Most of my research has been read in printed form (much through ILL). I guess I need to spend more time on this.Īlso, to everyone, how much do you use online databases/files/PDFs for theological research? Perhaps I just don't have adequate access to these resources, but they have not been that critical yet. I have read the entire thread and both of your reviews of BE, but I feel like I am grasping at straws because I don't even understand half of the features you mention, much less know if I will need them.
MELLEL BIBLIOGRAPHY PDF
I am planning to use Mellel because of its RTL and then export to RTF (for Word 2007) or PDF to send to my advisor.
MELLEL BIBLIOGRAPHY MAC
Would you consider a more in-depth review of strengths and weaknesses of BE and Sente? I am switching to Mac soon and must choose one or the other to complete my thesis.
Sente also seems to have 3 or 4 developers while BE is one person. Sente is that, while Bookends is carbon-based. I don't know much about developing, but I can just "feel" when I am in a cutting-edge cocoa-based program. I created the SBL formats for Bookends, and Sente's developers have asked me to create SBL formats for them as well which I'm in the midst of doing. Its global changes ability is also better than Sente, as is its importing ability.īoth can handle complex formatting. Bookends does "live" searches in the list view). However, Bookends is cheaper and it is still a solid program that is stable and fast- I think it will always be a bit faster than Sente, (eg. Thanks a lot for pointing me to Skim, that's exactly what I've been looking for! This summer now that I don't have any paper deadlines or classes I'll make the switch, thanks for the Sente rec. There are several words that I constantly misspell and it's nice to have them automatically corrected as I type. One thing I do like about Word, which I haven't taken the time to see if Mellel does have is the autocorrect feature. It runs so much smoother the outline feature is great and doesn't act all dodgy like Word does of course RTL Hebrew. Hopefully these are addressed in future revisions. The text doesn't wrap around images, just above and below. Also, the way Mellel handles images isn't ideal. It's not an everyday occurrence that I have long footnotes, but it does occur.
when a footnote extends to a second page, the following page should have a footnote separator that extends across the page.
One is the footnote continuation separator, i.e.
Re: Mellel, there's just a few small items that I wish it handled better. However, Bookends is cheaper and it is still a solid program that is stable and fast I also like its organization in the left column better. I like Sente's UI better, its note-taking ability is nicer, and its new links feature and start-with-the-PDF feature make it in my opinion the better choice than Bookends now, despite some shortcomings. I have no doubt that I will actually end up in Sente eventually, but it will take a good effort for me to get all my Bookends stuff into Sente. Sente works better with Pages and BE does, and Bookends works slightly better than Sente does with Mellel, but that will be rectified at some point by the Mellel developers. Rob, you can read my review of Bookends on the SBL forum here: īookends has gotten even better since then, as I reviewed v.8 and it is now into version 10.īoth programs have their strengths and weaknesses. Has anyone used these much? How do they compare? What would you buy, and why? Thanks for any discussion! I am looking into reference management software, and the two products that seem most full-featured for the Mac are Sente and Bookends.
