[Bibdesk-users] 1.9.3 not showing preview of selected items

[Trevor Jenkins]

When I select an item in my .bib files nothing shows in the preview window. TeX 
preview works but not bibdesk’s own preview.

[Bibdesk-users] Keywords borked in 1.9.1 (for large .bib files)?

[Trevor Jenkins]

Since the 1.9.1 update selecting keywords have stopped working for some .bib 
files.

I have a several different .bib files with 300+ publications each with keywords 
associated with them. For some there is only one keyword but others have four 
or more. However when I select keywords in BibDesk only a few, typically one, 
of the publications are displayed. There are no search criteria defined.

Keywords for smaller .bib files (around 60 publications) when selected display 
the correct number of publications.

Regards, Trevor.

Thanks for that tip. Worked wonderfully with a better BibDesk entry than

[Trevor Jenkins]

Downloaded the (auto-generated) citation from 
https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1003763 


The import into BibDesk was successful but the TeX Preview breaks with various 
error depending upon what fields are “adjusted”.

Oh 

I said I’d made a dumb mistake. You were right the preference setting was 
wrong. I am stupid. “For the want of a ‘la’ the preview was lost.”

Should have included some technical details.

First the errant system

MacBookPro with M1 processor running macOS 11.5 BigSur. Although the problem 
predated the update to 11.5 yesterday. 

MacTex 2021 downloaded and installed Tuesday 13 July 2021

BibDesk 1.8.3 (updated the version installed by MacTex)

The .bib file is on my Dropbox repository, which BibDesk opens without comment.

Second the functioning system.

Mac mini with Intel processor running macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra

MacTex 2020

BibDesk 1.8.2

The .bib file is local on the Mac mini. This is the source for the identical 
copy over on Dropbox


> Can you just run tex yourself?

Yes. Tex (specifically pidflatex) runs from the command line. Kicks off at 
least this bitches about the ^D.

> What file is null, what precisely does it say?

Here is the first log file (the one in which the article class cannot be found).

[Bibdesk-users] Made some dumb mistake

[Trevor Jenkins]

Installed BibDesk (and MacTex) onto a new MacBookPro with an M1 processor. 
Copied over a .bib file from my desktop Mac (Mac mini of ancient vintage). Open 
the old bib file on the MacBookPro, select an entry, then click TeX Preview. 
Get the dreaded red error message in the preview window. I checked the log 
display. First time the error said the TeX executable could not find the 
article class! For a reason I cannot now remember I changed the template to say 
a4paper instead of the letter. Still get the red message in the preview window 
but now the log entries are different. Complains about null files in var/folder 
directories.

Clearly I have done something really stupid but I cannot for the life of me 
think what it is. Freely admit to being stupid and an idiot. Anyone venture an 
answer as to what I have done wrong please.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Amazon equivalent of Google Scholar Feature

[Trevor Jenkins]

Thanks. That works. Bit kludgey but it’s okay. Won’t be replacing BibDesk 
anytime soon with Zotero; too many bizarre things in Zotero.

Tried Better BibTex too; because I added several of my Amazon targets to Zotero 
before installing the zot2Bib plugin. Won’t be using that either as its export 
to BibTeX format is pants. zot2Bib does a better job of splitting up Zotero 
entries.

[Bibdesk-users] Amazon equivalent of Google Scholar Feature

[Trevor Jenkins]

Is there an Amazon equivalent of the Google Scholar web site feature  which 
allows a user to import references into BibDesk? I have a number of pass orders 
and wishlisted books on Amazon (both .com and .co.uk) that I want to add to a 
.bib file but I baulk at the thought of going that by hand as over the years I 
have purchased hundreds of books from them — naughty me I admit.

I can search Amazon{.com|.co.uk} with BibDesk but can find no equivalent to 
Google Scholar’s “Import BibTex” or any other mechanism to import my past 
purchases.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Can't resize window width after maximise

[Trevor Jenkins]

Thanks. I will be changing the preference setting for double click to something 
less intrusive. My MagicMouse appears to do weird things when the batteries are 
at 50% to 75% preventing maximise window would be useful as I never want that 
to happen.

There is something very odd going on with BibDesk windows. If I create a new 
bibliography I cannot change the width! Mouse cursor on the left-hand edge 
displays as <- and not as <-> similarly on the right-hend edge it displays as 
-> and not <->. BibDesk is the ONLY program on my Mac that exhibits this 
behaviour.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Can't resize window width after maximise

[Trevor Jenkins]

I intended to single click on the window title to bring it to the front (it was 
partially occluded by a browser window). It came to the front but erratic 
behaviour from the mouse was interpreted as a double click and therefore a 
request to maximise the window. When this happens with other programs a 
deliberate double click on the window title restores BOTH height and width; 
this is standard window behaviour. However, the double click on the bibdesk 
window only restored the height. And no amount of mouse dragage whether window 
edge or corner changes the window width; this not standard window behaviour.

[Bibdesk-users] Can't resize window width after maximise

[Trevor Jenkins]

Erratic mouse behaviour on window title interpreted as request to maximise the 
window. Double clicking on title returned the window to its original height but 
the width remains at full screen. Any attempt to resize the window width does 
not work. Whether I try using the mouse on either the left or right side is 
ineffective as is trying to resize from a corner. Original size was my 
preferred setting; I want that back. How?
