[Bibdesk-users] window size on multiple computers
Hi This is a minor annoyance. I have a BibDesk bibliography that I frequently open on a 20 iMac and a MacBook. When I've had it open with the window maximized on the iMac then open it on the MacBook the window extends past the edge of the screen. When I've had it open with the window maximized on the MacBook then open it on the iMac, the window only opens to the size of the MacBook screen. It seems from this behavior that the absolute window size is being saved in the document. Would it be possible to change it to save the relative window size instead, so a maximized window would be maximized to whatever the screen size is? thanks Derick - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[Bibdesk-users] file view ideas
I've been playing with some changes to BibDesk for my own use. If anyone's interested, take a look at http://homepage.mac.com/amaxwell/.Public/BibDesk.app.zip (10.5 required). This answers a few past suggestions to some extent: 1) the file view on the right scales icons to fit a single column 2) you can display files in the bottom pane 3) you can quickly toggle the main preview pane It's based on 1.3.14, not BibDesk's current source. Numerous features have been removed; comments on that will be ignored. There are likely some bugs in it. The file view internals have been pretty extensively rewritten, and I haven't tested performance on a single core system. If it's significantly slower, let me know. Remote URL handling has changed as well (in fileview context menu). -- adam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Looks like this is only for the publications table; individual publication windows don't seem to do this yet. Yup. I think it makes less sense in editor windows. Editor windows are small, so there it's mainly useful as a drop target or quick look target. (As you probably already know, there's still a slider at the bottom of the side pane that no longer operates. It does operate...it just resizes the icons in the preview pane, not the side pane, so it's misplaced. I have some ideas on improving that in general so any fileview has a slider. 2) you can display files in the bottom pane Looks nice. I tend not to use the side pane, but that might be useful. (This would be a good view option for the publication windows as well.) Interesting...how so for pub windows? 3) you can quickly toggle the main preview pane I like the toggle between preview and files. Having a menu down there for which preview view to use would make this even better. In this version, it's either textview or fileview, and I haven't finished lobotomizing things yet :). I just threw this out there because it answers a couple of things people have asked about, and sometimes it's helpful to see ideas in a functional demo. -- adam - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I also like the quick swap of the views in preview, and toggling between several preview templates would be an additional advantage. This may make it unnecessary to show both the bottom preview and the side view, though having both options is nice. The one other feature I'd be interested in is for both the bottom pane and the right side pane to have essentially identical view options except that one has a horizontal orientation and one is vertical.
