Hmm, that's what I thought. Except that I have never managed to
convince the "File Matcher" to do what I want... It indexes the
files for ages and never finds anything. And the indexation is
redone next time I look for something, so I have not a clear idea on
what's going on... I assume this must be me doing something wrong,
but I have failed to find a clear (to me) documentation for the File
Matcher in the manual or the wiki. Could you please point me to such
info?
Thanks!
You have to choose 1 or more documents you want to match to, and a
bunch of files to match (which you can add one by one or by adding
folders). The file matcher indexes the files (which takes some time,
but it happens in the background) and tries to search the index for
the title and the first author of each publication in the document(s).
It then displays the matches it finds. YMMV.

The best place to link scripts is on the Wiki, because that will
stay around.
What you describe thugh sounds very much like the build in File
Matcher.

Hi all,
With Christiaan's help I managed to write an Applescript that takes
a selection of publications and searches, via the Spotlight mdfind
program, for files that may correspond to them in a directory where
I have accumulated for years PDF files with names not following any
particular rule. The script then asks me whether to link these
files or not. Being myself very unexperienced in Applescript, I
thought that someone more proficient might be interested in the
script and perhaps show a way to improve it. As it is, it runs
quite slowly, but my main concern is not that, but the fact that
BibDesk is blocked until the end of the script execution.
My question is: may I send the script to this list or there is a
better option or a more appropriate forum?
Cheers,
Miguel
