Bookends versions

v12.7 [Apr 26, 2016]
- The new preference file, called Bookends Preferences and stored in the ~/Library/Application Support/Bookends folder, is much smaller than the old, will not grow in size over time, and is resistant to corruption. Existing preferences as far back as Bookends version 11.0 will be converted to the new schema automatically. If you are upgrading from Bookends 10.x or earlier, preference settings will be reset to the defaults.
- Use the Action pop-up menu under the groups pane or click on the group list header to search for a specific group. If a match is found Bookends will select that group and scroll to it. If you type in only a partial name, Bookends will search for a group that begins with those letters and select the first one it finds. You can't search for the three mandatory groups: All, Hits, and Attachments.
- Improved single column reference list. Bookends remembers the field the list is sorted by when you click on the column header to toggle between descending and ascending sorts. Cosmetic changes.
- Improved drag visual feedback. The textual content in the drag of items in the reference list will be displayed (e.g. either the temporary citation or, if the Option key is held down, the formatted reference). The pdf proxy icon will be displayed when it is dragged. Previously, only the rectangular outlines of these items were displayed.
- Improvements to OpenURL. Bookends now supports arguments that specify the DOI or PMID: rft_id=info:doi/ and rft_id=info:pmid/, respectively.
- Fixed a bug in Autofill From Internet that uses the ISBN where an editor's name was missed. Fixed a bug where some in-text citations could be missed when scanning a NWP document that as pictures. Fixed several bugs in formatting that affected sorting and numbering of references in a bibliography. Fixed a bug that prevented an online search from being performed if you selected the terms from the search history pop-up menu while the search button was disabled. Fixed an issue that caused an error to be thrown when scanning with certain formats. Fixed a bug that could cause an error when loading preferences. Fixed a bug in the default field settings for the Newspaper Type. Fixed a bug that could cause edited format settings to be saved to the wrong Type if the Type pop-up was used before the information had been saved.

• Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where a period following cited pages would not be removed before semicolons in grouped footnotes after a Mellel scan. Fixed a rare bug where secondary Ibid. citations could have misplaced style information with formats containing a secondary order. Fixed a bug where Word and NWP scans would output Ibid in formats with secondary orders even though the preceding matching citation was in a group. Fixed a bug where the first reference would always be used to display an Author-Date citation example in the Format Manager, regardless of which reference was selected.
