[Bibdesk-users] Length of acronym when generating a citekey
Dear Christiaan and The BibDesk Community,
I would like to make a citekey generator format that for the following entry:
@article{xxx,
author = {Slaughter, Andrew J and Koehly, Laura M},
journal = {Social networks},
pages = {334--345},
title = {Multilevel models for social networks: Hierarchical Bayesian
approaches to exponential random graph modeling},
volume = {44},
year = {2016}}
yields Slaughter2016mms. That is, First Author + Year + 3 First Letters of the
Acronym.
I have tried %p1%Y%c{Title}3, and BibDesk does accept 3 as a parameter for %c,
but that has no effect. Why does acronym take a number parameter, and what can
it mean, other than the number of letters (number of words doesn't make any
sense for an acronym that is by default one word only).
Also, is there any way to transform acronyms into lower case?
Thanks!
Mahmood

Yes, I just noticed after your email. Great addition!

Hi Luc,
I agree it would be great if BibDesk could at least give us the option.
BibDesk already has an Orphaned Files feature that you can use periodically to
remove the files you don't need anymore from your attachments directory.
Otherwise, I use the following script with the Remove File hook to do just what
you desire:
using terms from application "BibDesk"
on perform BibDesk action with publications thePubs for script hook
theScriptHook
tell application "BibDesk"
set theField to get field name of theScriptHook
set oldValues to get old values of theScriptHook
if theField = "Local File" then
repeat with theFile in oldValues
set theAlertText to "File association removed."
set theAlertMessage to "You are detaching the file \"" &
theFile & "\" from the corresponding publication. Would you like to delete the
file from the file system as well?"
set result to display alert theAlertText message
theAlertMessage as critical buttons {"Keep", "Remove"} default button "Remove"
cancel button "Keep"
if button returned of result = "Remove" then
tell application "Finder" to delete theFile as POSIX
file
end if
end repeat
end if
end tell
end perform BibDesk action with publications
end using terms from
Hope this helps,
Mahmood

Re: [Bibdesk-users] JXA ScriptHook
That sample script has a problem in the for loop, as well as in fetching the
property value. That still doesn't work for me.
But this one works:
function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(thePubs, {forScriptHook :
theScriptHook }) {
var theName = theScriptHook.name();
var theID = theScriptHook.id();
var theField = theScriptHook.fieldName();
var oldValues = theScriptHook.oldValues();
var newValues = theScriptHook.newValues();
var theKeys = [];
var theTitles = [];
for (var i=0, aPub; aPub=thePubs[i]; i++) {
theKeys.push(aPub.citeKey());
theTitles.push(aPub.fields.byName("Author").value());
}
var app = Application.currentApplication();
app.includeStandardAdditions = true;
app.displayDialog("Name: " + theName + "\n" + "ID: " + theID + "\n" + "Cite
Keys: " + theKeys + "\n" + "Titles: " + theTitles + "\n" + "Field name: " +
theField + "\n" + "Old values: " + oldValues + "\n" + "New values: " +
newValues, { buttons :["OK"], defaultButton : 1 });
}
Best,
Mah

I haven’t tried using JXA script hooks, but I think they should work. Though it
could be JXA hangs BibDesk, because of bugs with JXA (that Apple says aren’t
bugs but just how it works), that will be fixed in the next release.
I am not an expert on JS, but shouldn’t it be:
function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(pubs, {forScriptHook:scriptHook})
{
}
Christiaan
Here is the JXA version for the sample script hook:
function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(thePubs, { forScriptHook :
theScriptHook }) {
var theName = theScriptHook.name();
var theID = theScriptHook.id<http://thescripthook.id/>();
var theField = theScriptHook.fieldName();
var oldValues = theScriptHook.oldValues();
var newValues = theScriptHook.newValues();
var theKeys = [];
for (var aPub in thePubs) {
theKeys.push(aPub.citeKey);
}
var app = Application.currentApplication();
app.includeStandardAdditions = true;
app.displayDialog("Name: " + theName + "\n" + "ID: " + theID + "\n" + "Cite
Keys: " + theKeys + "\n" + "Field name: " + theField + "\n" + "Old values: " +
oldValues + "\n" + "New values: " + newValues, { buttons : ["OK"],
defaultButton : 1 });
}
It works for me, at least with the current nightly.

I’ve added some sample JXA script hooks on the Wiki.

It definitely doesn't work here (1.6.22 (4794)).
Where can I get the nightly?
