default), Bookends Browser, or your preferred macOS standalone browser
• These options are available in the Metadata tab in preferences.
• The Action pop-up menu below the reference list has been removed. These functions and more are provided by a right-click hierarchical menu.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug in exporting references to a tab-delimited file.
• Fixed a bug where a space was used instead of an underline in front of the disambiguating number when renaming attachments.
• Pressing the cancel button when attaching multiple files at once cancels the entire process, not just the attachment of that one file.
• Fixed a bug that prevented the progress window from showing when exporting selected references with a format.
• Fixed a bug that caused Bookends to add a non-PDF attachment to the selected reference even if you indicated it should be added to a new reference.
• Fixed a bug where selecting “Open” from the hierarchical menu would not open graphic attachments such as jpgs.
• Fixed a problem that could cause an error in some situations if the color picker wasn't manually closed.
• Fixed a bug in manual verification of remove duplicates where a modified attachments field wasn't updated in the database.
• Fixed a cosmetic problem when switching from a boolean search to Bookends Browser in the Online Search window.
