This is the result of Papyrus combining the "Export" function with the "Print" function. "Print/Export" is disabled if you have not set a default printer in the Clasic environment, via the Chooser. So launch Chooser, and select any available printer. You might need to relaunch Papyrus, but then the Print/Export item should be enabled. -- Dave Goldman (dave at ResearchSoftwareDesign.com) Research Software Design The PAPYRUS Bibliography System 617 SW Hume Street Portland OR 97219-4458 (U.S.A.) fax 503-452-8920 Technical Support: support at ResearchSoftwareDesign.com Other Questions: info at ResearchSoftwareDesign.com Web: http://www.ResearchSoftwareDesign.com/ From baskin at bio.umass.edu Mon Jan 8 09:03:39 2007 From: baskin at bio.umass.edu (Tobias Baskin) Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2007 09:03:39 -0500 Subject: [Papyrus-Mac-L] bookends In-Reply-To: References: <7F25D412-5961-4FAA-9380-CAC15BBD389E@uandes.cl> Message-ID: Greetings Papyrusters, Bookends?

In my opinion not quite as nice as Papyrus, but then that was what I used most often. However, it seems stable and does what I need. Questions and 'bugs' are promptly addressed.

Download the demo and check it out. If you browse through the Bookends forum you will found out that Jon Ashwell, the programmer of Bookends is taking care of his customers and gives fast and much appreciated support. This is worth a lot. I test Bookends regularly, but I don't feel as comfortable as in Papyrus. It's a while ago now, but I'll try to give you an impression of what I noticed. - Keywords: In Papyrus there is a consistency control. If you drag a keyword to the keyword field (for example from the abstract) Papyrus accepts only those which are in the list, meaning for example that uppercase words are changed to lowercase words. Bookends is not aware of this differences. It only offers to expand your keyword after you have typed the first characters. Three times the same keyword is no problem in Bookends (same with authors). Papyrus warns you with that. - Hierarchical keywords. I have made use of them in Papyrus. Although I think even Papyrus would need some further development in this category, I think it's a very helpful feature. - Journals Lists. The lists in Papyrus seem to be far more sophisticated. I like having Journal information (ISSN, website, abbreviation) just once. In Bookends I don't even have Journal websites and an ISSN number in each reference. This is just something I noticed in the new reference and term list windows. I didn't check the importing and formatting abilities of Bookends yet. Bookends is a nice program with a nice community and it is updated regularly. Certain features (PDF management, online database search) of Bookends are not implemented in Papyrus. So it depends on your usage if it gives you more benefits than Papyrus. From my point of view Papyrus is still more intuitive, more powerful, more intelligent and it is a shame that there seems to be no way that it can make the step to an OS X application. If Papyrus is not making it, maybe Bookends will evolve in a way that Papyrus users are attracted to it. It seems that it is - looking at Endnote and Sente - the best candidate for that.
