What is the easiest way to make DTpersonal and Bookends play together in the bibliography department. I mean: insert references from Bookends into a rtf DTpersonal document and have them scanned by Bookends producing a nice final bibliography list.
I know there are already posts about the subject in this forum, but I got a bit confused about scripts, and so. Question is: what is the state of the art now from an user point of view, not for a scripts expert.
I don’t use Bookends, but I can add that any Bookends to/from integration that requires scripting will require DT Pro or Pro Office as DT Personal is not scriptable.
BE isn’t scrioptable either. The way I do it is I index the BE attachments folder and attach the syncronize script to the folder so it updates itself. This will place all your attachments into your database and expose them to the DT AI search
Thanks Eric. Now can you solve the mystery for me? How does DT attach URL’s to PDFs? I know it isn’t a tag, nor is it in the comments. But I know it is retained! (And can another program do the same thing in order to facilitate interoperability?)
scanning of rtf’s in DT is theoretically possible I would think, but probably something that sonnysoftware would need to create.
Right now, the option for you is to drag the rtf on to your desktop, then choose scan document in Bookends and choose the document on your desktop. Not ideal, but gets the job done.
Yes, that is an alternative. I can also open the RTF with one of the mentioned word processors (using “Open With”) and scan it with Bookends even from inside the DEVONthink database.
