After using BibDesk in this context a bit more, I realized that, if you can relate the PDF to a bibtex record, then displaying the same view in the File Content search that in the other ones would be the most sensible and easy choice. You'll need to enforce the view of the Local-Url column and maybe make the PDF icon a bit bigger to emphasize its importance in these results, but overall keeping the same design than the others means keeping all the same good functionality. Just my 2 cents. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
