You probably want to use the "parse format" command. Or perhaps the "autofile" command. However what you want can be done much more efficiently using the Auto File menu item. >> The second question is one about the built in function that renames >> documents.

A major difference is that mac/finder uses the colon as path separator, and unix/posix uses a slash. A (unix/ posix) path can contain a colon, it's just that when it's translated to a mac/finder style path the colon is replaced by a slash in order to not confuse the path separator. Similarly, a slash in the mac/ finder style path is replaced by a colon in the unix/posix style path. So it's really a 1-to-1 mapping. As a result, the slash won't mess things up. The point is that you can't use a slash in the UNIX path, but the slash you see in the FINDER does not appear in the UNIX path. So I'm pretty sure that nothing is messed up for you.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Harvard Style Thesis
Not really a comment about BibDesk, but ... If you're using a recent version of TeXShop, then the menu item Help : Show Help for Package... brings up a dialog. Type in 'harvard' (all lower case, no quotes) and darn if the documentation doesn't popup for you.

Ok, the colon slash thing is very confusing. It stays a colon, but Mac OS X displays that as a slash. It's a hangover from pre-X Mac OS. This is the behavior in finder too, so the feeling of the project was to leave it the way it is.

[Bibdesk-users] Script ids and PDF renaming
I have two questions that I can't seem to find the answer to. First, I want to write a script to rename all of my attached PDFs to a specified format. I can't seem to find any documentation on the correct applescript identifiers to call and rename attached files. The second question is one about the built in function that renames documents. The issue is that whenever there is colon in my article Title, it converts it to a slash which messes things up with the paths. Is there any advice on this?
