I am having the same problem, trying to open 1.8.4. I click, and I get ehet the rainbow beach ball of death.

I’ve attached the diagnostic report from the Console; there was no Spin Report. If there is other info you need, I’d be happy to help.

I have uploaded a test version to <https://bibdesk.sourceforge.io/BibDesk.dmg>. Perhaps you can download it and test it out, it may do the group table layout a bit more efficiently.

The file I was opening had a lot of unique keywords in all the entries—I assume by “groups” you mean those created by that.  I opened the .bib file in vim, deleted all the keywords lines from every entry, and now it opens.  It takes, literally, 2 minutes to open (53 entries) and overall navigation in the system seems a bit sluggish, but I can see all the entries.

While that’s open I tried to open the original version with all the keywords still in it and the beachball spins and spins and the MEM and CPU ramp up.

Just standard fonts, but yes, I do have quite a large number of groups.  
Opening an empty file works just fine, but when I open my default bib file it hangs.  

Attaching another sample, this time I opened BibDesk with an empty file first, and then tried the default bib file. 
I’ve waited a couple of minutes now, but it remains unresponsive.  

Also, I’m still on an old OS, Mojave, maybe that’s an issue?

Or could it be that you are using some non standard font for the group table?

Unfortunately not too much. It seems to take a long time to layout the group table.I would expect that the systems auto layout would be efficient, we’re not doing anything really complicated and expensive for this particular view. Do you have a really large number groups?

Does that help any?

I really see no problem with a 1000+ file. And I have really no idea what could give a problem. I cannot say anything without seeing a sample from someone who has this problem.

Opened BibDesk; MEM = 20.4 MB, CPU = 0.0%.  

Opening refs.bib (67 kb) from ~/Desktop via File → Open… 
MEM = 1.04 GB (and rising!), CPU = 99.9%
Also has it’s in red with (Not Responding) behind the name.

If I wait a super long time, the file will open but the lag in trying to do anything is horrible.  So, basically, I can’t do any work with it.

Running macOS Catalina (10.15.7), 2.6 GHz 6-core I7 with 32 GB RAM.

[After about 1 minute, and file still not opened, MEM = 8.07 GB and rising.]

Strange, I am having no problem.

Perhaps you could make a Sample of BiBdesk using Activity Monitor, and send it to me off list?

I updated. My default is an empty library (0 references) so BibDesk does open for me. However, on trying to open RIS and BibTeX files, I too get Mac's spinning beach ball. (Mac 10.14.6 if that is has an impact.)
