I upgraded from X7 to X8 a few days ago, the new version duplicated (very badly) many entries (but not all of them). When I delete an inappropriate duplicate (using the backspace key) I spend approximately 5 seconds watching the spinning wheel. And the slowing increases as I use Endnote
This is very disappointing and I am looking for alternative bibliography tools
in addition to my previous complaint Endnote X8 completely emptied one of my libraries (again just one, not all of them) and I can restore it even using a year-old backup of that library.
I am not waiting for a reply considering the other users comments, I am just now switching to a different bibliography management toolâŠ
In my experience, when I upgrade Endnote or word to a new version (even a new update) â I often save as to make a new copy of the document, and run thru a convert to temporary citations/ update citations and bibliography sequence, as I find that the way the two programs interface may have subtlely changed. This often fixes any lagging issues, and duplicate entries such as those you describe. Â
Same problem here. Endnote X8.2 on MacOS High Sierra version 10.13.6 (17G65). But I do have huge terms lists.
