In thirty years on a Mac, I don't think I've ever seen a more obtuse application (Scrivener was a snap compared to this). I don't know if there are better programs out there, but if you are on my level, good with tech but new when it comes to footnote/reference software you risk losing your sanity with this program. The tutorial reads like it's written for people who already know how it works. There is no step by step tutorial for someone unfamiliar with this type of software, no quick start guide to get you through the basics. I would say it's about half as difficult to figure out than Bookends. My book is on an old espionage case that was extremely complex. I have gone through the video tutorials and read through the users guide and these are my thoughts, take them for what they are: I am a journalist on a deadline, and I need to add a considerable number of footnotes and endnotes to a manuscript. Fixed an error that occurred when editing labels in Settings and the reference pane had never been opened in the library window.Updated the RIS.fltr so that it recognizes PDFs exported by Zotero with the Export Library menu option.Corrected the tooltip explanation for the Copy Link option in the PDF annotation popover.Exceptions are the font and text size, which you specify in Bookends Settings, and the spacing of the hanging indent.Bibliographies with hanging indents that are generated when scanning a Word document will assume the paragraph style settings at the point of insertion.Members of the first group create annotations, those in the second copy to the clipboard, and those in the third create notecards. The options are grouped by function, and the groups are separated by double vertical lines.Improved UI for the PDF annotation popover.Previously, these options were buried in the reference list's large contextual menu. Group by Color is a separate contextual menu item that preserves the order of the unlabeled references.Right-click the column header to select a sort option for the single-column reference list.The default reference list columns can be restored in Settings -> Lists. The Settings -> List options for manipulating columns have been removed. You now tell Bookends which fields to show and in what order by right-clicking a column header and using the contextual menus or by drag and drop. The right-click options for manipulating reference columns have been rewritten to provide a consistent UI regardless of how they are added, removed, or reordered.The last column always extends to the right border, and a column dropped into the last position will assume that width. The sort status of the dragged column will be preserved as will all column widths except for the last. Columns can be dragged and dropped to place them in any order. The way that columns are handled in the multi-column reference list has been entirely revised.Drag-reorder the reference list with animation.Sync your library with Bookends for iOS on your iOS devices, so that you have your references and PDF's with you wherever you are.Annotate and markup PDFs and have the information instantly accessible in notecards.Įasily migrate references and attachments from other reference managers to Bookends.Automatically locate and attach PDF's on your hard drive.Automatically download and attach the PDF of an article from the Internet if you have access permission.Automatically rename and organize PDF files on-the-fly.Attach any file (such as a PDF) to a reference and view or open it instantly.Bookends also offers a robust assortment of file attachment features:.Bookends allows for powerful group-based searches, with static, smart, virtual groups, and smart folders as well as tag clouds that make hierarchical searches easy.
