Packaged library behaviour on a Mac?

EndNote EndNote Training
2

Hi Rosemary,

Saving the library as a .enlp package should not have caused the problem, but putting the .enl file inside the .Data folder would have broken the PDF “links” made prior to moving the .enl file inside the .Data folder.

If you still want to trouble-shoot this, I would back up everything you have so far and then repiece the library as follows:

  1. Make sure EndNote isn’t running.

  2. Check the .Data folder to see if there are any .Data folders within .Data folders. If there are, then copy any and all PDFs to the “pdf” folder in the main .Data folder.

  3. Delete all the .Data folders within the main .Data folder.

  4. Move the .enl file out of the main .Data folder.

  5. Start EndNote, open the library, and see if the PDFs open and if you can attach new PDFs.

These suggestions are based on what you’ve told me, but it might be a good idea to call tech support for further assistance: 800-336-4474

When training, the best thing we can do is make users aware of the pitfalls of going inside the .Data folder and hope they remember this when they are on their own.

Good luck!
