You don't have to do that, just copy the files to your local texmf tree. Below is a quote from a posting I wrote to the MacTeX list some months ago, which should help. I removed the files again after the fix appeared inside TexLiveUtility, so you should be able to remove them as well after TeXLive 2009 is released. hth best regards Matthias --snip like probably most of us, I sometimes have to generate Word versions of my papers. I usually use tex4ht/htlatex for that. Now I tried the first time after I switched to biblatex and found that I ended up with zillions of error messages. I found out however that the problems were caused by some incompatibility between tex4ht and biblatex and have been fixed in the latest release of tex4ht. Updating to the latest release was not so easy however: I first tried to update tex4ht via TexLiveUtility, but there I found only some binary packages in the "Manage Packages" section. Therefore I tried to update manually: When I downloaded the latest version of tex4ht from http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~gurari/TeX4ht/bugfixes.html I saw that the binaries were unchanged compared to the MacTeX-2008 distribution but some of the files which go to the texmf tree were updated. I copied the files from the texmf directory of the tex4ht distribution to my local texmf tree which fixed the problems with biblatex. -- Matthias Damm -- m...@macpla.net -- Jetzt neu: http://www.macpla.net GPG key: http://macpla.net/MatthiasDamm.asc GPG fingerprint: CED3 6074 7F7D 3148 C6F3 DFF2 05FF 3A0B 0D12 4D41 Stoppt die Vorratsdatenspeicherung! - http://www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/ -- Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!

If you have web or ftp space that you > would be willing to use for this purpose, please let us know. Let me add some details: The nightlies do not generate too much traffic. In most months the traffic was below 2 or 3 GB/month, with a peak of 7 GB in one month last year. I had reserved 350 MB of webspace, 200 or 250 should be enough as well however. Basically, what is provided with most web hosting plans should be more than enough to meet these requirements. The reason to cancel my offer simply is that I want switch to another provider who unfortunately does not allow to set up more than one FTP login, and I don't think it is a good idea to share my master login with the person(s) who upload nightly builds. So if anybody has a hosting plan with some space and traffic he does not use, and has the possibility to set up a reserved area with a specific FTP login, this is what we are looking for ;-) Best regards, Matthias -- Matthias Damm -- m...@macpla.net -- Jetzt neu: http://www.macpla.net GPG key: http://macpla.net/MatthiasDamm.asc GPG fingerprint: CED3 6074 7F7D 3148 C6F3 DFF2 05FF 3A0B 0D12 4D41 Stoppt die Vorratsdatenspeicherung! - http://www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/ -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword ___ Bibdesk-users mailing list Bibdesk-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users

Hmm, you might want to consider using vi as editor :-) Seriously: If you find pressing several buttons too inconvenient, you can create a TeXShop "engine" file, that's a script which does several tasks automatically. See the archive of the MacTeX list for information about that and probably also TeXShop's documentation. >> Of course you will have to run BibTeX each time you > add new >> references, and you might have to run pdflatex > several times to see >> the changes in your document. > > Yes, it is exactly what I do.

I don't really understand what you are doing. Are you running pdflatex and bibtex from the terminal? That's not necessary -- if you are using TeXShop, you can just start those programs with the buttons TeXShop provides. Of course you will have to run BibTeX each time you add new references, and you might have to run pdflatex several times to see the changes in your document. If that does not work, you should create a complete minimal example and post it here (or even better: on the MacTeX list), so that your problem can be reproduced!

I have been trying out the Web Groups feature lately, and I find it absolutely amazing. However I think it does not work properly sometimes: The problem I have seen is that sometimes the list of the "Import" links is not updated properly. When this happens, the list stays as it is even if I switch to the next page of Google Scholar results, do another search or open another page. Only restarting BibDesk makes the search useable again. This does not happen always, sometimes everything works as expected. This might not be a very helpful error description, but I don't know what other info I could give? (I'm running 10.5.1 on an Intel Macbook, problem exists with the latest stable release and with the latest nightly.) I also have a couple of feature requests: - It was great if you could save a web group with a fixed start page, for example a web group that always starts with Google Scholar. Some options on what happens after an item is imported could also be a nice improvement: - It was nice if the item was opened after import, just like the option for items imported via dragging. - It was also helpful if there was an option to automatically re- generate the cite key for imported items. - Perhaps it could also be useful if a list of fields could be specified that should never be imported. Nevertheless the web import is one of the greatest improvements to BibDesk ever. Thanks a lot!
