Sorry if I'm stepping into this discussion that lately, but I'm also one of those people with a burning desire for a default-PDF-viewer preference at a transparent place in BibDesk. In fact, I just didn't find this preference although I was looking for it in the BibDesk preference pane. I then googled it and stumbled into this forum, so I'm happy that the setting exists and works!

Why do you developers often see things so deeply different than ordinary users? As an ordinary user, I simply don't care if the PDF-viewer setting is an "advanced preference" or a "primary preference" or whatever, I just want to set it, and I want to find it at a location where I expect it to be, which is definitely not under "Fields". But more to the point: What exactly is wrong with putting the setting under "General"? As far as I can see, the setting does not influence my system-wide default PDF-viewer setting, but just and only the BibDesk-wide viewer setting. It simply lets me define what viewer to use within BibDesk, so it is a veritable BibDesk setting and not in any way suspicious or dangerous. How come you and Adam think to the contrary, that it's an "evil" setting which should be hidden from the user or even removed? -- View this message in context: http://bibdesk-users.661331.n2.nabble.com/Way-to-make-Skim-default-only-in-Bibdesk-tp2201367p6316691.html Sent from the bibdesk users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
