Re: [Bibdesk-users] File migration dialog

2008-01-02 Thread Ingrid Giffin
These suggested changes to the dialog sound good--I opened one of the
nightlies to look at another feature, and was quite alarmed by the migrate
dialog.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to include a reminder to make a backup
before clicking ok?

 Excellent!  I was hoping someone would provide feedback like this.
 Since you have commit access you can even fix it :).
 
 What's actually changing - will migration move my files on disk or
 will it just change the file contents?
 
 No.  It converts local file fields to opaque data, which will be saved
 as Bdsk-File-N fields.  Remote URL fields will be saved as Bdsk-Url-N
 fields.  It's undoable, and the only thing changed is the BibTeX file
 when you save it.
 
 If the appropriate box is checked, the old fields will be removed.
 
 I think the dialog should be clearer about what's actually going on.
 
 It now reads:
 Local File and URL fields have been converted to use a more flexible
 storage format.  Choose Migrate to display the migration interface,
 which can show problems and convert permanently to the new format.
 
 I suggest: (assuming I understand it correctly:)
 
 BibDesk would like to update all Local File and URL fields in your
 database to a more flexible format.
 Choose Migrate to begin the process. No changes will be made yet.
 This can also be run at any time from the Database menu.
 
 
 The fact that it shows errors and converts permanently can then be
 explained in the migrate window.
 
 Changes will be made to the file if you check the box, but other than
 that this sounds easier to grok.  There's a help button in the window
 that links to some discussion of this, and if you have time to comment
 on or fix that I'd appreciate it.  I don't want anyone to get burned
 on a new feature...
 
 Also, the menu item for Database-migrate files was confusing. I
 thought it was going to move files on disk. Perhaps update File and
 URL fields?
 
 Sounds good to me...or maybe Convert instead of Update?  This
 makes it clear that it doesn't just affect files (and we should
 probably rename bits of the API to make that clear as well).

Re: [Bibdesk-users] File migration dialog

2008-01-02 Thread Christiaan Hofman
Not necessarily. Automatic conversion does not always take place.  
E.g. if the item was already converted before, any new local file  
field will not be automatically converted. The file migration dialog  
still converts those items. Also it may be necessary after an import.  
Also the file migration dialog can tell you why some files may not be  
converted, automatic conversion will be silent.

 Seeing as file migration is, in fact, automatic on opening, isn't the
 only function of migrate effectively to delete your old local-url
 and url fields? As such, shouldn't it say something like Your files
 have been migrated. Do you want to remove the old url and local-url
 fields?

Re: [Bibdesk-users] http: URL thumbnails

2008-01-02 Thread Alexander H. Montgomery
It would be helpful to put a cap on the number of records to put  
thumbnails in the sidebar (similar to the maximum number of items to  
show in the preview window); I accidentally had it open when I  
selected my entire bibliography, and had to force-quit.

It could even use the same maximum as the preview pane.

 OW has a single column, so it can size thumbnails to that width.   
 The
 file pane is an iPhoto-style grid view like IKImageBrowserView;  
 check
 out the test project for the fileview framework to see what it looks
 like.  The original plan was to have it in the bottom pane, where
 zooming is more useful.

 That explains it. So it'd be a big change to make it autosize with
 one column?

 Yes.  I believe it would make more sense to write a new view class
 using the icon generation/threading/caching.  Maybe a subclass, but
 not enough of the layout is exposed as an API to make that easy, and
 it would be like killing a gnat with a shotgun in some respects.  Have
 you looked at the code at all?

 I do think that'd be better behavior as long as the file pane is  
 along
 the right.
 (But of course I'm open to having my mind changed)

 We may have an option of displaying it at the bottom in future, since
 I don't think that was ever settled.  So I see your point, but I'm not
 terribly enthusiastic about it for various reasons.

You should not have to force quit.  Thumbnails should only be rendered if 
they're visible, or will become visible as you scroll, so there's already an 
implicit cap.  Having said that, I made some significant performance 
improvements in it this morning.  The web thumbnails were using a lot of 
memory, and loads weren't being canceled correctly.  If you can reproduce a 
problem in the next nightly, sample it and let me know.

Thank you for the quick response! I have used LaTeX for a while, but am new

When you open your bib file in BibDesk, the cite key should be  
displayed in one of the columns. If that column is blank, double  
click the row for that entry and enter the cite key (which is  
klitzing:qhe for one entry and klitzing:nobel for the other).

 This is a LaTeX/BibTeX problem, not a BibDesk problem.  It looks

 you forgot to run the bibtex program, but you'll need to include

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Problem using Bibdesk

2008-01-02 Thread Alex Hamann
Hello,

could you post a step-by-step description of what you are doing and  
how exactly you are trying to generate the bibtex file? Be aware that  
you need to select a package which can manage the desired  
bibliographystyle. Natbib.sty is widely used while I - being in  
humanities - use biblatex or jurabib.
After choosing the sty-file and implementing it according to the  
manual you have to run latex-bibtex-latex-latex. Only after this you  
get correct citations and a correct bibliography.
Also: using bibdesk will ease the management of bib files. One thing  
I noticed is that your citations have inconsistent cite keys. You  
might want to make them consistent using Bibdesk so that errors in  
the citekeys are better visible and citekeys themselves better  
recognizable (just my 5c, you may of course stick with your approach).

 Thank you for the quick response! I have used LaTeX for a while,  
 but am new to BibTeX and BibDesk. I have been trying to get a  
 BibTeX example to work--here is the .tex file:

 \documentstyle{article}
 \begin{document}

 \bibliographystyle{prsty} % Choose Phys. Rev. stylle for bibliography

 \section{Introduction}
 The discovery of the Quantized Hall Effect was made by
 Klitzing~\cite{klitzing:qhe} for which he was awarded the 1985 Nobel
 prize for physics~\cite{klitzing:nobel}.
 \bibliography{qhe}% qhe.bib is the name of our database

 \end{document}

 Here is the BibTeX file which I imported into BibDesk. When I try  
 to generate the BibTex file, the console says I couldn't open file  
 name `ghe.aux.

 STRING(PRL=Phys. Rev. Lett.)
 @STRING(RMP=Rev. Mod. Phys.)

 @ARTICLE{klitzing:qhe,

It would be helpful to put a cap on the number of records to put

You should not have to force quit.  Thumbnails should only be rendered if 
they're visible, or will become visible as you scroll, so there's already an 
implicit cap.  Having said that, I made some significant performance 
improvements in it this morning.  The web thumbnails were using a lot of 
memory, and loads weren't being canceled correctly.  If you can reproduce a 
problem in the next nightly, sample it and let me know.

Okay, don't bother sending samples; I can reproduce the problem.  It's mainly 
due to a major inefficiency in the way the document returns URLs, and just 
happens to be more noticeable with the web thumbnails.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] http: URL thumbnails

2008-01-02 Thread Adam R. Maxwell
Those of you who had performance problems with the web thumbnails,  
please give the next build (compiling now) a try.  I think we've  
addressed those, but keep an eye out for incorrect drawing.
