Bookends

• Color labels for groups and folders. Groups and folders can be assigned a color defined in Preferences (Lists tab). Select a group color from a to right-click contextual menu, the action pop-up menu beneath the group's pane, or the keyboard shortcut Control-Command-# (the number of the color is defined in the preferences Lists tab). You can only assign colors to groups and folders you create; the color of default groups (All, Hits, Attachments, and Recently Viewed) can't be modified .
• Ignore citation delimiter metacharacter. When the open citation delimiter, typically a curly bracket, is immediately followed by a tilde (~), Bookends will ignore it during a scan. This is useful if you need to use the citation delimiter in another context, such as a mathematical formula, and don't want Bookends to mistakenly think it is the beginning of a temporary citation. When ready to submit the manuscript, do a search/replace in your word processor and replace the open delimiter plus ~ with the open delimiter (for example, replace {~ with { ).
• Perform a live search for a unique ID by preceding it with the # character (e.g. #43237). You can already select Unique ID as a field to search in using the live search field pop-up menu; this is another way to do so that is arguably more convenient.
• The library name output by the formatter will no longer include the file extension, .bdb
• A colon will be used in place of an underscore before the unique ID when generating a citekey as Author + Year + UniqueID
• If a file in the destination folder has the same name as an exported attachment, Bookends will move it to the Trash and then proceed with the export
• Small UI tweaks. Updated Help menu wording. The right-click contextual menu for references in static group reads "Remove From Group" instead of "Delete". Improved display of edit pane when no reference is selected.
• The note steam will scroll to a newly-imported notecard
• Added a warning that importing from Papers 3 can't be done when running a macOS version later than Big Sur 11.2
• Bookends will import issue numbers exported from Mendeley as EndNote XML.
• Right-clicking on empty space in the groups pane will bring up the contextual menu
• Previously you had to right-click on a group.

Bug fixes:

• Dumb quote marks won't be escaped when BibTeX Markup is used for formatting references. Fixed a bug where a right click on empty space in the reference list caused an error warning. Unicode characters in the WiFi sync list are now rendered correctly. Fixed a bug where the BibTeX "don't change case" status wasn't correctly shown when preferences was opened. Fixed several bugs in generating citekeys. Fixed a bug that prevented smart SQL groups with predefined content from being created. Fixed a bug in the format window where changing the Type in one tab didn't update the field names pop-up menu in the other. Fixed problems with the display of scrollbars in the library window right pane. Fixed a bug on library open where the various panes weren't updated to reflect the first selected reference's content. You can once again change the color of text in the edit pane. Fixed a problem where searching for some DOIs failed to find the reference or generated an error. Fixed a bug where the wrong reference was shown in the edit pane. Fixed a bug where the Notes tab could contain light gray hint text. The PDF tag enter field expands if necessary to accommodate pasted text. Fixed a bug where the reference list would become invisible when invoking full screen while the library was in the widescreen view. Fixed a bug where searches for PDF tags could incorrectly match a PDF with a similar name. Fixed a bug where the issue number wasn't imported if it was identical to the volume number. Fixed a reference duplication bug where the new reference was selected but edits were recorded in the original.
