I got that mail, too. After installation, try to add a PDF file to Benubird via explorer right-click, and the buttons will work. It even seems they have managed integration with Directory Opus now. I just keep on testing.

Thanks for that. I gave it another try. I guess it didn’t like it that I had PDF Xchange open during installation.
It does have some nice features for organising PDFs (such as the ability to import them from subfolders as well, to tag them in multiple ways en mass, creating virtual folders and sub-folders etc.). At the moment though I can’t seem to find a use for it, as I have all my PDFs categorised already some other ways (linked via EndNote or CT or manageable in DOpus).
But I can see that this could be useful for sorting out some huge and messy PDF collection. As for DOpus integration, it doesn’t seem to work for me, as nothing happens when I add a file via DOpus.
