Tutorial on the Use of Devonthink and Bookends

Here are some:

But is there this one DT3-Bookends Script that I need?

There are a lot of scripts offered here for the DT-Bookends connection. But does a script exist, that imports a paper’s reference from Bookends into the custom metadata in DT3? (pdf per pdf) I would like to use Bookends only for reference collection. I don’t want to collect pdfs in twice (DT3 and Bookends), but only in DT3, but Bookends is much better for getting the reference in. Indexing is no option for me, either.

DT3 Script: Create stack for each document for multiple cards/snippets with backlink, cited text or note, comment, and tagging & perhaps a synergy with the Bookend script

I owe many ideas and pieces of codes from @korm, @Frederiko, @bluefrog, @cgrunenberg and many other members in finishing this very interesting script (I think). IMHO, the most genuine inspirations are coming from Make an Annotation with Links, Notes, Tags v2 and Annotation Pane (Annotation with Links, Notes, Tags v3). Two things are in my mind before I start this project: (1) DT3 has dramatically and simultaneously increased both the ease of use as well as the level of customisation (2) I admir…

Linking Bookends reference to DEVONthink

There are a number of scripts in the forums on linking or importing a Bookends reference into DEVONthink. For my purposes I use a script that links a Bookends reference to a DEVONthink record. I use a folder in the Finder that I index with DEVONthink and is the same folder where my Bookends references are stored. The script uses an external dependency - exiftool, that will need to be installed separately. Exiftool changes the title and author fields of a PDF. For anyone else that might the scrip…

Autolinking Bookends & DEVONthink records

Hi all, If anyone here uses both Bookends and DEVONthink and is interested in the scripting possibilities between them, I’ve just posted this over on the Bookends forum: https://www.sonnysoftware.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4823 You can see a description of what the two scripts I’ve produced do. The relevant gists are: Link all records in group: https://gist.github.com/zverhope/86c5f7b85cb612aa2629d81c0a3dc241 Link selected record: https://gist.github.com/zverhope/9e9e55f5738cd3674a89f70…

and many, many more when using the search function in both forums… dating back up to 2011… but I do not know which of them are still valid… maybe users that use both apps can describe her currently used workflows and scripts, would be a great starting point if you want to publish a tutorial.
