Bug fixes
Fixed
a bug where clicking on a field in the Concise View would
fail to allow editing of the text. You can drag and drop a
term from the Term List window into its corresponding field
in a reference.

Import references and pdfs from PubMed On Tap (an
iPhone/iPod Touch app)
PubMed
On Tap is a product of
References On Tap,
which can be purchased from the iTunes App Store. PubMed
On Tap lets you search PubMed and store reference
information and downloaded pdfs on the device. If the
iPhone/Touch is on the same local network as Bookends,
you can view the references in the PubMed On Tap library
and transfer them, with pdfs if present, to your
Bookends database. Bookends will display the references
you already have in your database in yellow, or filter
the references so that you see only those you don't
already have. Here is a
link
to PubMed On Tap in the iTunes App Store.
•
Copy Attachment Path
You
can copy an attachment’s full pathname to the clipboard by
right-clicking on it in the List View window and selecting
"Copy Attachment Path" (this will not work if you use
WebKit to display pdfs). You can also use the Action gear
in the Attachment Inspector.
•
Downloading pdfs from online sources works with more
journals
•
Search the Notes tab in the reference window with "Find In
This Note" and Find In This Note Again"
•
Improved formatting of date-only citations
If
a date-only citation is included in a citation group and
scanned with custom citation format, Bookends will use a
comma to separate the reference from a preceding reference,
regardless of what character is normally used to separate
references. This means that if you create a citation like
{Smith, 2005 #12324; %Smith, 2009 #3434; Jones, 2006
#23243}, Bookends might output (Smith 2005, 2009; Jones,
2006).
•
Improved BibteX scanning
If
you have BibTeX enabled and Copy Citation is set to copy
the Key field, when scanning Bookends will only check to
see if a temporary citation is present in the Key field.
This will prevent Bookends from misidentifying temporary
citations as ambiguous when the citation's text is present
in other fields in other references.
•
Improved notecards
Rendering
and saving a notestream is orders of magnitude faster,
meaning that it is now feasible to have hundreds of
notecards in a stream.
•
Citations created during a scan of a Word document will not
change subsequent text to the style of the style sheet
•
Improved import of XML files exported from Papers
•
The default Type of an imported reference can be set in the
import filter (Misc tab)
This
was previously possible only for references output as MARC
records, and the default import Type for others was the
same as the default Type for a new reference. Now the
default Type for a new reference and for an imported
reference can be different.
•
Improved Change Case -> Title Case
If
there is a period, colon, question mark, or exclamation
point followed by a space, the character after the space
will be output in uppercase even if the word is in the "do
not change" list. Thus, a title might look like "Ben Hur:
The Sequel".
•
Bookends Tutorial.pdf and the video tutorials available on
the Sonny Software web site are accessible from the Help
menu
Bookends
Tutorial.pdf must be in the same folder as Bookends.
•
The preferred location for Bookends User Guide.pdf is now
in the Bookends 10 Folder
This is where Help -> User Guide will look for it. If
not found, Bookends will look in the alternative location,
~/Documents/Bookends/ folder (for backward compatibility).
•
Added Cut/Copy/Paste to the right-click (contextual) menu
for text fields
•
Bug fixes
Find
In This Reference works when the reference window is in
front. Japanese and other Unicode characters in a Google
Scholar search result are now rendered properly. Corrected
formatting problems when names with suffixes (e.g. Jr.) are
being output in small caps, or when first names/initials
are surrounded with parentheses or square brackets. Fixed a
bug where a scanned document could be truncated after a
citation if the final citation was numbered and in styled
text. Fixed a bug in the Attachment Inspector where
renaming an attachment would always apply to the first
attachment even if another was selected. Authors/editors
names imported from MARC records will retain a period after
the last initial, if present in the record. Fixed a bug
where accented characters in some Google Scholar imports
could be scrambled. Fixed several issues dealing with
fonts. Fixed a bug that would cause final citations in a
scanned Word document to not adhere to the local style
sheet settings. Various fixes for scanning citations in
Pages footnotes. Fixed a bug in the Online Search data
detector display where line spacing was too narrow, making
it difficult to read the reference titles. If requested in
the Online Search window, Bookends will attempt to download
the pdf for an imported reference even if the reference
isn't shown in the List View (e.g. if there is text in the
Live Search textbox and the imported reference didn't meet
that criterion). When a reference is being formatted with
the Book Chapter[Book] metaType, the format setting for
"Replace repeated authors with" will apply only to the Book
Chapter, not the Book. Fixed a formatting bug with author
names when only editors were to be output with "et al.".
NEW in Version 10.6.1
•
Nisus Writer Pro integration
Bookends
now communicates directly with Nisus Writer Pro (NWP) 1.4
for citation insertion, scanning, and rescanning (or
unscanning). NWP 1.4 has an Edit -> Insert ->
Bibliography menu, and the options therein initiate
interactions with Bookends: 1) Switch To Bookends, 2) Find
Reference (in Bookends), 3) Insert Citation (from
Bookends), 4) Insert Bibliography Placeholder, 5) Scan
Document (with Bookends), 6) Unscan Document (with
Bookends). If you choose to retain hidden citations when
you perform the scan, you can rescan the document (or
unscan it) at any time. The macros that were previously
provided for interaction with Nisus Writer Pro and Express
are no longer supported.
•
Improved importing of reference metadata from Bookends
Browser
If
you drag and drop the pdf proxy icon onto a Bookends
database window, you'll have the option to import the pdf
(or web page) to a new empty reference and automatically
initiate the Autocomplete Paper process. You can also
right-click on the pdf proxy icon and select "Attach To New
Empty Reference And Autocomplete Paper". Use these methods
to download pdfs or webarchives and allow Bookends to try
to find and import the reference's metadata from the
Internet.
•
Press Escape to clear the text in any Search field
•
The Action menu or a right-click lets you deselect all
unpinned terms in a Term List window
•
Use Shift-Option, not just Option, to highlight in yellow
the groups to which the selected reference belongs
This
was previously accomplished by pressing the Option key
alone.
•
Automatic downloading of the User Guide
The
User Guide is included in the manual Bookends download.
When Bookends is run, it will move the file "Bookends User
Guide.pdf" to ~/Documents/Bookends, where it will be found
if you use the Help menu.
•
Improved MLA formatting
If
consecutive citations are from the same work, only the
cited pages will be used in the second case.
•
Updated autocomplete paper using Google Scholar
Accented
characters are displayed and imported
correctly,

NEW in Version 10.6
•
New update notification mechanism in Snow Leopard
Sparkle
automatic updating is disabled when running in Snow Leopard
because of incompatibilities. Bookends will still provide
automatic checking for updates and the Check For Updates
menu will function. If a newer version of Bookends is
found, a dialog will offer to take you to the download page
on our web site, where you can download the new version and
install it manually (which means simply replacing your old
Bookends 10 Folder with the new one).
•
Resize the list of terms and display of matching references
in a Term List
•
Term List filters
Filter
which terms you see in real-time by typing in characters in
the term list filter. Bookends performs character matching,
so that the characters "cog" will match the keywords
"cognitive science" and "neurocognition".
•
"Pin" terms in a Term List
If you click on the pin image next to a term, it is
temporarily "pinned" and treated like a selection (until
unpinned, or the term list is dismissed). You can
accumulate terms in this fashion to perform boolean AND/OR
searches. When multiple terms are selected or pinned, the
actual search Bookend is performing is shown. You can pin
or unpin all terms with an option in the Action menu or by
right-clicking on the term list.
•
The AND/OR setting for finding multiple selections in Term
Lists is remembered between launches
•
When multiple terms are selected (or pinned), Bookends will
display the boolean search being performed
•
Create a hypertext link from more than one notecard
Select
the notecards you want then use Edit -> Copy Notecard As
Hypertext Link, or drag and drop them with Option-Command
held down.
•
Add text to a new reference directly from a pdf when using
Autocomplete Paper
If
you cannot find the reference online when you choose
Autocomplete Paper, you can fill in the reference fields
using the Action pop-up menu. Select the text and use the
pop-up menu to tell Bookends which field it should be
placed in. The selected text will replace any text that
might already be in that field. If the text is sent to the
Authors, Ser. Editors, or Translator field, Bookends will
assume it contains names and will rearrange it accordingly.
It will assume that words separated by commas represent
names, and that the names are surname-last. Bookends will
also remove punctuation not normally association with
names, as well as numbers and common superscript symbols.
Click the Close button when finished.
•
Copy Citation And Modifiers menu
When
you invoke Edit -> Copy Citation And Modifiers
(Control-Command-Y) or click on the Copy Citation button
with the Control key held down, Bookends will prompt you
for the page or page range you want to cite, and other
possible modifications to the temporary citation. If there
is any selected text in the frontmost window, Bookends will
use that as the default value for Cited Pages. If you click
OK or press Return, Bookends will switch to your linked
word processor and insert the temporary citation with the
cited pages at the end, e.g. {Carpenter, 2008,
#12343@12-14}. You can also tell Bookends what text (if
any) you want to precede the citation or if you want the
citation treated in a special manner after the scan (such
as show date only, excluded the cited reference from the
bibliography, etc.). If more than one reference is
selected, cited pages will be applied to the first citation
in the group.
•
Italicize 'et al.' in citations created with an Author-Date
scan
Enabled
in the format definition window, Citations tab.
•
Generate Subject Bibliographies based on smart groups
When
you select Group while creating a subject bibliography,
both static and smart groups will be shown. Both types of
group can be used in the same subject bibliography.
•
Formatting examples update automatically when a reference
is edited and then the format window is brought to the
front
•
APA 6th Edition format
•
Refs -> Global Change -> Remove Orphaned Attachments
Removes
an attached file from a reference if the file cannot be
located. It can be applied to the selected references in
the List View, the Hits List, or the entire database. This
is not undo-able.
•
If the List View has a DOI column, it will be instantly
updated after performing a Get DOI
•
The Preferences settings for font sizes are comboboxes
You
can enter a point size not listed in the pop-up display.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a screen refresh issue that could cause a pop-up menu in
the list view to flicker. Fixed errors that could occur
when scanning when the format definition window was in
front. Fixed a bug that could result in incorrect Book
Chapter [Book] metatype output if two or more such
citations were found in the same citation group. Fixed a
bug that allowed unnumbered bibliographies to have a
hanging indent only when scanning Word documents. Fixed a
bug with the Book chapter [Book] metatype where a hanging
indent could cause a return character to be added to the
bibliography entry when scanning with Word. Fixed a bug
that could make it seem that unlinked references that had
nested unique ids were actually linked. Fixed a bug that
caused umlauted characters in temporary citations in Nisus
Writer Pro documents to be duplicated. Accented characters
in subject bibliographies generated by scanning from Word
are rendered correctly. Fixed a situation where trying to
download a pdf from a Springer site without access
privileges would result in an error message rather than
failing silently. Fixed several small cosmetic issues in
the Preferences window. Updated Amazon.de search so that it
works after changes made by Amazon.
NEW in Version 10.5.6
•
Amazon searches are now signed
After
August 15th, 2009, this is required to search Amazon.
•
Updated Online Search to deal with changes made by Google
Scholar
•
Upgraded database engine
Note
that if you perform an SQL/Regex search for pages, the
field name must be enclosed in brackets: [pages].
•
The Bookends Browser data detector sheet indicates which
references you already have
This
works with JSTOR and CiteULike, which provide their own
unique identifiers, and with COinS sites for references
that have a doi (not all do).
•
View and sort references by the last modification date
If
a reference has not been edited since entry, the
modification date is listed as "Never".
•
If a reference's first attachment is a folder, Bookends
will initially display the first item in the folder
•
Copy notecards as Hypertext links
You
can paste into compatible applications, such as Scrivener
and Textedit, and click on the hypertext link to open the
reference in Bookends. This can also be done by dragging
and dropping the notecard with the Option and Command keys
held down.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a bug that could prevent the pages from begin imported from
CiteULike. When you right-click on a reference field,
Bookends will show any URIs in the field even if they don't
contain periods. Fixed a situation where the vertical
scroll bar in Bookends Browser would not appear. Improved
handling of COinS imports that have multiple authors. Fixed
a bug that could cause an error when performing a Global
Change -> Change Case using Title Case. Fixed a bug in a
Pages scan where temporary citations in footnotes could be
missed, and another that could result in portions of text
after a footnote not being dispayed until the screen is
refreshed.
NEW in Version 10.5.5
•
Updated
Google Scholar online search and autocomplete paper
Changes
made by Google required an update in the parsing engine.
•
Updated the Get PDF feature to deal with changes made by
certain publishers
•
Improved detection of doi's in pdfs when attaching files
•
Select and manipulate multiple notecards at once
This
can be particularly useful if you want to copy multiple
notecards at one time to another application, such as a
word processor or email application.
•
Improved MLA format
If
a Book short title is required to disambiguate citations,
it will automatically be output in italic (if there is no
short title, the title will be used).
•
When importing pages, Bookends will strip out certain
trailing characters
These
are " p", " p.", " s", and " s."
•
The ambiguous citation/citation not found window is a
regular document window
Unlike
the old floating palette, this window will be visible if
you switch to your word processor to locate the temporary
citation in the document.
•
Reference metadata copied to the clipboard from OpenOffice
Writer can be imported into Bookends
•
Global Change -> Change Case will properly apply Title
Case to words having an apostrophe near the beginning
For languages such as French, contractions such as d' and
l' in front of a noun should be left as lower case. When
using Title Case, Bookends will treat the apostrophe as a
word break character unless it occurs prior to a
word-terminating letter "s" (the possessive case). This is
already handled properly when a reference is formatted for
a bibliography or footnote (see what’s new in version
10.5.4, below).
•
Improved handling of footnotes in Pages ’08 and ’09
documents
Bookends
will find and insert footnotes in scanned Pages documents
if they are reset at the beginning of each page or section,
and if they are denoted by Roman numerals or symbols rather
than Arabic numerals.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a cosmetic bug affecting the List View scrollbar refresh.
Fixed an error that could occur when printing a
bibliography directly to a pdf. Fixed an issue where
editing a format in the Formats folder would actually
update a format of the same name in the Custom Format
folder. Fixed a bug in a Pages '09 document scan where a
temporary citation in a table was recognized but not
replaced. Suggested file names when rebuilding or repairing
databases will take into account the database extension, if
any. Spotlight searches in the List View window work again.
NEW in Version 10.5.4
•
Book chapter [Book] metatype
This
“metatype” allows you to combine information from a book
chapter and book in a single footnote and/or bibliography
entry. Such a citation might look like "Smith, The way
things are, In:
Jones (ed.) 2009. p. 12-34",
where the first third is taken from the book chapter, the
second from the book that contains it, and the last from
the book chapter again. You can tell Bookends to use the
metatype when a certain number of chapters cite the same
book. Bookends will automatically add the book to the
bibliography if it is not explicitly cited in the text (it
is implicitly cited when the book chapter is cited).
•
Exclude citations from the bibliography
If
you place a $ immediately after the open temporary citation
character (usually the open curly bracket), after a scan
the final citation will will appear in the text or a
footnote, but not the bibliography.
•
COinS metadata will be embedded in the bibliography
returned by Bookends Server, if selected in Preferences
This
means that those using Firefox to access your database will
be able to directly import the references from the browser
into their Zotero databases.
•
Option-double click on citation group in Mellel will cause
all members of the group to be made hits and shown in the
Bookends List View window
•
Get PDF From Internet works with more publishers
•
If you right-click on the Title field and it has a
selection, Bookends will offer to put the selected text in
the Short Title field
•
Scripts for Apple Pages
Go
To Bookends, Find In Bookends, Insert Citation From
Bookends, Scan Open Pages Document In Bookends. These
scripts can be accessed while you are running Pages via the
Scripts menu on the right side of the menu bar (it's an
icon, not a word). If you don't see the Scripts menu, you
can enable it by running AppleScript Utility and checking
"Show Script menu in menu bar". If you are running Bookends
for the first time, these scripts will be automatically
installed in ~/Library/Scripts/Pages. If you have run
Bookends before, you'll need to move the scripts there
manually.
•
Increased the time Bookends will wait for a DOI to be
returned (Get DOI) before it stops trying, resulting in a
greater success rate
•
Improved Title Case handling
For
languages such as French, contractions such as d' and l' in
front of a noun should be left as lower case. When using
Title Case, Bookends will treat the apostrophe as a word
break character unless it occurs prior to a
word-terminating letter "s" (the possessive case).
Therefore, for the examples above, entering the letter d or
l in the list of words to be unchanged when applying Title
Case would cause a word such as "d'etat" to be output as
"d'Etat".
•
When creating a new Bookends database, the suggested name
will include the extension .bdb
•
Minor cosmetic changes
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a bug that could cause some custom citation formats to use
the secondary order when the reference was being cited for
the first time. Fixed a problem whe using Title Case in a
format where a word's case is mistakenly change when it
follows certain punctuation, such a period or semicolon.
Fixed a bug in smart search where searching for empty DOI
or PMID fields, or for a reference's unique id, would fail.
Fixed an error that occured when getting a DOI based on a
book's ISBN. Doing an advanced PubMed search restricted to
Random Controlled Trials works again. Fixed several bugs in
Finding references but not putting the results into the
Hits List. Fixed a bug that would cause scanning of the
open Pages '09 document to fail. Scan Open Apple Pages
Document now works on PPC Macs. The metacharacter for
"don't include final citation in the bibliography" (!)
works with Pages '08 and '09 documents. Fixed a bug that
could cause a crash when scanning with a format that groups
references that are always cited together. Fixed a rare bug
where a spurious character could be introduced into
Japanese Word 2008 documents after a scan. Fixed a problem
where files not on the startup volume were left on that
volume after being copied to the Trash (e.g. when
automatically trashing an imported file, deleting a format,
or deleting an import filter).
NEW in Version 10.5.3
•
Nested group folders
Create
a group and folder hierarchy in the List View window with
unlimited sublevels. If a folder or a group is selected, a
newly created group will be placed in that folder or after
the selected group. A new folder folder is created at the
end of the Groups list. Hold down the Option key when
clicking on a folder's expand/collapse triangle and all
subfolders in that folder will be expanded or collapsed.
This is a convenient way to quickly show or hide all of the
items a folder contains. Older databases are updated
automatically to the new groups structure (internally) when
opened in Bookends 10.5.3 or later. If these updated
databases are reopened in older versions of Bookends, the
groups will appear outside of any folders they may have
been in.
•
Flatten groups list hierarchy
The
List View action pop-up menu under the groups list (or a
right-click in the groups list) allows you to "Flatten
Groups List Hierarchy". This will cause all of the groups
and folders to be listed at the root level (that is, no
subfolders). This may be useful if the groups list becomes
disordered and you want to reveal all of the items in it so
that you can rebuild the hierarchy. This function is not
undo-able.
•
Automatically obtain a reference's doi
The
menu Refs -> Get DOI will request the reference's
digital object identifier (doi) from CrossRef. If found,
the doi will be added to the selected reference(s) in the
List View window or to the reference showing in the
Reference Window. CrossRef requires that some reference
fields have accurate information, including author, journal
or book title, first page, year of publication, and article
title. The doi can then be used for features such as
Autofill and Get PDF From Internet.
•
Indicate JSTOR references already in your database
After
performing a JSTOR online search, any references that you
already have in your database will be highlighted in
yellow. Bookends uses the JSTOR URL to identify references.
•
After an Online Search, quickly go to a reference you
already have in your database
Select
a reference that is highlighted in yellow (meaning it
already exists in your database) and right-click. Select
Find Reference In Database (Shift-Command-J) from the
contextual menu to have Bookends locate that reference.
•
Increase/decrease HTML text size in Bookends browser
•
Use a pop-up menu in access bookmarked sites in Bookends
browser
The
“bookmark” icon (a small blue ribbon) brings up a list of
sites you have bookmarked so you can quickly reference surf
to them. You can edit/add bookmarks with this menu. The
same functionality can be accessed with File -> Go To
URL, but the local pop-up menu is more convenient.
•
Scan an open Apple Pages '08 or '09 document from within
Bookends
If
Pages is open, Bookends will enable a menu Biblio ->
Scan Open Apple Pages Document. If the document has never
been saved, Bookends will offer to switch to Pages so you
can save it. If the document has unsaved changes, Bookends
will offer to save the file before doing the scan. If you
choose not to have Bookends do this, the scanned and
formatted document will not include the unsaved changes.
•
Automatic update of User Guide when using Sparkle
When
using Sparkle to update Bookends, the new User Guide will
be downloaded replace the old (if present) in
~/Documents/Bookends/
•
Open online references with a right-click from the
reference window
Right-clicking
in the doi or pmid fields in the reference window drawer
will allow you to select a url that will open the article
or PubMed entry in your browser.
•
If you invoke Autocomplete Paper in the List View and don't
find a match, Bookends will open the (usually empty)
reference in the reference window for manual data entry
•
If you click the Attachment tab in the Inspector floating
window, Bookends will display the attachments of the
currently selected reference
•
Best-guess detection of ambiguous citations during a scan
If
a temporary citation is ambiguous, Bookends will assume the
first word is an author's name and scroll to and highlight
the first match in the ambiguous citations dialog. For
example, if the citation is (Smith 2009} and there are two
possible matches, one where the first author is Smith and
another where the second order is Smith, Bookends will
highlight the former. You can of course then select either.
•
The ability to save searches from the SQL/Regex search
window has been removed
This
function was superseded by SQL smart groups.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a bug that caused JSTOR searches to behave erratically.
Fixed a bug that could cause Bookends to crash when
scanning some Pages documents containing complex images.
Fixed a bug that interfered with scanning when "group
references always cited together" or "sort groups by year"
is enabled. Fixed a bug in scanning of Pages and Mellel
documents where quoted text in one citation could be placed
in a succeeding one if the temporary citation didn't have a
match. The sort direction arrow indicator is now set
correctly in the List View if you are sorting the [Date]
Added column. Fixed a bug where the Rename Attachment
feature in the List View window would suggest a name
derived from a reference other than the the first selected.
Disambiguated MLA citations using the short title will
enclose it in quote marks if the reference is a journal
article or book chapter but not if it is a book. Fixed
several issues with finding the correct reference when
Option-double-clicking on a temporary citation in Mellel.
NEW in Version 10.5.2
•
Modified Get PDF from Internet to deal with changes made by
some publishers
Get
PDF works again with many more publishers.
•
The About Bookends window is now a regular document window
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a cosmetic issue affecting redrawing of popup menus at the
bottom of the List View window. Fixed a bug where
cancelling from the ambiguous citation window during a scan
of a Pages '09 flat file and would result in the document's
parent folder being moved to the Trash. Adding references
to a static group via the contextual menus now works. Fixed
a refresh bug that would cause a reference that was
autompleted from a pdf to appear as a blank line until the
List View changed. Fixed a bug in autofill from Google
Scholar that could result in the incorrect information
being downloaded for a reference that had no match.
NEW in Version 10.5.1
•
Autofill references from the Internet
Automatically
import or update reference metadata in articles and books.
If the first selected reference in the List View (or the
one in the reference window) has a PubMed ID (pmid),
Digital Object Identifier (doi), or ISBN, the menu Refs
-> Autofill From Internet is enabled. When invoked,
Bookends will use the pmid, doi, or isbn to find the
reference metadata (author, title, etc.) and fill in the
corresponding fields in the reference. Bookends will try to
find the reference on PubMed first (even if you only have
the doi), and if the reference is not there will try Google
Scholar. If the reference has an ISBN and no pmid or doi,
Bookends will use it to find the book on Amazon.com. This
option also useful for updating references, especially
those in PubMed, whose metadata can change after the
initial electronic publication. The menu PubMed ->
Update From PubMed has been removed (the function is
included in Autofill From Internet). The menu Refs ->
Lookup From DOI has been renamed Refs -> Lookup Article
From DOI.
•
Import a reference from the Internet by drag and drop of a
doi
If
you drag and drop the doi of an article on a database
window, Bookends will create a new reference and search
PubMed and Google Scholar to find it and import the
metadata. The doi *must* begin with the characters "10."
(without the quote marks), and only the doi can be present
in the drag.
•
File -> Export Attachments
This
menu will be enabled when the first selected reference in
the List Window (or the reference in the reference window
that is in front) has attachments. Bookends will create of
a copy of each attachment (in the case of the List View
window, for each selected reference that has attachments)
in the selected destination folder. The original
attachments will remain where they were. An attachment will
not be copied to the destination folder if the folder
already contains a file with the same name.
•
Export references and their attachments
When
you use File -> Export References (Hits), a checkbox
gives you the option to export any attachments they contain
as well. Export rules are the same as for Refs -> Export
Attachments.
•
Attached text files can be edited
If
an attached text file is displayed in the List View window
lower pane or the reference window Attachment tab, you can
edit it. When leaving the field (e.g. by tabbing) you be
asked if you want to save the changes. Note that if the
text file is open in another application it may not be
possible to save the changes.
•
Reorder attachments
Multiple
attachments are normally listed in the order in which they
were added. You can change that order by rearranging (via
drag and drop) the names in the Attachment Inspector list.
•
Color labels can be applied to the text or the background
The
colors in the color label designations can be used to color
the text or to color the background of the references in
the List View. This choice can be set in Preferences. The
default for existing users is color text, and for new users
is color background.
•
The date or date and time format used by the import filters
matches that of Refs -> Insert Date
•
Attach and display password-protected pdfs
•
New link type: Original:Translation
This
will appear only when for new installations of Bookends.
For existing Bookends users, you can enter this
relationship in Preferences (Links tab).
•
Increased minumum database cache to 10 MB
•
Added a warning when the user tells Bookends to use a
format to create temporary citations (Preferences)
•
The setting of the "Trash after import" checkbox in the
import dialog window is remembered between launches
•
If you attach a .zip file, Bookends will not unzip it when
you choose "Open Attachment"
•
Improved citation disambiguation for the MLA format
When
scanning with a format such as MLA that disambiguates
citations by short title, the short title will appear
without surrounding quote marks and in italic, if you have
set it to italic in the reference. If there is no short
title, the full title will be output in
quotes.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a rare instance in which scanning a Pages document that has
Section Breaks and has been edited and then imported from
Microsoft Word on Windows would result in an unreadable
formatted document. Fixed bugs that prevented Bookends from
coming to the front when a dialog scan was initiated in
Word or Mellel and that could cause problems when Ibid. was
used in some formats. Periods terminating abstracts are no
longer removed when importing MARC records. FIxed a bug
where the progress dialog would not close after rebuilding
an empty database. Fixed a few problems with some formats
would cause the addition of disambiguating information to
citations to fail or be incorrect. Fixed a problem with
scanning a Pages document where control symbols (%, -,
etc.) immediately after the opening citation delimiter
weren't recognized. Bookends will attach a pdf to an empty
reference and perform an autocomplete paper correctly even
if a group is selected or there is text in the live search
box. Using a dash (-) in front of a temporary citation to
exclude authors in a citation group works on a
citation-by-citation basis (just like % does to show
date-only). You can no longer delete the group
"Attachments". Fixed a bug in scanned Pages documents where
the tabs in lines with multiple tabs could be out of order.
NEW in Version 10.5
•
Note streams and notecards
The
contents of the Notes field can be divided into virtual
notecards that can be displayed and manipulated separately.
Create a stream in the Notes field by separating individual
notes with two Returns (a single empty line between the
notes). In the List View window you can show the note
stream by clicking on the Note Stream icon at the bottom
right or by appropriate menu/contextual menu. Each notecard
will be displayed in a scrolling list. Use the + button (or
Shift-Enter) or the - button (or the Delete key) to add or
remove a notecard in the note stream list (hold the Command
key to avoid the warning dialog). Edit a notecard by double
clicking on it or selecting it and pressing Enter. Save the
edited notecard by clicking the Close button or pressing
Enter. To abort press the Cancel button (bottom right) or
press Escape. Reorder notecards by drag and drop. Copy a
notecard's contents along with a temporary citation to the
reference with Edit -> Copy Note And Citation. You can
also drag and drop the notecard with the Option key held
down into a word processor window. If you use Copy Citation
or Copy Note And Citation and the notecard begins with
cited pages (@ followed by the page(s)), Bookends will
include the cited pages in the temporary citation. For
example, if the notecard is "@7 This is my note.", Bookends
might create a temporary citation like this: {Smith, 2009,
#123432@7}. If you are using Copy Note And Citation, the
cited pages will be removed from the beginning of the note.
A contextual menu let's you access many of these functions
with a right click, as well as select any URIs/email
addresses in the notecard. You can even paste a “hypertext
link as text” from one reference into a notecard of another
and right-click to navigate between them. If you drag and
drop text from a pdf or any application onto the notes
stream, Bookends will create a new notecard for it. Set the
font, font size, and color for notecards in
Preferences.
•
Use EZProxy with Bookends browser and reference surfing
If
your institution uses EZProxy you can access restricted web
sites even if you are off campus. Enter the EZProxy URL in
Bookends Preferences (Internet tab)—it must end in %@ or it
won’t be recognized. To start an EZProxy session, open
Online Search and either perform a search in Bookends
browser or with Google Scholar or PubMed (not JSTOR or Web
Of Science, which require ip authentication) and then click
on the Web toggle icon to surf references. You will be
asked for your name and password, and then taken to the
article's web site. You can navigate to the article's pdf
and use the Import With PDF import option. For direct
download of pdfs from these sites (that is, without using
Bookends browser/reference surfing), you still require ip
authentication. If you leave the proxy space (the URL
doesn't include the proxy information), you can start it
again by clicking in the URL field and pressing Return, or
press Option-Command-L. Note: EZProxy is for HTML-based
access. It will not allow you to perform direct searches of
restricted sites—you need to be on campus or have a VPN
client for that.
•
Live e-mail address links in the concise view
Clicking
on such a link will open your e-mail client and insert the
address. In the reference window, right-click on a field
containing an e-mail address to display it in a contextual
pop-up, preceded by "mailto:". Selecting this will open
your e-mail client as well.
•
Display files inside an attached folder in the Attachment
Inspector
•
Import references/pdfs from the Online Search window with a
right-click contextual menu
•
Bookends will strip any trailing non-letters from names
when importing
•
Updated Bookends browser JSTOR data detector
•
Show all chapters in the same book
If
a Book Chapter is selected in the List View or shown in the
Reference Window, Refs -> Show With Chapters will show
all of the chapters from the same book. This already works
with Books, Edited Books, and Conference Proceedings.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a bug that could cause scanned citations in Mellel
documents to be incorrect. Dragging and dropping a
reference from the online search window onto a static group
once again adds the reference to that group. FIxed a bug in
which final citations in footnotes of scanned Pages
documents could appear more than once. Fixed a bug that
could cause an error when copying and pasting text from one
field to another. Fixed a rare bug that could cause an
error when scanning with a format that alphabetized grouped
citations. When moving a file to an attachments folder on a
server, a copy of the original will not be left behind.
Fixed a bug that caused an error to be thrown if you edited
a format with an unregistered copy of Bookends (i.e. the
demo).
NEW in Version 10.4.4
•
Scans will find citations in tables in Pages '09 documents
Scanning
already works with Pages '08 tables.
•
Browse to select subfolders in the default attacment folder
When
attaching a file, you have the option to select a subfolder
in the default attachments folder hierarchy with a "select
folder" dialog. This may be faster than using the pop-up
list if you have many subfolders and sub-subfolders. If you
select a folder outside of the default folder hierarchy,
you will receive an error message. If you create a new
folder with this dialog, make sure its name is unique in
the default folder hierarchy or Bookends may not be able to
find attachments in it.
•
Copy/paste smart groups
In
the List View, select a smart group and click on the Action
pop-up menu or right-click on the group list to bring up
then contextual menu option "Copy Smart Group". Chose the
Action pop-up menu or right click again and the option to
"Paste Smart Group" will appear. The smart group may be
pasted into the same database to duplicate it, or into
another database to copy it. If the group name is already
used, a number will be appended to the name of the pasted
version to make it unique.
•
Edited formats and filters are automatically moved to their
custom folders
If
you modify a filter or format, it will be immediately moved
to the corresponding custom folder in ~/Library/Application
Support/Bookends. This ensures that your modified filter or
format will be retained when you upgrade to a new version
of Bookends. If a filter or format with the same name is
already in the custom folder, the modified file will not be
moved.
•
The names of the static groups to which the references
belong will be shown in the manual remove dups side-by-side
comparison
•
Preferences
-> Override system proxy settings
Bookends
normally accesses System Preferences to get your proxy
settings (if any). If
you
want Bookends to use a different proxy setting from the
rest of your applications, check "Override system proxy
settings" in Preferences (Internet tab) and enter the proxy
server address and port that you want Bookends to use. This
setting will be used by Online Search but not by Bookends
browser (reference surfing), which always uses the settings
in System Preferences.
•
Remove paths to arbitrary attachment
folders
Bookends stores the paths to any folder in which you have
attachments if they are outside of the default folder. On
occasion this can cause problems, for example a very long
pause as the Finder tries to locate a folder on a server
that is no longer available. In such cases you can clear
the internal list of paths with this option in Preferences.
Note that you will have to reattach one file for every
folder if you want
to
reestablish the path. This
does not apply to any attachments in the default folder or
its subfolders—they will always be found.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a bug that could cause scanned citations in Mellel
documents to be incorrect. Dragging and dropping a
reference from the online search window onto a static group
once again adds the reference to that group. FIxed a bug in
which final citations in footnotes of scanned Pages
documents could appear more than once. Fixed a bug that
could cause an error when copying and pasting text from one
field to another. Fixed a rare bug that could cause an
error when scanning with a format that alphabetized grouped
citations. When moving a file to an attachments folder on a
server, a copy of the original will
not be left behind.
NEW in Version 10.4.3
•
Bookends can scan Pages '09 documents saved as flat files
(the default) or as packages
•
Automatic updating of Bookends works again if you have
Bookends 10.4.2 or later
•
Open URLs or URIs linking to other applications from within
Bookends
Right-click
on any field in the reference window that contains a
URL/URI to bring up a contextual menu containing that
hyperlink. This will allow you to, for example, use links
to items in Devon Think 2 and access them while you are in
Bookends. If the URI is in a field that normally contains
multiple lines of text (e.g. the Abstract field), it must
reside on its own line or Bookends won't recognize it.
Application URIs (e.g. to DevonThink 2) will also appears
as live links in the concise view pane.
•
Attachment subfolder hierarchy is cached
The
list of attachment folders/subfolders shown in the Attach
Dialog pop-up menu is cached after the first time the
window opens. If you have a complex attachment subfolder
hierarchy, this will make subsequent openings of the window
considerably faster. If you create a new subfolder, the
cache will be automatically updated. If you bypass Bookends
and add/delete an attachment subfolder the Finder, use the
menu item "Rebuild Folder List" to update the pop-up menu.
•
Send your documents to Bookends as pdfs to be
attached
A
menu item "Bookends" will be added the Print -> PDF
pop-up menu of all applications. The “printed” pdf will
sent to Bookends, which will allow you to attach the
reference to the first selected reference or a new empty
reference (if the List View is in front), or to the
reference showing in the Reference Window (if it is in
front).
•
Bug fixes
Citations
in Pages and OpenOffice documents beginning with modifiers
such as *, %, and - are now processed correctly. Fixed a
cosmetic bug where editing a reference in the right pane of
the List View window would generate an error message if the
List View contained a Links column. The Attachment
Inspector now shows the the selected reference's
attachment, if there is one, when it opens. Fixed a bug
that affected the ability of the up and down arrows to
display all the relavent terms when using text autocomplete
in the reference window. The Online Search text search
field is no longer disabled when switching from a boolean
search to a Google Scholar search. Fixed a bug in scanning
an Apple Pages document with a format that uses year-only
to disambiguate two citations. The concise view scrollbar
resizes correctly when changing references in the List
View.
NEW in Version 10.4.2
•
Automatic updating (Sparkle) updated for Mac OS X
10.5.6
Bookends'
automatic updating was broken by the Mac OS X 10.5.6
update. A new Sparkle framework and the addition of
security features has resolved this problem. Note that it
is the Bookends update after 10.4.2 for which you will be
automatically notified.
•
Updated BibTeX format
The
BibTeX format has been modified to be compatible with the
conditional grouping feature introduced in Bookends 10.4.1.
•
Automatic book chapter links
When
using Refs -> Replicate As Book Chapter, the new
reference will be automatically cross-linked to the book
with a link type of "Book:Book Section".
•
Sort by label
In
the List View window, the action pop-up menu or a
right-click on the reference list has a Sort By Label
option. The sort is descending, so unlabeled (uncolored)
references are listed at the end, and there is a secondary
sort based on the first column (usually Authors).
•
When you rename an attachment in Bookends, the suggested
new name will reflect your
settings in Preferences (e.g. Author Date, or based on a
format)
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
an error that could be generated when scanning with a
custom citation format that called for the references in
groups to be sorted by date. Fixed a rare error that could
interrupt the scan of a Pages document.
NEW in Version 10.4.1
•
Reference cross-links (links)
Establish
relationships between references with the Links Inspector.
The selected reference in the List View (or the open
reference window) will be made the "parent" and appear in
an image well above the linked list. To add a link, drag
and drop one or more references from the List View (or the
unique ID in the reference window) onto the Inspector link
list. Choose a link relationship with the parent (e.g.
Review and Work Reviewed) as well as add comments.
Double-click on a linked reference or the parent reference
to select it in the List View. Use the checkbox next to the
reference to add or remove the reference from the Hits
List. If you have viewed more than one
parent,
forward and back arrows let you scroll through the viewing
history. You can define up to 20 link relationships in
Preferences and indicate which is to be used by default (if
any). You can see which references have links, and how
many, by selecting "Links" as a List View column in
preferences. The reference window has a Link icon which
will be enabled if the reference has links. Click on the
enabled icon to open the Link Inspector and make
this reference the parent.
•
Control format output with conditional
groups
You can tell Bookends to use the information in a given
field in the formatted reference, and if that field is
empty to use another field. "Conditional groups" are
enclosed by curly brackets, and the conditional fields are
separated by the caret, ^. You can place as many
conditional separators as you want, and you can include
punctuation and quoted text in the conditional statements.
For example, if you wanted the title output in quote marks,
and
if no title was present the journal name output, and if
neither are present the publishers name preceded by the
label "Published by", you could use this construct:
{"t"^j^`Published by `u}. The logic is: if there is a title
output it in quote marks, if there is no title output the
journal name, if there is no journal name output the words
"Published by " followed by the publisher's name. If there
is more than one field in a conditional group, *all* must
have data or that group will be ignored.
•
If a format order begins with an editor
(e.g.
an Edited Book), Bookends will punctuate the editors’ names
as specified for
authors
•
Bibliographies will be placed at the end of scanned RTF
file after the first scan
If
you are doing a rescan of an RTF document and retain hidden
citations was enabled, the bibliography
will be placed wherever you had previously moved it.
Subject Bibliographies are placed in the clipboard, to be
pasted into the scanned RTF file after opening it in your
word processor.
•
Word RTF documents can be rescanned
You can choose to "Retain hidden citations" when you scan
an RTF file. If you do, you can rescan the document and
Bookends will incorporate any changes you have made and
generate new final citations and a bibliography.
Note: this option only works with RTF files created by
Microsoft Word. If you open and save the scanned RTF file
with another word processor (e.g. Nisus Writer, Mellel,
etc.) the hidden citations will be discarded.
•
Unscan a Word RTF document
You
can unscan Word RTF file that you have previously scanned
with "retain hidden citations" enabled. The result of the
unscan will be an RTF file in which final citations and the
bibliography have been removed and temporary citations have
been restored. Note that you can rescan without doing an
unscan first.
•
Attachments can be placed in an unlimited number of
subfolders in the default attachments
folder
To
create new subfolders, when adding an attachment select the
"parent" folder from the folder pop-up menu and then select
"New Folder". The default subfolder (if any) will be saved
and restored per database (that is, you can configure
different databases to use different default attachment
subfolders).
•
Rename attachments
You
can tell Bookends to rename an existing attachment. When
you do, any reference in the database that attaches that
file will be updated to reflect the new attachment name.
Note that this will break links to that attachment, if they
exist, for references in other databases. Rename attachment
can be invoked in the List Window action pop-up menu, by
right-clicking on the image of the attachment in the List
View attachment pane, or in the Attachment Inspector.
•
Reattach option
If
an attachment has been renamed in the Finder and Bookends
can no longer locate it, you can select "Reattach" from the
List Window action or a contextual menu that appears when
you click on the attachment pane. Once a file has been
reattached, the obsolete
name will be removed from the reference.
•
Improved Bookends' ability
to correctly identify DOIs embedded in
pdfs
•
You can have grouped citations ordered by date when
scanning with a custom citation format
•
If the final citation contains no text before a cited pages
entry, any spaces or punctuation at the beginning of the
"before cited pages" text will be
suppressed
•
Show books with their book chapters
If
the reference window in front, or the first selected
reference in the List View is a book, edited book, or
conference proceedings, the menu Refs -> Show With
Chapters will be enabled (in the List View you can also
right-click or use the Action menu pop-up). When selected,
Bookends will find and list the book and any chapters it
has (they are identified as such if they are of Type Book
Chapter and have the book’s title in their Book Title
field).
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a bug that could cause the scan of a Pages or OpenOffice
document to hang if there are cited pages in a citation and
no "before" cited pages punctuation entered in the format.
Fixed a bug where right-clicking on the proxy icon in
Bookends browser could return an error. Modified the JSTOR
data detector in Bookends browser to account for changes
made by JSTOR. Fixed a bug where pressing the Option key
would fail to identify smart groups that contained the
selected reference when the smart group specified which
other groups the reference belonged to. Fixed a bug
introduced in 10.4 where the name punctation for a custom
citation was taken from the format used for scanning, not
the custom format. Fixed a bug where double-clicking on an
attached folder could create a copy of the folder. Fixed an
SQL error that could occur when selecting an empty group
with the Attachment Inspector open. Fixed a rare occurrence
in Bookends Server that could result in incorrect parsing
of browser requests and a bug in handling of accented
characters in SQLQuery searches. Fixed a problem that could
cause an error when syncing a Mellel document containing
Bookends citations. Updated Amazon Online Search because of
changes at Amazon that caused the spinning wheel to
continue after finding and displaying less than 10
references. Fixed a bug where the pdf would not be
downloaded from the data detector if the reference didn't
appear in the List View window (i.e. a group was selected
or there was text in the live search box). Improved error
detection so that if you
have designated a default attachments folder and it no
longer exists, you will receive a intelligible error
message when trying to move attachments to that folder.
Fixed problems in the creation of MLA citations that could
cause error messages to be generated during a scan. Fixed a
number of problems with creating a new format when Bookends
had been removed from the Bookends 10 folder.
NEW in Version 10.4
•
Improved MLA citations
Resolve
ambiguous citations in a custom format
by appending a letter to the year or adding the author's
initials/ full name/short title until the citation is
unique (the full title will be used if there is no short
title). The latter is used in the MLA citation style.
•
Expanded format options
There
is one group of settings for author
and editor punctuation in a format (Name Punctuation tab),
and the settings apply to all Types. Author and editor
names can now have different settings.
•
Improved format definition window
The
window has four sections (tabs) to better distinguish the
options. Formatted examples are automatically shown and
updated as the format is modified.
•
Redesign of the boolean online search
interface
The
boolean search fields and options appear in the main search
window, not a drawer, and a number of improvements have
been made in usability. Saved Amazon power searches from
older versions of Bookends will not work with this version
of Bookends and will need to be recreated.
•
Live feedback showing the groups to which a reference
belongs
Hold
down the Option key to highlight in yellow the groups
(static and smart) to which the selected reference belongs.
If more than one reference is selected, groups containing
all will be highlighted. The reference or group list must
have the focus when the Option key is pressed.
•
Autocomplete paper using ISI Web of Science
Requires
access privileges and ip authentication.
•
Automatically move attachments to the
Trash
when a reference is deleted
The
confirm deletion dialog has a checkbox "Move attachments to
the Trash". Use this carefully, because it is possible to
have more than one reference, perhaps in more than one
database, attached to the save file. Note that this setting
is ignored when you remove duplicates or delete references
from the List View without the confirm dialog (that is,
with Command-Delete).
•
Perform boolean NOT live searches
Exclude references
containing given words by placing a dash (minus sign)
before a word in the live search textbox.
For example, "shakespeare -william" will find references
containing the word "shakespeare" but not the word
"william". The minus sign must precede each word that is to
be excluded.
•
Edit references from a remote location using Bookends
Server
You
can use a browser on any platform to edit references in
databases made available via Bookends Server. The syntax is
detailed in the User Guide.
•
Smart group searches can be restricted to references that
are or are not in any static group
•
References imported into Bookends by syncing with Papers, a
Mellel document, or by drag and drop from another Bookends
database are highlighted in the destination
database
•
After online search, select references to import that are
not in your database
After
searching PubMed or Web of Science, right-click on the
reference list and tell Bookends to select just the
references that are not already in your database (the ones
you have will be highlighted in yellow). This is handy if
you want to quickly select and import the references you
don't already have.
•
Display names in the list view as
surname-only
•
Use the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-I in Term Lists to
insert the selected terms into the corresponding field in
the selected reference
•
Window -> Minimize Window works with any window in the
Window menu
•
When attaching and autocompleting from Google Scholar based
on the doi, Bookends will retrieve the most complete
information available
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
an error that could arise when finding text in a reference.
Fixed a rare error in the Find dialog Spotlight search
where nonmatching references were found. Performing a Find
from a Term List no longer generates an error. Fixed a bug
where an ampersand in an attached file's name might not
show up in the Bookends attachment pop-up menu. Word 2004
scans work properly when the insertion point is in a
footnote when the scan is initiated (for users of older
versions, they must replace the old Bookends Word X
Template in Microsoft Office 2004 -> Startup -> Word
with the new one). Fixed some rare cases when virtual
groups could give incorrect results. Fixed a bug on Intel
Macs where colored text settings were sometimes not saved
correctly. Fixed an issue where an incomplete and invalid
doi could be obtained from an attached pdf.
NEW in Version 10.3.4
•
Scan OpenOffice 3 Writer documents
Bookends
can scan files saved in OpenDocument format (with the
extension .odt). Bookends will add the bibliography at the
end of the document or at a location of your choosing. If
set as your default word processor, Copy Citation will
switch to OpenOffice but you will have to paste in the
temporary citation yourself, because at this time
OpenOffice lacks AppleScript support.
•
Automatic downloading of pdfs works with more journals
Includes
PNAS and Cell Cycle.
•
Ambiguous citations in
scanned Pages documents are shown in context
•
Improvements in the sort “ignore”
function
You
can specify that "words" ending in an apostrophe in the
first author's name or at the beginning of the title be
ignored when sorting bibliographies. This means, for
example, that if you were ignoring "L'", "L'enfant" would
sort with the "e"s.
•
Bug fixes
Bug
fixes: Importing BibTeX accented characters works with more
variations. The direction of the sorting arrow in the
"Added" column in the list view is now correct. Fixed a
problem where printing references could result in a
crash
in
Leopard. Fixed a bug where adding a new reference with the
list view window closed would make Bookends quit. Fixed a
problem in which footnotes in a scanned Pages document
could have incorrect sytled text offsets.
NEW in Version 10.3.3
•
Autocomplete Paper
When
you attach a pdf, Bookends will search it for a doi. If
present, and the paper can be located on PubMed or Google
Scholar, Bookends will offer to attach the pdf and then
import the reference automatically. If no doi is found,
Bookends will offer to attach the pdf to an new reference
and then autocomplete it. This option opens a dialog that
displays the pdf and provides several fields in which you
can enter information from the pdf (author, title, year,
etc.). A pop-up action menu in this dialog copies
selected text from the attached pdf
to the search fields, and in the case of authors or year
will attempt to clean up the raw text to a form suitable
for submission to the search engines. Bookends will
use the information to search PubMed, Google Scholar, or
JSTOR, and give you a list of the first 20 references that
match. You can refine the search, if necessary, until you
find the reference. Select it from the list, click on
Import, and it will be downloaded to your database and the
attachment associated with it. Note that you can also
perform a Refs -> Autocomplete Paper on any reference
already in your database that has a pdf or webarchive
attachment.
•
Improvements in locating matching pdfs on the
local
hard drive
•
One-click import of online search
results
In
the online search window the Import button will require one
click if only one database is open and you are not
reference surfing. Otherwise, the Import button will
present a pop-up menu allowing you to select the database
and/or whether to download and attach the current pdf/web
page.
•
Assign hypertext links to groups
Use
the Edit -> Copy Hypertext Link menu (which lets you
copy the link as plain text as well) to copy a link to a
group,
to be pasted into a compatible application (like Scrivener,
DevonThink, and TextEdit). Clicking on that link the
application will take you to the corresponding group in the
Bookends database. When using a hypertext link to a
reference or group in Bookends, the list view will be set
to show all references if it's not already.
•
Improved remove duplicates
The
logic for automatic removal has changed slightly. Now if
two references have identical based on the match criteria,
Bookends will keep the one with more attachments. If
the number of attachments are the same, Bookends will keep
the one with the longer Notes.

•
Improved format Show Example
In
the format definition window, Show Example will use the
information in the selected reference if the Types match
(the reference Type and the Type selected in the format
window). If they don't match, Bookends will use default
reference information to create an example.
•
Bug
fixes
Improved
conversion of smart groups from pre-10.3.2 databases to the
new format. When outputting as BibTeX, en dashes are
correctly converted to two hyphens (--). The modification
date is now updated when a reference is altered by a Global
Change operation. Fixed a problem with direct z39.50
searches failing to return accented characters correctly
even when the text encoding was set correctly. Changed the
escaped sequences for accented characters exports as BibTeX
to match those used when importing BibTeX. Fixed a rare
occurrence
in which exporting references with a very large field that
contained the super- or subscript character could cause a
crash.
NEW in Version 10.3.2
•
Redesigned Find and smart group interfaces and more
flexible searches
Smart
groups saved by this version of Bookends cannot be read by
older versions.
•
Improved smart group searching of static
groups
Smart
searches can be restricted to references that do or do not
belong to particular static groups.
•
Full-window integrated browser
In
the online search window, select Bookends Browser from the
pop-up menu to bring up the built-in browser in the entire
window.
•
JSTOR reference data detectors in the Bookends
browser
This
means that you can use Bookends browser to navigate to
JSTOR if you have ip authentication or username/password
access and import references you find into Bookends. The
automatic pdf download from the browser still requires ip
authentication, but drag and drop import and attaching of
pdfs via the proxy icon will work with username/password
access.
•
JavaScript is enabled in Bookends
browser
This
improves certain interactions on the Web of Science,
PubMed, and other sites. It is selectively turned off at
sites that are known to be problematic when JavaScript is
enabled. If you encounter a problem with JavaScript, please
contact us and provide the URL of the affected web page.
•
Database cache size settings have been moved to the
.plist
If
you are upgrading from an older version of Bookends, the
database cache will be set to 8 MB regardless of what it
was previously. If you had changed that setting, you must
restore it in Preferences and then relaunch Bookends.
•
Download pdfs automatically from PLoS Biology
We
have worked around an error on the publisher’s servers that
prevented this in earlier versions of Bookends.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
a problem with some complex images in Pages that could
cause a crash when scanning. Fixed a Spotlight error that
could occur when looking for local pdfs for many files at
once. Virtual groups containing the Hits and Attachments
groups work properly. Fixed an error that could occur when
importing a COinS reference and the doi was not supplied.
Fixed a bug that could in some circumstances cause an
attachment to be assigned to an apparently random reference
instead of a new empty reference.
NEW in Version 10.3.1
•
Web page reference metadata detectors
When
you use Online Search and reference surf to a web site,
Bookends will automatically detect the presence of embedded
reference metadata. You will be alerted by the appearance
of a green icon that, when clicked, will present a list of
the references. Check the
references you want to import (Bookends will offer to
import the assocated pdfs, too, if it can find them). Web
sites that embed such reference information include
CiteULike (http://www.citeulike.com), Copac
(http://copac.ac.uk/), and OCLC's Open WorldCat
(http://www.oclc.org/worldcat). These sites are
automatically added to your Bookends bookmarks list.
•
Embed reference metadata in Bookends
bibliographies
If
enabled in Preferences, Bookends will add COinS
(ContextObject in Span) reference information to
bibliography files generated as HTML, or bibliographies
that are delivered dynamically by Bookends Server. This
means that anyone who accesses bibliographies on your web
site or Bookends server will be able to see and download
the references if they are using a browser that can detect
COinS, for example Firefox
(http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/) and the free Zotero
plug-in (http://www.zotero.org/).

will use the Bookends browser to display the web site. Hold
down the Shift Key to force the default browser to be used.
•
Improved importing from Google Scholar
When
using Online Search with Google Scholar, Bookends will
attempt to locate and import the most complete information
Google Scholar offers. If no additional information can be
found, Bookends will import the information available on
the web page. Note that if you import by drag and drop
(rather than with the Import pop-up menu) Bookends will
import the information from the web page. The Google
Scholar import filter is now obsolete.
•
The Online Search "download pdf" setting is remembered
between launches
•
Import references from a text file by dropping the file
onto the Bookends icon in the dock

Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where the online search window would open when
an automated PubMed search was performed. Fixed Amazon.fr
searches to ignore accented characters. Em dashes in
temporary citations are handled properly during a scan.
Improvements in unscanning Word 2008 documents. Fixed
several problems with scanning of Pages documents, one
which could cause the scan to abort with a error message.

Bug fixes
Dragging
and dropping Safari proxy icons for links that have "pdf"
at the end onto a Bookends database window will result in
an offer to attach the pdf. Attaching files using the
reference window attach button work again. Remove
duplicates no longer makes mistakes when there is very
little text to be compared. Fixed a problem with JSTOR
where an empty reference would cause Bookends to hang.
Fixed several formatting issues with using Unicode "thin
spaces" in references. Fixed a bug when searching the local
hard drive for pdfs that would bring up the Online Search
window if more than one pdf matched. Fixed a problem where
the BibTeX enable checkbox in preferences was unresponsive.
When attaching a pdf and downloading the source
from the Internet, the rename option will be honored. Fixed
a bug that could cause the wrong reference window to come
to the front when replicating a reference in a group
as
a book chapter. Modified the EndNote XML import parser so
that a journal full title, if provided, will be imported
instead of the secondary title. Fixed a bug where text
entered in the reference window drawer enlarged view might
not be saved.
NEW in Version 10.2.1
•
Reference surfing
Online
Search contains a WebKit-based browser. After searching for
references on web-capable sites (such as PubMed, Web of
Science, JSTOR, arXiv, and Amazon) you can toggle the
reference view from Text to Web. The built-in browser will
take you to the reference on the web site, where you
can
navigate to the full text article or pdf (if available and
you have access privileges).
You can import the reference information and web pages/pdfs
directly into Bookends with a click on the Import button.
You can also attach the web pages/pdfs to an existing
reference by drag and drop onto a Bookends database window
(or save to disk by dropping on the Finder). Right-clicking
on the web proxy icon brings up a contextual menu that lets
you create a new empty reference and attach a web page/pdf,
or attach the web page/pdf to a newly created Internet
reference in which the title, URL, and date and year
accessed are automatically entered. A URL field in the
Online Search window lets you navigate to pages at any site
you choose, where you can obtain pdfs or save the web
pages. When the Online Search window is in front and the
URL field is enabled, the File -> Go To URL menu will
use the Online Search browser instead of your default
browser. Note: the pdf download/import will not work if the
Adobe or Schubert pdf plug-in is installed.
•
Live web pages/pdfs in the List View
You
can copy text from pdfs attached to references, and
hypertext links in attched web pages are live. A toggle in
the Action pop-up menu lets you display pdfs with WebKit
(links active, text selectable) or in the Bookends pdf
viewer (links inactive, text not selectable).
•
Copy selected text from an attached
pdf/web page to the reference
If
you are using WebKit to display pdfs, select text and use
the Action pop-up menu to "Copy selected text to" any
field.
If the field is authors or editors, Bookends will attempt
to parse the names, assuming that they are surname last and
separated by commas. Limitations: Bookends will remove
non-letters from the names (e.g. superscripted numbers
specifying footnotes), but will not remove superscripted
letters. Also, pdfs often have spurious characters (often
spaces) that you can't see but that are copied to the
clipboard.
Bookends will not remove these.
•
Attach a file to a new empty reference
If
you have pdfs with no corresponding reference information,
you can choose to have Bookends create a new empty
reference and attach the pdf to it.
•
Searching JSTOR works again
This
was broken by changes made in the JSTOR gateway
•
A BibTeX @collection
reference will be imported as an Edited Book Type
•
Improved Change Case
Global
Change -> Change Case -> Title Case will uppercase
words that begin with punctuation (e.g. quote mark,
bracket, etc.).
•
Color labels can be displayed and edited in the concise
view pane
•
Book images obtained from Amazon will always be the highest
quality available
•
Highlighting of a drag to a static group is much more
obvious
•
Import article numbers from Web of
Science
Some
journals covered by the Web of Science use article numbers
instead of page ranges. These are now displayed in the
search window and imported to the Pages field in Bookends
(using the AP tag). The doi for such
articles,
if present, will also be resolved properly.
•
Press Command-S to save an edited import
filter
•
Don't Change Case can be applied to words containing
hyphens
This
means that words like X-ray can be added to the Don't
Change Case list.
•
The virtual "issues" field can be used with the binding
command in a format
•
The User16 field for Journal Articles is now used to store
the PubMed Central ID number
This
field has been renamed PMCID. The PubMed import filter has
been modified to import the PubMed field containing the PMC
into PMCID. If you have an older version of Bookends and
renamed the User16 field for Journal Article, your label
will be left intact.
•
Bug fixes
Fixed
several problems with Word 2008, including failure to
remove an old bibliography when unscanning, unintended
substitution of accented characters that followed a
citation, and failure to recognize control
characters like % or * or unicode characters immediately
after the opening citation punctuation. Invoking the Word
2008 Scan and Unscan AppleScripts works when the cursor is
placed in a footnote. Control-Command-1, 2, and 3 now
corretly changes the label in the reference window rather
than changing the tab selection. The items in an attached
Mellel or Pages document bundle will not be listed in the
attachment pop-up menu or in the list of subfolders in the
attachment dialog. Fixed a bug that prevented Bookends from
importing an existing bibligraphy if the references were
preceded by numbers. PDFs imported from a browser by drag
and drop will be renamed correctly. Fixed a problem in
which a temporary citation without a closing citation
delimiter (such as a curly bracket) would cause Bookends to
abort a Pages scan. Fixed a problem where scanning of some
Pages documents could result in truncated citations. Fixed
an out of bounds error that could happen when opening a
database created with a version of Bookends prior to 10.1.4
and selecting an unused Type of 11 or higher when creating
a
reference.
Fixed a problem where replicating a book as a book chapter
would open the wrong reference window if the list view live
search box has text in it. Fixed a bug in which two
citations containing a year and distinguishing letter would
be incorrectly grouped when "Letters for repeated years"
was checked in the format. Fixed a bug in Online Search
where the filter in the Bookends/Import Filters folder
would be used even if there was a filter with the same name
in the Custom Import Filters folder. Fixed SRU search for
the British Library (broken in the last update by changes
made to accomodate JSTOR).
NEW in Version 10.2
•
Apple Pages '08 compatibility
Bookends
can scan Pages '08 files and replace temporary citations
with final citations. Use the Biblio -> Scan A Document
menu, select a Pages '08 document, and then scan. A new
Pages document will be created, and after the scan is
completed it will be opened in Pages and the formatted
bibliography pasted in (either at the end or or a location
you have indicated by entering "" in the document). If
there is an AppleScript error during this phase, you can
still perform a manual paste to place the bibliography
where you want it. If the final citation contains styled
text (e.g. a superscripted number or a custom citation as
in a footnote), the font will be the default font for the
text element. You can change this for one or all elements
in the document by using the Pages '08 Styles drawer.
Although Bookends can scan Pages documents saved with track
changes active, the results may be unpredictable and it is
strongly recommended that you turn off track changes and
then save the document prior to a scan.
•

when you copy and paste it into a word processor.
•
Find/Replace in Term Lists finds terms with
punctuation
•
Files lacking file type metadata but having the extension
.cgi will be recognized as text files when you import
•
Import to Hits List default behavior has
changed
In
the Online Search window, if Import to Hits List is checked
Bookends will add the imported references to the current
hits list. If you want to have Bookends clear the hits list
first so that the hits list contains just the more recently
imported references, hold down the Option key when clicking
on Copy To button or dragging and dropping the references
to be imported.

Bug fixes
Fixed
a crash that occurred when formatting a references whose
journal name was > 255 characters. Fixed a problem with
the incorrect reference being copied when using the Copy
Hypertext Link menu with a format.
Fixed a rare crash that could occur when some pdfs were
attached and checked for the presence of a doi. It is once
again possible to undo a paste into an empty reference
field. Fixed a rare crash that could occur if an author's
name had a comma followed by numbers. Fixed an error
message that occurred when editing a reference in the list
view while the Notes field was displayed in one column.
NEW in Version 10.1.4
•
Term List enhancements
There is an action button that contains the following:
Insert, Find…, Save…, Replace…, Update,
and a boolean setting that
tells Bookends what to display when multiple terms are
selected (AND/OR). Right-click in the term list to see
these options as well. The option "Replace" is the same as
performing a Global Change -> Find And Replace on the
entire database, but with fewer options. The advantage it
offers is convenience if you simply want to correct a
misspelling in a term or want to normalize the spelling of
a term, such as a journal name.
•
The
minimum widths for the reference and list view windows is
smaller
This may useful if you are using a Mac with a small screen,
such as an iBook.
•
Ten more unused reference Types have been added
The
total number of Types you can assign is 20.
•
Spotlight searches in Leopard are
case-insensitive
This makes Spotlight searches in Leopard behave as they did
in Tiger.
•
Better handling of "Ibid." in footnotes
If Ibid. appears in a series of references in a footnote,
the trailing period will not be removed before the
separating comma or semicolon.
•
Boolean NOT searches are much faster
•
Phrases can be entered in the "Don't change case"
list
Bookends will accept phrases in the list of words whose
case should not be changed when using Sentence case or
Title Case. This means proper nouns like American
Revolutionary War Society can be entered and the case will
be preserved.
•
Search for references edited within a defined
interval
In the SQL/Regex search box enter the following
dateModified > datediff( now(),
'01/01/1904 00:00:00', 'second' ) - (X * 24 * 60 * 60)
where X is
the
number of days prior to the present you want to retrieve.
For
example,
dateModified > datediff( now(), '01/01/1904 00:00:00',
'second' )
-
(7 * 24 * 60 * 60)
will find all references edited in the
last week. This includes references entered manually, as
well, but not references added to the database
by importing and never edited. This can be saved as an SQL
smart search.
•
Pressing Command-M in a Term List will add/remove the
selected references to/from the hits
list
•
Bug fixes
Fixed a bug that caused incorrect subject bibliography
output if a format that didn't sort references was used.
Fixed a bug in subject bibliographies where styled text
runs could be correctly offset if there were non-ASCII
characters in the format. Fixed a problem in which scanning
Word 2008 files and not saving citations as hidden text
resulted in the bibliography not appearing at the end.
Fixed a problem with Word 2008 where some documents would
not unscan. Fixed a problem in Bookends Server that would
prevent the default.html page from being found. Fixed a
crash that could occur if the styled text information for a
reference was mangled. When a database is rebuilt, the last
modification date of each reference is retained.
Consecutive spaces in an custom citation format will be
reduced to one space, just as it is for bibliography
entries.
NEW in Version 10.1.3
•
Word 2008 compatibility
A
Bookends hierarchical menu under the
Word 2008 menu Script icon contains five scripts: Find In
Bookends, Go To Bookends, Insert Citation, Scan Document,
Unscan Document. They provide the same functionality as the
corresonding options in the Tools menu of earlier versions
of Word. You can move these scripts out of the Bookends
hierarchical menu and/or rename them, and they will still
work.
•
Update to future versions of Bookends automatically using
Sparkle
This means
that updates will occur automatically and will not require
you to move files or folders manually.
•
Directly search Web of Science
You can search the ISI Web of Science via Online Search
(requires access privileges and ip authentication). You can
search any Web of Science database edition for which your
institution has a license: Science Citation Index, Social
Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation
Index, Index Chemicus, and Current Chemical Reactions.

Bug fixes
The unique id is preserved when a reference is exported to
a tab-delimited text file and then imported to a new
database. The Biblio -> Default Format menu now updates
correctly when formats are checked or unchecked in the
Formats Manager window.
Performing an automated PubMed search no longer generates
an error. Fixed a bug where adding/deleting Types in a
format would fail. Fixed a problem with MLA bibliographies
where a letter would be appended to the year if there were
two or more citations from
the same author. Fixed a crash that occurred when creating
a formatted reference where a field had more than 32K
characters. Fixed a crash that occured with using
only
the Source parser to import references and the reference
was followed by a return character.
NEW in Version 10.1.2
•
Sync databases
Synchronize Bookends databases across a network or the
Internet. Sync can be configured to work for individuals
who use Bookends in more than one location as well as
groups that want to sync personal databases with a master
copy. Sync will keep references (additions, deletions, and
modifications) and groups up to date. Individual sync
options will be shown before they are performed and can be
denied on an ad hoc basis. Ancillary files, such as
attachments, must be synchronized separately.
•
Enabled formats and filters are remembered after a Bookends
update
The list of formats and filters you have enabled is stored
in preferences and won't be reset when you upgrade
Bookends.
•
Replicate As Book Chapter is enabled for Conference
Proceedings
•
Duplicating a reference is faster when the unique id is in
a numeric sequence
•
The date and time of duplication will be used as the date
added for duplicated references
•
Improved show example for formats
If the example drawer in the format window is open, it will
automatically update when you switch references in the List
View.
•
More versatile bibliography sorting
You can
specify that citations in a group can be sorted or not for
both author-date and custom citation formats.
•
Improved Amazon searches
Bookends will remember the Amazon search category (Author,
Title or Keywords, etc.) between launches. Amazon searches
for 13 digit ISBNs work.
•
The ability to sort the physical order of references in the
database has been removed
•
Bug fixes
Fixed a bug that prevented non-pdf images from being
displayed in the list view. Updated the JSTOR import filter
so that it downloads references properly. Fixed a bug in
the info pane where pressing the return key in a field with
a term list would enter two returns. Fixed a bug in the
format examples where "Journal of Biological Chemistry"
would be used for the full title even if a reference was
selected. Double-clicking on a Bookends database with the
extension .bdb will open it in Bookends regardless of the
file type metadata. Retrieving a reference from PubMed when
attaching a pdf works in Leopard. The punctuation after the
last author that is ouput will be suppressed when using "et
al.".
NEW in Version 10.1.1
•
Perform online searches of SRU-compatible
libraries
New import filters have been added for JSTOR, British
Library, and COPAC. Simple searches treat spaces like a
boolean AND. To look for phrases, enclose them in quote
marks. If "boolean search" is selected, the entries in one
of the three fields are treated as if they are within quote
marks.
•
Perform online searches of arXiv
arXiv (http://www.arXiv.org) is a premiere open access site
for e-prints in physics, mathematics, computer ccience,
quantitative biology, and statistics.
•
Smart attachment folders
You can attach folders to a reference. Bookends will list
all the items in the attached folder and you can select any
to view, reveal in the Finder, etc. Any files added to the
folder in the Finder are automatically made attachments
(and if you remove a file from the folder it is no longer
treated as an attachment). Attachments in such a folder are
one level deep (that is, a subfolder in the attached folder
will be shown, but not any files in it). If you add/remove
files from an attached folder, the list view will need to
be refreshed to see the change (just click on the reference
is sufficient for this).
•
Searches ignore diacritics
For example, searching for "Schütz" will find both "Schütz"
and "Schutz". The exception is a Find search by character,
in which case searching for "ü" will not find "u". This
applies to all new databases you create. You must Rebuild
(Keep User Info or not) databases created with prior
Bookends versions to have diactric-insensitive searches.
•
More versatile example display in the Format
Manager
Clicking on the Example button will use the information
(authors, title, etc.) from the reference window (if open)
or the first selected reference in the List View (if open).
If neither are
open, default example information will be used. The example
will update automatically when a different format is
selected. Pressing Command-E when the formats manager is in
front will toggle the example pane open and closed.

Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where sorting on the Added column in the List
View could cause an SQL error. Fixed a nil object error
when editing a reference with the List View closed.
Bookends cleans up HTML entities from attachment names when
importing XML from EndNote 9. Fixed a bug where the
appearance of some pdfs would be incorect on PPC Macs. For
the unmatched or ambiguous list after a scan, the type
ahead function works even if an author's name begins with a
unicode (accented) character. Fixed a bug in subject
bibliographies where style runs in the first reference
could be offset incorrectly. Edit -> Special Characters
now works on Intel Macs. Fixed a bug that caused an error
when importing references from Bookends 7.x that had fields
with non-Roman characters and styled text.

field has information while you are viewing the main tab.
•
PDF orientation corrected if necessary
The List View display pane will always show a pdf in a
readable orientation even if it was scanned in as a
vertical image.
•
PDF viewer will skip damaged pages
It will write a message to the Console telling you which
pages it couldn't read.
•
Improved DOI lookup from PDFs
Bookends works with more pdfs (for example those from PNAS
and J Exp Med) to locate the citation information on PubMed
when they are attached.
•
Automatic proxy server configuration
Bookends
gets the HTTP proxy server and port information (if any)
from System Preferences. If you are using an authenticating
server, you still need to enter you user name (id) and
password in Bookends Preferences, Internet

Improved BibTeX escaping of reserved and accented
characters
•
References exported as XML retain full links to
attachments
This means that if you import these into EndNote 9 or later
the attached files will retain their links.
•
Bug fixes
Bookends
will recognize attachments with the extension ".htm" as
html files. Fixed a bug where Find PDF on
the
local drive would result in a list of possible hits but no
pathnames visible. Fixed a bug where a new, not upgraded,
Bookends Preference
file would list duplicated column options for the List
View. Fixed a bug where accented characters in the subject
bibliography subject lists were not rendered properly.
Fixed a bug where importing styled text from an EndNote 7
XML export file could cause an error on Intel Macs. Fixed a
bug where a find/replace restricted to a field in the main
tab could also finding matching text in a drawer field.
Fixed a bug where the new name of a renamed SQL smart group
wasn't shown. Fixed a bug where sorting by date added
didn't work. Fixed a rare bug where a global change ->
insert for a large number of references could corrupt the
database. A cosmetic bug in which the List View fields
could be drawn on top of one another after a rebuild was
fixed.
NEW in Version 10.0.3
•
View attachments in a tab in the reference
window
A pop-up menu at the bottom of the window lets you switch
between multiple attachments. A contextual menu lets you
manipulate the attachments.
•
More versatile display of attached files
Bookends can show the textual contents of attachments of
many different file types: .doc (Microsoft Word), Mellel
(XML), RTF, RTFD, Nisus Writer, and HTML. The display
contains the main body of the text only (no text styles or
images, and in the case of Mellel no note streams or
footnotes). The Bookends Spotlight search will find text in
these attachments if they are in the default attachments
folder (or subfolders). Note that to find Mellel file
attachments you must have installed the Mellel Spotlight
plug-in. PDFs and images can be zoomed up to 300%.
•
Improved Remove Duplicates
If two duplicates are indistinguishable, the older one (the
one with a lower sequential number) will be marked for
deletion. The manual verification shows duplicate
references side by side. Only fields that have information
(in either reference) will be shown, and any fields that
differ will be highlighted in red. Field names will be
preceded by a clickable symbol. When clicked, a dialog
containing that field from both references will allow you
to copy/paste or drag and drop text from one to the other,
so that you can merge the reference information into one
reference and then mark the other for
deletion.
Navigation arrows let you move amongst duplicate pairs, or
you can click on particular references to examine.
•
Compare references
If more than one reference is selected in the List View,
you can use Refs -> Compare References to view the first
two selected references side-by-side in a new window. Only
fields that have information (in either reference) will be
shown. In this window you can move between references using
a stepper control or enter the numbers of the references
you want to compare. You can mark/unmark the references in
this window to add/remove them from the hits list, and
assign ratings. Field names will be preceded by a clickable
symbol. When clicked, a dialog containing that field from
both references will allow
you to copy/paste or drag and drop text from one to the
other.
•
Show PubMed references you already have
When doing an online PubMed search, Bookends will highlight
in yellow any retrieved references that are already in your
database (determined by matching PMIDs). The database must
be open. If more than one database is open, Bookends will
examine the database nearest to the Online Search window.
•
Bookends
will refuse to open a database located in the same folder
as itself
This is done so that users won't inadvertently delete their
databases when replacing the older with the newer Bookends
Folder
when upgrading Bookends.
•
Switch to a linked word processor with a menu
command
•
Don't clean up consecutive spaces in formatted
references
This format option tells Bookends to allow runs of spaces
in a formatted reference. This is useful, for example, for
formats like RIS that require two spaces between each field
tag and the following hyphen.
•
Z39.50 Default connections assume returned text is encoded
as UTF-8
•
Deleting a reference in the reference window has been
simplified
•
You can delete references when a smart group is
selected
•
The List View window title is the name of the
database
•
Bug fixes
Fixed several cosmetic bugs where the width of the keywords
or notes field in the main tab could be wider than the
reference window, or the width of the keywords field in the
second tab could be too narrow. Multiple OpenURL servers
are now shown correctly in the list view contextual menu.
You can now open attachments with long names via the
display pane contextual menu. Fixed a problem where
incorrect styled text data could result in a nil object
error. Fixed a bug where creating a new reference when
there was text in the live search box and one of the
columns contained reference numbers would open a new
reference window with text already entered from another
reference. Edited styled text with unicode characters in
the Notes field tab is saved correctly. Fixed a bug where a
Mellel verify scan using a format with styled text to
replace temporary citations would result in the RTF
formatting commands being embedded in the citation object.
Changes to the pdf zoom value using the contextual menu are
now saved.
NEW in Version 10.0.2
•
Configurable display of keywords and notes
The reference window can be configured to display the notes
or the keywords in the main tab (set in Preferences).
•
Scan .rtfd documents exported from Pages
'08
This means that even if you have graphics embedded in your
Pages file it can be scanned by Bookends (export it from
Pages as "rtf"). Note that graphic placement may be altered
by exporting/importing as rtfd, and certain metadata such
as track changes and comments will not make the round trip.
•
Lookup from DOI
If the selected reference has a doi, this menu option will
open your browser and go to the address pointed to by the
doi resolver at http://dx.doi.org/.
•
Update references listed on Pubmed
If the selected reference(s) has a PMID entry (either in
the drawer or in the URL field), selecting the menu Refs
-> PubMed -> Update From PubMed will fetch the
reference again from PubMed. If the information in any
field you are importing differs from the current entry, the
newer information will replace the old. Fields that aren't
identified in the PubMed import filter will be untouched.
This is useful if you import pre-publication reference
information from Pubmed and want to update the record once
the paper is published. It also means that if you enter
just the PMID, Bookends can download the entire reference
for you.
•
Choose the application to open an attachment
on-the-fly
Open an attachment in any application that can handle it by
dragging and dropping the image from the display pane onto
the application icon in the Dock or in the Finder.
•
Manipulate an attachment even if its contents cannot be
displayed
You can drag and drop, open with a double-click, or right
click to open a contextual menu a attachment the display
pane whose contents cannot be displayed (e.g. a Word .doc
file).
•
Improved list view updating
If the reference Type is shown in a List View column, it
will be updated immediately if the Type is changed in the
reference window.
•
Rename local pdfs on Find & Attach
If this Preferences option is checked, Bookends will rename
the pdfs found with Get PDF -> local hard drive as
specified in the popup menu (by author date or according to
a format).
•
The default status of the "rename attachment" option is
remembered between launches
•
The PubMed filter distributed with Bookends imports the DOI
(digital object identifier), if
available
•
Output reference ratings in a
bibliography
The letter to use in the format's order field is 'r'. The
result will be 0 (unrated) to 5.
•
Bug fixes
Shift-Command-U opens the correct URL when two or more
databases are open. Editing the keyords in reference window
no longer causes a subsequent Command-W to close the List
View window. Fixed a bug in which a new Bookends 10
Preferences file (not an upgraded file) would not remember
certain settings between launches. BibTeX acronyms in the
title will be completely surrounded by curly brackets (if
elected in preferences) even if they are the last word in
the title. Fixed a bug in which importing references with
extremely large abstracts could cause the import process to
stop. Corrected a situation where a graphic attachment with
the file type incorrectly set to TEXT would be opened as a
text file in the Attachment Inspector. Journal Glossaries
created on Intel Macs now have the file type set correctly.
Fixed a bug where invoking Quit with a reference window
open just closed reference window but did not quit. Fixed a
bug where outputting authors in Small Caps in styled text
could create a RTF file that couldn't be opened by a word
processor. The "Reveal in Finder" contextual menu in the
display pane now finds files with very long names.
NEW in Version 10.0.1
•
Bug fixes
Fixed: sorting the Date Added column didn't work and could
cause an error when adding references with the column
selected. Fixed: bibliographies can be sorted again. Fixed:
the keyboard shortcut for OpenURL is shown only once even
if there are multiple OpenURL servers. Fixed: a bug in
Subject Bibliographies that could result in an out of
bounds error. Subject bibliographies can now be sorted.
Fixed: the size of the display pane is remembered between
launches, as is the size and position of the List View if
it was closed while maximized. Fixed: automated PubMed
searches work again. Reference files created with a
"Bookends" export are selectable in the Import References
Get File dialog. An attached pdf or image file can be
opened by double-clicking on it in the display pane. Fixed
a bug where spurious characters would be output if a title
began with a smart quote and the format called for Title
Case (like Chicago 15th).
NEW in Version 10
•
Bookends 10 requires Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or
later
•
Revamped user interface with integrated pdf/image/text file
viewer
The List View contains four panes, three of which can be
open or closed (they can be toggled with icons, a View
menu, or the keyboard). The panes are: groups, references,
info (concise summary or Notes), and display (formatted
reference or pdf/image/text file attachments). PDFs in the
display pane are shown in their entirety, and can be zoomed
or scaled to fit. The reference window has a tabbed
interface. The main page contains most fields, including
resizeable Abstract and Notes. The second tab contains
Keywords, and the third has an enlarged Notes field. You
can select the tab with the mouse or keyboard (Command-1 =
main, Command-2 = keywords, Command-3 = notes).
•
Direct Z39.50 access to online libraries
Access libraries using UNIMARC or OPAC. Text encoding can
be specified, allowing accurate retrieval of accented and
non-Roman characters from many non-English sources. Direct
Z39.50 access supports userid/password and proxy servers,
but not an authenticated proxy servers. The Library of
Congress gateway is available if an authenticated proxy
server support is needed.
•
Two new user-defined fields
Default values are DOI (Digital object identifier) and, for
journal articles, PMID (PubMed ID). DOI has been added as a
criterion in the advanced PubMed search.
•
Reference ratings
Ratings, from none to 5 stars, can be set by clicking on
the rating icon in the reference window, or in the List
View with the action button or a contextual menu.
•
Subject bibliographies
In a subject bibliography references are grouped under a
subject heading. Subject bibliographies can be made for
references in the hits list based on any of these criteria:
authors, editors, authors and editors, journal, keywords,
reference type, color label, or static group.
•
Direct export of references to Refbase
Refbase is an open source online reference repository.
Bookends can automatically upload references to Refbase.
Refbase can be searched via a browser, and references
downloaded as files and imported into Bookends or any other
reference management application. The Refbase organization
has created a public Refbase server for Bookends users. In
addition, any institution can install their own (free)
Refbase servers for internal use.
•
Add references to Bookends databases via Bookends
Server
Remote users can upload references to a database by
submitting them in a tagged format that a Bookends import
filter can parse (e.g. RIS, PubMed, EndNote Refer, BibTeX,
etc.). An example web page that demonstrates several very
flexible techniques to do this is included in "Serve a
Bookends database in 5 minutes (or less)".
•
Send a text file containing references to others via
Bookends Server
You can have Bookends send the results of a remote search
to a text file. This allows you to send reference in a
tagged format (like RIS or EndNote Refer) that remote users
can import into their reference manager. A format to output
RIS files is included.
•
User-defined attachment names
The suggested name for a Bookends attachment can be
author-date or defined in a format.
•
User-defined temporary citations
You can cite by Content, Author/Date/unique ID, or any
format.
•
User-defined hypertext link text
You can use the title (default) or define the visible
portion of a hypertext link that you create in Bookends via
drag and drop or copying to the clipboard.
•
User-defined Concise View
The concise view in the List View info pane can be the
default provided by Bookends or contain information
specified by any format.
•
Append letters-only to repeated dates
For author-date citations and repeated authors, you can
tell Bookends to output repeated years and distinguishing
letters (2006a, 2006b) or simply the letters (2006a, b).
•
Improved Word and RTF document scanning
Bookends will consider adjacent temporary citations to
belong to the same group. For example, {cite1}{cite2} is
the same as {cite1; cite2}. If any characters or style
changes occur between the citations they will be treated as
different goups.
•
Open URL is a hierarchical menu
This allows quick access to your favorite web sites. If you
have entered a URL for Refbase in Preferences, it will
appear in the Open URL list as well.
•
Import tagged information into two
fields
•
Omit authors from final citation
If the first character of a temporary citation is a -
(hyphen or dash, such as {-author, date, citation info}),
Bookends will omit the authors (or editors) from the final
citation. When used with an author-date format, this is
identical to using a % (show date only). When used with a
custom citation format, all the elements in the final
citation will appear except authors/editors.
•
Use Spotlight for attached pdfs or text files when doing a
Find or searching with a smart group
Bookends will look for pdfs that match the query and are in
the Bookends attachments folder (or subfolder). The results
of this search are combined with any other criteria in the
Find or smart group dialog.
•
Spotlight searches are faster
•
Improved BibTeX output
Acronyms in the title can be output between curly brackets
to preserve their case, e.g. {DNA}.
•
Display the date a reference was added in the List
View
Sorting of this column is by the date.
•
Bookends will offer to rename attachments even if they are
not moved to the attachments folder
•
Set the format for Inserted Date
Use System Preferences setting or yyyy-mm-dd
•
Bookends will automatically check for and alert you of new
versions on launch
•
User-defined fields have a maximum of 2044
characters
•
The text used to substitute for repeated authors can be
styled (italic, bold, etc.)
•
Improved bibliography sorting
If all the sort fields are the same (i.e. author, editor,
title), Bookends will order them as they are entered in the
database
•
Automatic backup is turned on by default when the
Preferences file is first created
•
Internet Search has been renamed Online Search and moved to
File. Utilities is now Extras
•
Use Command-1 through Command-8 to select the corresponding
tab in Preferences
•The
Attachment Inspector will display the text at the beginning
of a text file
The encoding will be set that that specified in File ->
Import Text Encoding at the time the file is shown
•
A text file dropped on a window with the Command key held
down can be attached
•
More than one OpenURL server can be stored and accessed
with OpenURL Search
•
Bookends will show all files if the Shift key is held down
when telling Bookend to import from a
file
This allows you to select text files downloaded from the
Internet that lack the usual identifiers (like a .txt
extension).
•
Bug fixes
Bookends will not append a letter to "In press" in a
reference in a bibliography if there are two "in press"
citations by the same author. Fixed a bug where moving a
database between two computers with two monitors each, in
different configurations, could result in the reference
window opening off-screen. Double-clicking on a PubMed
reference in the Online Search window takes you to the full
text in your browser (if available). Fixed a bug in which
the Bookends Spotlight search would fail to find
attachments whose name contained certain punctuation
characters. Fixed a problem where a damaged or inaccurate
Mac OS X Spotlight index could cause Bookends to report an
error when doing a Spotlight seearch. When you export a
reference directly from Papers to Bookends (File ->
Export), the location of an attached PDF is imported into
Bookends. When performing an OpenURL search for a book
chapter, the volume title is used instead of the chapter
title. Fixed a bug in some Preferences updated when moving
from Bookends 8 to Bookends 9 which would prevent Bookends
from finding attachments outside of the default attachment
folder. Fixed a bug where a new reference displayed the
information from an existing reference when it was created
as part of a static group and the Live Search textbox had
text. Fixed a bug where the last letter of a custom
citation ending in a quote mark could be removed when using
cited pages.
