A few of you have noted a change of behaviour in Endnote X2 with regards to Connections, Filters and Styles. It used to be that Endnote looked only at the files stored in the locations referenced in Edit, Preferences, Folder Locations.

This is no longer the case. The files in that location are now considered to be locations for your personal files. So Endnote not only displays the files in these folders, but also the full default set that comes with the installation. This is unweildy in that there are over 2700 connection files, over 600 filter files and over 3600 style files. Whenever you open the Connection Manager (or its style or filter counterparts) Endnote grabs the files from both the installation and the personal locations. The result is a slow-to-load, rather large list. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way around this as the Endnote software comes in a single package with no way of removing redundant files.

Within the default Endnote Connection files, there is a UC catalogue connector called simply U Canterbury. There are also three National Library connectors called Nat Lib of NZ …

I will see if there is any more information about this, but in the meantime be aware that this seems to be the way it works.
