Oh, I may have misunderstood (because you were talking about “session”). You 
are talking about grouping within a single database?

I don’t think it is very useful (or worth it) to have an import group for all 
imported items in a session. It is probably more useful to use a smart group 
based on ~Date-Added, for instance containing all items added in the last day.

Martin: The way I would achieve your goal (although I may be describing the 
obvious) is:

Sort the main publication table by date-added.
Select recently added publications that I want to review.
Drag the selected publications to an empty static group.
Sort the publication table in the static group by any desired field and review 
the publications.

If it is important to me to restrict the groups table to show only data about a 
selection of publications (and not about all publications in my main database), 
then I open a separate BibDesk database with the desired groups already 
configured but empty of publications, and I drag the selected publications to 
the separate database temporarily where I can visually analyze the groups 
table. (But I do not drag publications back and forth between databases, 
because this changes the date-added field, which I want to keep intact; I treat 
the separate database as a temporary "read-only" view that is destroyed after 
use.)

No, this only contains items for the database where it belongs to. We do not 
maintain a database containing all items for all open documents.

[Bibdesk-users] Imports

2023-09-11 Thread Martin Gillis 
Hi Folks,

Wondering if there is a way to have the "Last Import" group maintain a list of 
imports for the current open session for BibDesk. The general idea is that I 
would like to imports article and the review them as a list. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,

-Martin
