This is great! Thank you.

I’ve been going over the help manual and was just looking for the plugin but 
wasn’t finding anything about the F5 option.
I kept trying opt-esc but it wasn’t working, F5 does though.
Any idea how I can get opt-esc to work?

FWIW, if it was compiled/linked with a newer version of Xcode than previous 
releases, that might have enabled some new “features" by default. They can 
probably be unchecked in the nib inspector, but I haven’t looked.

Oh, I misunderstood (I also didn’t get Justin’s original email). Yeah, that

who pays for an Apple developer cert. For self-signed certificates, there’s an

That is the correct way to do it, and IME you have to do it each time you 
install a new version, even if it uses the same certificate (my opinion of 
Apple’s security theatrics is unprintable).

That would only happen if you added them with a text editor. Anyway, I’m

Absolute vs. relative path resolution that you’re talking about is a separate

Just spitballing, but the only safe way I see to make it an actual pref is by 
adding a new field type (like Bdsk-Path-n) and doing a conversion process when 
opening and saving.

You’re not forced to use the Bdsk fields. If you make the choice to put local 
file locations (whether path or alias-based) in a shared bibtex database, 
there’s obviously a cost associated with that. Our model was that BibDesk owns 
the database, and you own the files and can move/rename them manually (unlike 
iTunes or iPhoto, which owns both).

Okay. Editing existing entries would be confusing in diffs. Adding shouldn't 
be, since BibDesk always adds in the same location (head of the file, IIRC).

Just use the Local-Url field, then, as Christiaan suggested. I think you lose 
autofile support and the file panes (and renaming/moving in Finder will break 
your links), but you won’t see the diffs. This basically gives you BibDesk as 
it was ~8 years ago.

It’s shocking that when you save a file, all necessary information is updated? 
Your real objection here seems to stem from your notion that BibDesk is a text 
editor, and you think you know what bytes it’s changing. This is not really the 
case.

No, they’re not, which is why they’re recreated; they’re partially correct, 
which means they’re partially broken.

What does this mean? Your bibliography file size is not growing at an explosive 
rate due to these changes. Do you spend a lot of time looking at diffs of it? 
Is Git really inefficient at storage?

If you use MacTeX 2015, there’s a different symlink. See

Yes, many reasons :). Without log info or any specific

Not sure about HTML specifically, but if you check "Only export selected items"

You could use a .bst that doesn't print the fields you don't want (or duplicate 
natdin.bst to mynatdin.bst and modify it). That's the correct way to solve the 
problem, in my opinion, but hacking .bst files isn't for everyone.

A more clumsy workaround is to export as "Minimal BibTeX" from BibDesk.

http://bibdesk-users.661331.n2.nabble.com/using-export-templates-for-bibtex-td5463075.html

I guess this uses templates now, so you can modify it to add other fields, too. 
It used to be just the required & optional fields as defined in btxdoc, IIRC.

The linked files are stored as aliases in Bdsk-File-n fields:

The same script would also work if you have BD set to open a particular .bib

Did it work before you modified it? You can expect things to be broken on

The wording is not really correct here, I think. It is not fully rebuilt, only

Looks like the documentation (or at least that snapshot of it) is based on the

Sorry about that; I must have some template change that makes it work. Try 
adding

\usepackage{lmodern}

in the preview template. It's also worked for me with XeTeX, but that's a bit

You can now copy formatted text from the PDF preview panel just by selecting

Here's how I found it:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bibdesk+crossref+booktitle

…but I knew what to search for :). 

There's some useful discussion of the whys and wherefores of this in the 
macosx-tex archives, but the sourceforge search display is kind of lame.

http://sourceforge.net/p/bibdesk/mailman/search/?q=crossref+booktitle&mail_list=bibdesk-users

To search a BibDesk mailing list, use the "Mailing Lists" link on the project 
page. Sorting is goofy, and nested thread display is horribly broken when you 
have multiple levels of quoting. I've no idea why they don't just let google 
index it.

You need to set a preference to duplicate the "Title" field to "Booktitle" for 
some collection types. There's discussion of this in the help and archives.

Yes, but you don't have to add it in Preferences just to show a column. You can 
type anything in the control that you showed in your screenshot; you're not 
limited to the drop-down menu choices.

In general, there's no need to add it; BibDesk will allow any field you care to 
name, so in that sense, it "knows" about all fields The type of mapping you're 
thinking of matters more in the case of RIS, where we translate some 
non-standard fields to the nearest BibTeX equivalent.

Adding to the list of default fields in Preferences is mainly useful in two 
cases:

1) you want that field to be added to a type (or all types) by default, in 
which case it will show up in the editor window

2) the field is not a string, and you want to treat it specially (as a person 
name or URL, for example, which are displayed differently from a simple string)

Same thing I posted a few days ago. We need to see the log from the TeX Preview

You can set up the TeX preview to use xetex, which would allow use of any font 
on your system. Replace /usr/texbin/pdflatex in "full path to pdflatex" with 
/usr/texbin/xelatex and edit your TeX template to look something like this

\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\usepackage{fontspec}

In the past, we dropped support when new features are added and it became too 
burdensome to maintain legacy code paths (remember the pre-10.2 searchfield, 
anyone?), or when Apple simply drops support in Xcode, as for PowerPC. My 
impression is that BibDesk isn't adopting much (if any) 10.7/10.8 code, so the 
main headache is in keeping it compatible with the latest Xcode.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Release

Was wondering that myself; I did the last one, IIRC. Not sure if Goldstein 
wants to keep doing them.

I'm willing to do releases, but I don't have a good feel for when they should 
be done anymore (what's been added, how long it's been tested, etc). If a bunch 
of new stuff has landed, maybe you could let -users know what to test in 
nightly builds? Or just say to look at release notes? I'd take that as a signal 
that it's time for a release.

Off the top of my head, here are two reasons:

1) The editor window is where you modify an item.

2) Suppose you have multiple items in the main window
   selected. There's no visible mapping between URL and
   item (e.g., multiple items could have the same URL),
   so you wouldn't know which item was being modified.

Try adding curly braces around that {And}. That works here, but I think this 
might be a bug in the parser.

I don't recall what style supports the URL type; it's been in BibDesk a long 
time, but is not generally useful, and I don't recommend using it.  For citing 
a URL, take a look at the TeX FAQ:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=citeURL

The @misc technique is the simplest, unless you use urlbst (which BibDesk also 
supports, insofar as it has a webpage type).

Yes, it appears to be broken.  You can download the WSDL, so the server is 
still alive.

http://wok-ws.isiknowledge.com/esti/soap/SearchRetrieve?wsdl

There's apparently a newer version of their WS interface, but I don't have time 
to investigate it right now:

http://search.isiknowledge.com/esti/cxf-wsclient-demo/docs/soap/index.html

It uses separate authentication and searching, from what I can tell at a quick 
glance, even for IP-based auth.  Maybe they've changed auth for the old 
service, too.

> Question 2: How about importing from Scopus?

I used Scopus several years ago, and adapted BibDesk's RIS parser to deal with 
their bastardized RIS.  That should still work, but I no longer have access to 
Scopus.

If you're asking about a search group for it in BibDesk, that would require a 
suitable API from Scopus, and someone with access to write the code and test 
it.  A web group might be more appropriate, but the same access caveat applies.

Xcode 4.2 running on 10.6 obviously supports 10.6, and Xcode 4.3? on 10.7 still 
includes the 10.6 SDK, I think.  I'm on 10.8 on my personal system, so I only 
have 10.7/10.8 SDK there, but they still claim 10.6 compatibility.

I can try this on 10.8.  I'm not sure if I kept a 10.7 partition around.  The 
main thing I worry about is the library version, as you say.  There are 
workarounds for that, but they're not fun.

I've got my own BibDesk tree building under Xcode 4 with 64 bit support, and it 
wasn't too bad.  The questionable parts are btparse and yaz.  I think yaz is 
okay, insofar as it compiles pretty cleanly under 64-bit, and isn't used that 
much.  I had to go through btparse more carefully and fix warnings there, and 
I'm still not sure it'll actually handle 64-bit data sizes.  With the way the 
parser is structured, that shouldn't really be a problem.

In my opinion, BibDesk needs to transition to Xcode 4 as soon as possible, if 
there's any hope of continuing development.  Requiring compilation with tools 
that can't be installed on the last two major OS releases is going to cause 
trouble down the road.

Compiling with Xcode 4 & 10.7 or 10.8 SDK doesn't necessarily mean that 10.6 
support will be dropped, but it does require dropping 10.5 support.  It's not 
as if older versions of BibDesk would suddenly stop working on 10.5, anyway…or 
even 10.6.

But you just said it had to be synchronous :).  Anyway, PubMed lookup is also 
done synchronously, even though the regular PubMed search is asynchronous.  Of 
course, it would be better to have a timeout option for zoom, but that would 
require some changes to the framework.

Again, no harder than what's done for PubMed; it would just be a canned search 
config, like the PubMed one, and targeted very specifically to only return a 
single match.

If there were multiple sources for something like this, I envision a UI with a 
list of checkboxes for sources to be tried in order for DOI lookup.  Each would 
be a predefined search based on DOI or similar unique identifier.  If WoS 
supported DOI query, I'd have done this for myself months ago.

I believe -[ZOOMConnection resultsForQuery:] is synchronous, so that shouldn't 
be a problem.  It looks like the ADS z39.50 group no longer works, though, so 
that isn't an option.

Based on the code, I think it looks up the DOI if it finds one in the dropped 
file.  The major limitation is that it only searches PubMed, so many of us 
don't find it useful.  I tried to get DOI search to work with Web of Science, 
but you can't do a DOI search over the WoS web service interface.

They're stored in extended attributes of the .bib file.  If you're on
Mac OS, python includes an xattr module you can use to save and
restore them around your file modifications.

And you're right, this isn't recommended, though you can get away with
it for simple cases and well-formed .bib files.  AppleScript within
BibDesk is safer.

Yeah, no kidding; that spreadsheet is new, and more complicated than what I 
recall.  There's also a lot of code in BibDesk to deal with incorrect RIS from 
various sources, too; trying to massage each publisher's homegrown RIS into 
BibTeX is not trivial.

BibDesk expects SP and EP as start page and end page, respectively.  It used to 
accept PG, but it looks like that won't work anymore.  If you can do this

SP  - 2665
EP  - 2667

it ought to work.

No.  If you have a document open on computers A & B and modify it on B, BibDesk 
should tell you that it's modified externally if you subsequently try to save 
it on A.  That's all Apple gives for free.

FYI, BibDesk should read that tagged format natively, as Mark notes below.  I

You should see it in search results with the next nightly build, or you can 
build it yourself right now if you're really anxious.

It turns out that this is an additional field that has to be requested when 
getting search results from the web service.  I've used 
"Iso-Source-Abbreviation" as the field name, since that's what you mentioned.

In general, the philosophy BibDesk follows is to add the most complete data as 
primary, and others as secondary (mainly for author and journal names).  I 
suspect you could easily write a script hook that would do the field swap for 
you.

The BibTeX way would be to use an abbreviation/macro, and have separate macro 
values that you can use on a per-document basis.  This is tedious to set up for 
an existing database.

It works fine with IP-based authentication, but not all institutions use that.  
There have been discussions on the list about this problem for several years,

Is it still accessible via Edit->Copy As and context menu, too?  

Chances are pretty good that Justin hit an encoding problem; if so, it's likely 
fixed in the latest latex2rtf sources.  I have an Xcode project for the latest 
latex2rtf at home, if there's interest in updating it.  Some files have been 
added and removed in the 4 years since I last imported it to BibDesk :).

As an aside, if you use latex2rtf, you need to use the code that's in 
subversion!  It's under pretty steady development, but releases are few and far 
between.  As long as you use one of the packages it emulates, it works quite 
well.

I recommend removing it.  The original reason for it was to provide a properly 
formatted reference that you could copy, back when when Apple didn't allow 
copying text from PDF (OS X 10.2/10.3).  It's a pretty ancient latex2rtf if I 
was the last one to update it...

Does anyone still use this feature?  It does some things better than copying

Sounds like one of the tex/bibtex runs returned a nonzero exit status, but 
"worked" anyway (BibDesk uses -interaction=batchmode).  If you cmd-click on the

If the warning only shows up in one TeX preview pane, then I've no idea; that

Okay, you're not using BibDesk or my plugin at all, which is just as well since

Sounds like a bug in Finder.  Applications do nothing to declare

As of 10.5, Apple checks anyway at save time, though maybe it doesn't play well 
with Dropbox.  Look for "NSDocument Checking for Modified Files At Saving Time" 
at

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/Cocoa/AppKitOlderNotes.html%23X10_5Notes

Of course, that's right below the discussion of how they improved safe saving, 
which turned out to actually break saving entirely for BibDesk on AFP volumes.  
I filed a bug on that on 9 Jan 2008 and it's still open.

AFAICT Dropbox doesn't give you programmatic notice of file changes, so
BibDesk would have to poll for it.  This is doable, but it's not a good
practice in general.  It's a shame they can't just post a distributed
notification, at least.

The difference is that you're never going to get iCloud support, proper
or otherwise, unless Apple changes their policies.  Dropbox support
might be more feasible.

Quit BibDesk.  In Terminal, run this:

xattr -d net.sourceforge.bibdesk.BDSKDocumentWindowAttributes yourfile.bib

where yourfile.bib is the full path to your file (you can drop it on the 
Terminal window to get that).

Try opening the file again in BibDesk and let us know the result.  A screenshot

Just to reinforce what Christiaan wrote:  the extended attribute that BibDesk 
uses is quite fragile, since not all APIs read or write it, and I think you can 
easily end up with a stale value of it (not from BibDesk, but from a text 
editor or some other process, like iconv).  

Exactly the same problem applies to the encoding-as-comment line, and if 
BibDesk supported one, it would be more useful to accept multiple styles as 
Python does:

# -*- coding: latin-1 -*-
# vim: set fileencoding=latin-1
# encoding: utf-8

I'm still against it because of the potential for data loss; encoding 
corruption in my bib file is actually the reason I started contributing to 
BibDesk back in 2003 or so.  It's much better to have the onus on the user to 
determine encoding, so BibDesk doesn't get blamed for destroying files.

It also works in DataTank from , of which I am a

redo brings it back.  Once you get used to that, it's really hard to deal with 
more limited undo implementations.

Then I strongly suggest that you need to fix your php script so that

You could postprocess it, as Andreas suggested, and maybe BibTool
would even format it as you want.  However, keep in mind
that both forms are equally valid BibTeX, as is this contrived
example:

@article ( citekey , author = "Ann Author",
title = {Mixing quotes is bad},
year = 2011,
date = "17~" # jun,
keywords = "BibTeX syntax is b{\"a}d"
)

Note the additional whitespace, use of parens instead of curly
braces, and mixed quote styles :).  Writing your own ad-hoc
parser is an exercise in frustrations (BTDTBTT).  If your
script uses Perl, I think you can use Text::BibTeX to get the
same parser that BibDesk uses.

I'm not sure what you mean, then.  The thread it runs on doesn't matter, though 
it runs on a secondary thread precisely because the search will block the 
calling thread (main or otherwise).  This should be consistent with the PubMed 
usage in BibItem_PubMedLookup.

If I were designing the search groups today, I'd take a significantly different 
approach to the async problem, but that's not terribly relevant.  I did this in 
my testing version of BD for BDSKPreviewer, eliminating all the crazy DO and 
locking.

Should just be the selected item(s).  Beware that if you did a copy-paste from

In that case, you need to set up BibDesk's TeX preview preferences to use UTF-8 
and XeLaTeX, then edit the TeX template as needed if you want it to use 
biblatex.

You should have the same error for the TeX Preview, right?  You can either

I recently needed to add clipboard support for URLs in TeX Live Utility, and

Old-school bibtex users remove the @ from an entry to comment it out, but 
btparse calls that "JUNK" in its lexer, and you get a log message about "foo 
characters of junk seen at toplevel" or something.  Lines starting with % are 
considered comments by btparse, and it doesn't log them (which is why Mike used 
% in BibDesk's file header template).

I suspect no one on the list really cares about these arcane aspects of parsing 
BibTeX databases, but the point is that there are some subtleties that can end

after you save it in BibDesk).

The biblatex manual says that "annotation" is a standard field, and that 
"annote" is an alias of "annotation" for jurabib compatibility.  How obvious.

If you want to keep the annote field as a non-printing field, you could set the 
hidden preference BDSKAnnoteFieldName to force BibDesk to use a different name 
(that's an old JabRef compatibility setting).  You'd then have to rename all of 
your annote fields in a text editor (find & replace "Annote = {" with 
"My-Annote = {" or something).

The bst language is documented in btxhax.pdf and btxbst.doc.  Granted, it's 
shorter than the 215 pages of biblatex.pdf, but that's not necessarily bad...

I guess that depends on your idea of "average" LaTeX skills; I've written and 
modified document classes, so I'm not an absolute newbie, but the apa.bbx file 
I looked at is less comprehensible to me than a .bst file.  I can believe that 
biblatex makes more things possible, but I think the argument that it's simpler 
or easier is completely misguided.

True!  Of course, if you're saving in ASCII without that, you might as well

The tack I've taken is to save in UTF-8 with TeX conversion enabled, which 
gives broadest compatibility with TeX, but doesn't give me warnings on oddball 
characters in annote/abstract fields that can't be converted.  Of course, I'll 
have problems in TeX if someone ever uses one of those in a title field, but 
cleaning annote/abstract is too tedious.  YMMV.

Since non-ASCII characters are perfectly valid in BibTeX, there's no way to 
warn of them in advance; there's no problem until you try to save them to disk 
in some encoding that only supports a limited character set.  Even then, the 
character conversion mechanism should make that a rarity.  What characters are 
causing you problems?

Has this been rewritten?  The alert I'm thinking of used to give the citekey of 
the offending item.  Since you mention a log, I could be off base.  Regardless, 
though, the problem can't be detected until you try to save data in a specific 
encoding.

Great job on the sample.  The delayed perform in BDSKMainTableView.m
is causing the type-select search cache to be recreated, presumably
every time -reloadData is called during the drag.  This turns out to
be really slow because of date parsing, so a temporary fix might be
to disable any dates you're displaying in the main table and see if
it's any faster.

Sounds like it's probably not related to the file previews or presence of
linked files, then.  A hang that long should have a nice sample.

Here's an example, with terminal commands on the line beginning with $.

$ sample BibDesk 10
Sampling process 92972 for 10 seconds with 1 millisecond of run time between 
samples
Sampling completed, processing symbols...
Sample analysis of process 92972 written to file 
/tmp/BibDesk_92972.mPafOn.sample.txt

$ open -a TextEdit /tmp/BibDesk_92972.mPafOn.sample.txt

This last command opens the sample file in TextEdit (copied from the last line 
output by the sample command).  From TextEdit, copy-and-paste it into an e-mail 
to the list.

If you have 7 GB free while running, that's certainly not an issue.

Possible, but not probable.  That can be resource-intensive, but it only
occurs for /selected/ items whose icons are currently visible.  We spent a
lot of time making sure that wouldn't affect usability.

The previous poster indicated that dragging something (possibly a file) to the 
main publication list was slow.  It sounds like you may experience something 
different, but in both cases, what is needed is the following:

1) exact steps to reproduce (if dragging something, what do you drag and where 
do you drop it?)

2) a sample taken during the slow operation, either using Activity Monitor or 
Terminal

To take a sample in Terminal, you use something like `sample BibDesk 20` to get 
a 20 second sample, then immediately reproduce the slow problem.  If you need a 
few second delay, use `sleep 3; sample BibDesk 20` or similar.

The closest you can get is with field groups, I believe:

http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/manual/BibDesk%20Help_33.html

See the note at the bottom re: editing.  You need to be aware that not all the 
authors it puts under a given name will necessarily have exactly the same name, 
since it uses some fuzzy matching.

I think you'll also have to do author/editor/translator fields separately, 
whereas they're lumped into the author list in the editor window.

[Bibdesk-users] review of Papers 2

[Maxwell, Adam R]

A mildly interesting review of the new Papers version is at

http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/05/papers-2-your-new-best-os-x-research-management-app.ars

It still bugs me that BibDesk is totally ignored by the reviewer; I suspect 
this is mainly due to his Word-only focus.  Some of the comments make this more 
clear.

More interesting is that Papers and Mendeley are both using CSL for formatting.

FWIW, I don't think it can be removed, now that it's there (this is the

Terminal-only setting, but it'd still keep working for you in that

I do very little BibDesk development lately, so I'm not going to be
removing it.  If it does get removed, you're the one rocking the boat
by replying to a 2 year old thread…

There are multiple reasons to adhere to the principle I mentioned [1]

from my reply.  You may think that you are the "ordinary" or "normal"
user, but you are not.

Perhaps.  I'd rather argue that you have no idea what "normal" or
"ordinary" users do (or may do in future), so let's dispense with this
"purist developer" vs. "ordinary user" crap.

Replace "the most frequently used file format" with "the file format
/I/ most frequently use today" and you can certainly claim this is
pragmatic :).  Making a spaghetti of little preferences to satisfy all
users leads to software that is ugly, unmaintainable, and hard to use.
Look at any once-great word processor that went down this path…

Cool.  One thing I've noticed is that downloading one of the remote PDF links

has it.  Double-clicking the PDF icons to open in a browser will work.
