You can create notecards that consist of a header or have two parts, a header and content. The header will have a slightly darker color than the content and will be displayed in bolded and enlarged text. A header is created in the Notes field by placing the # character before the text (Bookends takes care of this for you if you use the command "Add Notecard With Header" (or with the note stream showing, click on the Add pop-up menu or right-click on the note stream itself). If the header has no content (that is, nothing in the line below it), it will be centered in the listbox cell. If it has content associated with it, the header will appear in the top half of the cell and the content in the lower.
- New error reporting mechanism
If you encounter an error unrelated to the database engine, you will be offered the chance to create a message in your e-mail client that contains your comments (e.g. what you were doing when the error occurred) and diagnostic information that will help Sonny Software determine the cause of the problem. Only the information you see in the e-mail message will be sent to Sonny Software.
- Keyboard shortcut to add a notecard
When the note stream is showing, Command-[ will add a new notecard and open it for entering text. The Shift-Enter shortcut has been removed.
- Optional .fmt and .fltr extensions for format and import filter files
If you use unix-based methods to transfer files between computers, the file metadata (file type and creator) will be stripped off and Bookends will not be able to recognize format and import filter files (and the file icon will be blank in the Finder). You can restore recognition by adding the extension .fmt or .fltr to the format or import filter file name, respectively, in the Finder. These extensions are optional, and for backward compatibility will not be automatically added to the format or filter names distributed by Sonny Software.
- Bookends will display pdfs even if they lack a file type and/or .pdf extension
- Mark/unmark all linked references in the Link Inspector at once
Shift-click on the checkbox next to any reference or right-click and select Mark All or Unmark All from the contextual menu.
- Use the down arrow key to change the search field in the Live Search box
This is handy if you want to quickly change from one field (or All Fields) to another. Press Return or Enter to accept the new field to search (Esc or click outside the menu to cancel).
- Bug fixes
Fixed a bug in scanning Word or Nisus Writer Pro files where the open parenthesis of a citation output as a bold or bold and italicized number would assume the style of the number. Improved handling a dropped pdf proxy icon from Bookends browser on an empty reference list. The concise view background color will not revert to white when you edit a field. Importing to a specific static group by dragging a pdf from the Finder onto that group works again (was broken in a previous update). An active edited field in the reference pane is saved if the window is closed. Fixed a bug that could cause a spurious number to be output after the year when using the MLA format and final citations consisting of only the year. Fixed a bug where a notecard added to one reference could be appended to a different reference. Fixed a bug in cross-links where the default parent-child relationship was not saved correctly if it wasn't the first option (users who have set this to another option will have to check it again in preferences for the fix to work).
