[Bibdesk-users] Entering new information is slow
Hi all, BibDesk has become very slow for me when creating new records, with a long wait (some seconds with the spinning rainbow disk) before text appears after I aim the cursor at, say, the author line and start typing. After this delay, what I have typed appears character by character. On the other hand, BibDesk is not slow at creating a record when I copy and paste a BibTeX record from Google Scholar. Nor is it slow at finding existing records. I am familiar with the discussion of the same (?) phenomenon in February 2021, but it hasn’t helped me find a solution. The BibDesk file in which this is happening has 10k plus entries, many of them linked to a PDF. I have another BibDesk file with only 850 entries, and input behaviour here is normal, indicating that the slow input of the first file is indeed due to its size. I have monitored with Activity Monitor what happens when I am waiting during input. When the rainbow disk is spinning, BibDesk is using over 50% of CPU, so it is apparently doing something, but I don’t know what. When this is happening, no other app is using anything like the same amount of CPU, so external interference seems unlikely. Any advice would be gratefully received. I could split the 10k file into smaller files, but this would often be inconvenient to manage. I have used BibDesk for years, and it is part of my daily workflow, so this problem is a serious one for me.

[Bibdesk-users] Menu item
I have just upgraded OS X from Yosemite to El Capitan, and now find that the BibDesk menu item 'Reveal Linked Files in Finder’ no longer works. I make extensive use of it, and know that it worked fine immediately before the upgrade. Can this be rectified? Or might there be a work-around? I am using BibDesk 1.6.4. Any advice gratefully received. —Malcolm Ross _____ Malcolm Ross FAHA Emeritus Professor Department of Linguistics, School of Culture, History and Language, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, Coombs Building (Bldg No. 9), The Australian National University CANBERRA A.C.T. 2601, Australia malcolm.r...@anu.edu.au -- ___ Bibdesk-users mailing list Bibdesk-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users

Yes, I've doublechecked. It's installed via BibDesk preferences (and it works
with the Export menu item).

No, nothing. The \cite{…} elements in the TexTEdit file are replaced with
citations as they should be, but the script exits without writing a
bibliography list to disk, with no error message. This was why I used a
debugger.
Many thanks.

[Bibdesk-users] BibDesk template/AppleScript oddity
I have been trying to get Christian Hofman's ReplaceCite AppleScript working, in order to link BibDesk to TextEdit (or Nisus Writer). It works fine with the provided template APACitationTemplate, but fails with other templates, including one I have written myself. The odd thing is that the templates which cause ReplaceCite to fail work fine when one does a straightforward Export via the BibDesk menu. I have used a debugger to check where the error occurs when the script is run, and it is at the point where the script tells BibDesk to export the references (which it has found in the TextEdit file). This gives a BibDesk Error 6. Can anyone give me a clue as to what is going wrong here? I have been using BibDesk for years with LaTeX, so I am reasonably confident that my BibTeX library and the templates are OK. - Malcolm _ Emeritus Professor Malcolm Ross FAHA Linguistics, School of Culture, History and Language, College of Asia and the Pacific, Coombs Building (Bldg No. 9), The Australian National University CANBERRA A.C.T. 0200, Australia -- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.

[Bibdesk-users] Quick search
In each Bibdesk version since (I think) 1.3.14, I have encountered a problem. I have a database of around 4750 entries. When I used the Quick search panel in versions up to 1.13.12 (or 13 -- I'm not sure) had no difficulty: it responded quickly. In more recent versions, the spinning wheel appears, and spins and spins. As a result, I have gone back to using v. 1.3.12. If anyone can suggest why this may be happening in more recent versions, I would be very grateful. I am using a PowerBook 1 GHz G4 (i.e. pre-Intel) with 1 GB of RAM and OS 10.4.11. - Malcolm Ross _ Emeritus Professor Malcolm Ross Department of Linguistics Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies Building No. 9, The Australian National University CANBERRA A.C.T. 0200, Australia http://rspas.anu.edu.au/people/personal/rossm_ling.php http://rspas.anu.edu.au/linguistics/projects/biomdr.html ANU CRICOS Provider Number is 00120C - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
