You can force it to move existing linked files using Publication ->  
Consolidate Linked Files.

I recommend searching the help book for "autofile" which should give  
you plenty of information.

[Bibdesk-users] reorganizing local files

2008-01-13 Thread P Kishor
I have been using 1.3.13, and maybe it is just me not pushing the
envelope much but I haven't experienced any of the problems or issues
mentioned by some folks on the list. Other than being able to see the
local attached file in the vertical pane to the right, frankly, the
program still looks as it was earlier -- really good, and not much
changed ( turned the right pane off, and continue to read the PDF in
the pane below the list of the publications, much like the traditional
3-pane view of Apple's Mail.app). The program offered to do the
conversion of the local repo, and then did nothing, so I figured there
was nothing funky about my repository.

Of course, I am also discovering (new to me) features, and I have a
question re. one of them. I checked for orphan files, found a few, and
then discovered in Prefs that I can set the name of the local files as
they are filed away in the repository folder. So, I decided to set
that to

%a1/%Y/%t30(%u2)%e

which should make a file look like

"~/Documents/BibDesk/McCracken/2004/BibDesk, a great application t(aa).pdf"

I thought that, iTunes like, BD would reorganize my AutoFile folder,
neatly creating the requisite folder hierarchy and storing everything
accordingly. Of course, no such thing happened. Was my expectation
wrong? Does this apply only the "future" files added to the
collection?

Changed to "Remove Group" in the next nightly.  We probably changed

[Bibdesk-users] Book-related Applescripts Updated for 1.3.13

2008-01-13 Thread Alexander H. Montgomery
I've updated my book AppleScripts to version 0.4.3 to fix the problems  
with 1.3.13 and problems with WorldCat. These scripts search WorldCat,  
Amazon, and the Library of Congress, offering a quick way of fixing  
existing book cites or adding new ones. All are available at

http://people.reed.edu/~ahm/Projects/Citation/BibDesk/

There are three locator scripts (WorldCat, ECampus, and Amazon), a  
script to add WorldCat URLs, and three scripts to quickly fix and/or  
add books to your library. The README for the latter is below.

-AHM

This script suite contains three scripts for pulling down book  
information from the Library of Congress, WorldCat, or Amazon to  
BibDesk.

WARNING: Use at your own risk. Always make a backup copy of your data  
before using these scripts.

Installation:
1)Place all files in the "Put in ~/Library/Application Support/BibDesk/ 
Scripts" folder in ~/Library/Application Support/BibDesk/Scripts/
2)Place all files in the "Put in ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions" folder  
in ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions

Book Add by ISBN.scpt
--Gets the WorldCat/Library of Congress/Amazon (checks in order  
SearchOrder) entry from your ISBN and adds the book to the front  
window's database

Book Add from Amazon.scpt
--Gets the Amazon entry from your search, gives you a list of books,  
then adds the selected book(s) to the front window's database

Book Cite Fixer.scpt
--To try to fix the cites of the selected books,  run the "Book Cite  
Fixer" script on your books that have fields filled in. Entry types  
other than "book," "inbook," or "incollection" are presently ignored.  
If multiple entries are found, it will give you a list of the entries  
(up to 3 currently, settable by property maxResults); after selecting  
an entry, it will give you a list of fields to fill in. Note that you  
can use this as a way of searching WorldCat/Library of Congress/ 
Amazon; open a new entry, fill in a couple of fields (don't forget to  
tab out!), then run the script to fill the rest of the fields. It  
checks in order SearchOrder.
--To match better, it only looks in five fields. If an ISBN is found,  
it searches on the first 10 or 13 characters of the ISBN (checks for  
13 first); otherwise, it uses title, editor, author, and year. Titles  
are restricted to the first part (before a : or ;), it uses the last  
name of the first author, and tries to get the first name of the  
editor if it exists (everything before the first comma).

Book Locator Amazon.scpt

Ah, interesting.  I was not aware that "%u0" was an option... I  
assumed X had to be greater than 0 in the "%uX" expression.  This is  
perhaps not as clear as it could be in the help files.

Thanks!

We added that a couple weeks ago after users requested the ability to  
sort and see at a glance which entries had files associated.  Same  
thing exists for URLs, and I prefer it to the old system.

As during nightly build testing, I'd strongly urge people to try it  
out for a while before lamenting the apparent loss of features!

I have a naming scheme "author+year+short journal+pages". This is a  
*systematic naming scheme, and it is unique for my PDF files (I see  
that it would not be in case I had more than one file per reference).  
My label is the same as my PDFfile name, as in the case of the  
original poster.

Okay, I did not know this detail. I assumed that a unique letter would  
always be added. This would not be acceptable because the above naming  
scheme is used by all of my group members, in BibTeX/LaTeX, in Word/ 
Endnote, and for saving PDF files of literature to our group partition  
on the server; so it needs to be systematic (and should not rely on  
unique letters).

Yes and no. See also my other post. Note that the cite key generated  
this way is unique *for the publication*, but for files it has to be  
unique *for the file* (on disk). These are different requirements, in  
particular now that a publication can have several files. Just use "%f 
{Cite Key}%u0%e". This will most of the time create a file with the  
same name as the cite key, but if necessary (and only if necessary)  
makes it unique. And you'd want that anyway to avoid overwriting a file.

The fact that they're all PDF files is irrelevant.  The unique  
specifier is only added if a file with the newly generated name  
already exists on disk; if your filenames are unique already, as you  
say, you won't notice a difference.

I don't understand this complaint (and regardless of the disclaimer  
below, it is a complaint).  How could you see the PDF file before  
without selecting or opening it?  If you're thinking of drag-and-drop  
from the main table, add a "Local File" column and drag the paperclip  
or click on it.

If people on this list ignored the discussion over the last 4 months  
we've been working on this and did not test the nightly builds, that  
is your own fault.  Frankly, I'd suggest that the only place you'll  
find sympathy is in the dictionary... :)

First of all: there *is* a definite need for it now, because it is  
*possible* to add more than one files to an item, which all can be  
auto-filed (the word 'possible' is crucial). So you need a way to  
make the name unique, otherwise they would overwrite each other. It  
is just a consequence of the new possibility.

It will *not* break your old naming scheme, it just has to be  
modified a little bit.

In most cases when you already have a format that works, the only  
thing you'd want to do is add a "%u0" of "%n0" just before the file  
extension (I recommend your format always to end with "%u0%e" or "%n0% 
e"). This will use your old scheme when possible, but creates unique  
file names when needed.

Hm.  So here's my problem -- for cite keys, I use something like  
"first author's last name"-"journal"-"year" followed by a lowercase  
letter if necessary for uniqueness.  I can't auto-generate them  
because I use my own quirky abbreviations for journal names (e.g.,  
"Journal of Fluid Mechanics" is "jfm", but "Annual Review of Fluid  
Mechanics" is "annrevfm").  Each cite key is unique, so I use them as  
autofile specifiers and all of my references live happily in a single  
folder on my disk.  Is there any way to achieve this in 1.3.13?

I suppose that this is a lengthy way of asking, "Is there any way to  
have the cite key and the file name be the same?"

> I think there was a post on this yesterday as well.

Yes, I see that now -- sorry I missed it.  I apologize for the overlap.


Thanks very much for your help.

Best, Chris

I know that this is intended (new) behavior. But it also breaks my old  
and proven naming scheme for the PDF files (I only have PDF files  
attached to all references; therefore, there is no need for a "unique  
identifier" as part of the label name or file name) in the same way it  
does for the original poster and, as a matter of fact my whole way of  
dealing with the PDF files. I have not had the time to look at the new  
version in detail (and probably will not have it in the near future)  
in order to find out how I can adapt my established to the new way of  
dealing with files. I must admit that I also do not like the fact that  
I have to select a reference now in order to see the PDF file and be  
able to click on it.

Don't get me wrong: this is not a complaint. I followed the previous  
discussion and decided to stay quiet - so that's "my own fault".

I just wanted to explain why I think that several other people are  
going to bring up problems like the one above, be it intended behavior  
or not.

Holger

Cite keys should be unique within a document, but it's not  
guaranteed.  AutoFile needs a specifier that lets it create a unique  
filename on disk, since the filenames on your disk are independent of  
your document and cite keys.

I think there was a post on this yesterday as well.

[Bibdesk-users] Autofile problems with 1.3.13

2008-01-13 Thread Christopher MacMinn
Hey folks -

I just installed BibDesk version 1.3.13, and it's giving me a hard  
time about the "local file format" I've been using for autofile.  I  
use the cite key as the local file name, so my custom file format  
string was simply "%f{Cite Key}"... but now 1.3.13 says that this is  
invalid because "Format for local file requires a unique specifier."   
I'm fairly certain that cite keys are required to be unique, so I  
think this is a bug.  Thoughts?

Thanks!

 This has been discussed before on this list. a problem is that
 BibDesk does not have a single database, so any cached index  
 somehow
 needs to be associated to a .bib file. This association is
 necessarily weak and fragile. And as a bibtex file can easily be
 added as a plain text file or any other bibtex editor, the index  
 may
 easily get invalid. Therefore it makes caching the index very
 fragile, you could easily get an invalid cached index. If we can
 find
 solutions to these problems we might in the future do this.

I'm not sure. It would require the linked file object to cache the  
last URL to compare any changes. Moreover files that are not  
displayed may not be triggered to check whether they're changed. And  
most of the time the alias won't be updated, as the FSRef is used. So  
then this would not even be relevant, I think. Of course it would be  
irrelevant for cached indexes.

Perhaps a cached index could also contain a list of publications and  
their URLs to compare and see if items in the cached index have to be  
updated.

How expensive is hashing the .bib file? If it's quick, you could  
imagine storing the hash with the index whenever the .bib file is  
saved. When a .bib file is opened, you could regenerate the hash and  
use it as a key to find the appropriate index.

Sorry if this is naive.

Quite right.  Of course, a manual method could be added to nuke the  
cache, but that's not very gratifying.  Could linked files post a  
notification when they update the alias?  Even that wouldn't tell us  
which file(s) in the index were bad, so the whole thing would have to  
be rebuilt.

I have no idea about the cache but I guess that this is in a fixed
location. Check the hash (MD5?) of the bib-file against a hash-table
in which hashes are "noted down" and linked to corresponding indexes.
Then you wouldn't even have to worry about the location of the
bib-file and the time-stamp because e.g. MD5-hashes are supposed to be
nearly unique (and you do not have to worry about forged MD5-hashes
because nobody would be interested to forge the MD5-hash of his
bib-file…but if you are afraid of errors regarding this…well, then it
would be a problem for sure)

I'd actually planned to do something like that by now (storing the mod  
date of the file and an alias to it with the search index cache, which  
would be a pretty good link between document and cache).  The  
documents are stored as URLs inside the index, though, and we don't  
have a good way to work around that aspect of the fragility at this  
time.

A time stamp would almost certainly be a requirement for this. But  
the .bib file when opened should somehow be able to find back it's  
corresponding cached index before it can even compare anything. And  
of course after deciding about how to do all this, it has to be  
implemented by someone...

Another problem is that we just introduced aliases, so you can move  
your files around in Finder without breaking BibDesk, but that would  
invalidate the index (and we have no way of monitoring those changes,  
since your files can be anywhere).  I casually watch the Papers  
support forum and their index maintenance seems to be a persistent  
headache.

Can't you just put a time stamp and maybe a hash-value of the file for
identification in the index, compare that to the associated file when
it's opened and if the stuff doesn't fit re-index occurs on opening
the file?
This would cut down indexing at least a little bit, wouldn't it?

This has been discussed before on this list. a problem is that  
BibDesk does not have a single database, so any cached index somehow  
needs to be associated to a .bib file. This association is  
necessarily weak and fragile. And as a bibtex file can easily be  
added as a plain text file or any other bibtex editor, the index may  
easily get invalid. Therefore it makes caching the index very  
fragile, you could easily get an invalid cached index. If we can find  
solutions to these problems we might in the future do this.

[Bibdesk-users] website updates

2008-01-13 Thread Adam R. Maxwell
Anyone with web skills want to update our web page?  If we get a few  
volunteers, that might make it easier.  Some things I noticed:

- Some (all?) screenshots are now outdated.

- The only thing I can find that alludes to file/link management is  
"...BibDesk also keeps track of electronic copies of literature on  
your computer."

- The import/export sections are also shockingly outdated

- Even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibDesk and 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software 
  have a more current feature listing.

Suggestions?  We talked about moving it all to the wiki at some point,  
but I'm not sure if that's feasible, and it also has too many  
distracting wiki-isms for a home page.  Moving the feature lists and  
screenshots there might be good.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] download pdf script broken

2008-01-13 Thread Alexander H. Montgomery
It accesses the URL via

set theURL to the value of field "URL" of thePub

which needs to be changed to

set theURL to linked URL 1 of thePub

I'm in the process of fixing my scripts to work with 1.3.13 properly.

I don't know why, but it may be related to the new file layout. This  
is also reflected in the AppleScript support. E.g. 'local file' and  
'remote URL' are now deprecated, and they refer now to the first  
linked file and URL from the new file layout rather than the Local- 
Url and Url fields.

[Bibdesk-users] download pdf script broken

2008-01-13 Thread Nicholas Cole
Dear All,

Does anyone else find that the new release has broken the "JSTOR
Download PDF" script from  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If so, does anyone know why?

Best wishes,

Nicholas

[Bibdesk-users] CiteInPages 0.98a bug fix

2008-01-13 Thread James Harrison
CiteInPages version 0.98a fixes several bugs in the author-date script  
related to the substitution of editors or title content for authors  
when authors (or editors) are not specified.

CiteInPages is a package of Applescripts and templates for BibDesk  
that format in-text citations and bibliographies in Apple's Pages v. 3.
