You can easily find the items you added from the web group in the Last Import group. - It was also helpful if there was an option to automatically re- generate the cite key for imported items.

Otherwise you can go to Last Import and use the menu item in the Publication menu. - Perhaps it could also be useful if a list of fields could be specified that should never be imported.

I'm just poking through the list for the first time in a while and when I saw this I thought it might be interesting to note that at least in terms of the web group features, I've been wanting to do this feature for years, started writing some of the code for it in November 2006, and first tossed it into the main BibDesk code in January this year.

I read that there is a QuickLook plugin for BibDesk, but I don't know what it does. snip I can answer this one, so here goes: The .bib file looks good in Quicklook because you get syntax coloring in the preview; but the really useful thing is to be able to see each record. The easiest way to do this is to do a finder search for something that you know you have a record for, and then when it comes up as a search result, choose Quicklook at the method of viewing the results, and you'll get a little note card with some basic bib info on it. If you download the latest release of BD, you should have the Quicklook plugin already installed. If you already installed it yourself, you have to remove it; Adam M. already gave instructions for this a few days ago on the list, and I forget how to do it, but it does work, and you have to go back and look there to see what to do. -Adam G. = Adam M.

The records I've seen from Google Scholar are a mix of title case, sentence case, and all caps. That's been my experience too. Capitalization in Google Scholar currently seems too random overall to rely on it. Letting BibTeX take care of the capitalization is definitely better at this point. I typically go through my references just before publishing papers to fix capitalization for names and such. For example: Stochastic relaxation, {G}ibbs distributions and the {B}ayesian restoration of images. The .bst file will not do that for you. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] How to use Web Groups (Google Scholar)?
Hendrik, try this: In the web group page view: 1. Go to scholar.google.com 2. Click Scholar preferences 3. Set Interface language to English 4. Set Bibliography Manager to Show links to import citations into BibTeX (choose BibTeX from the popup menu) If you do a scholar search from the web group interface after those changes have been made, the results should show up as importable items in the pane below.

Again I could not get anything to show up below. Am I missing a button somewhere that I need to click? I tried drag and dropping links into the pane below. I followed the BibTex links in the Google Scholar results. Nothing. The panes remain empty. I looked in the BibDesk help pages but saw no mention of the Web Group feature. Checked the Wiki and asked Google but found no instructions anywhere on how to use this thing. Please someone enlighten me. I sounds like an incredibly useful feature. How do I use it?

But then after switching to another group and coming back to the web group it stopped working again. Only quitting and restarting seemed to help. I guess it isn't all that stable yet? Another quirk (in this otherwise very useful feature): when I change the prefs to search only english or french documents, I get Unable to parse bibtex for all records. Lastly: is the UI for this meant to stay different from other searches or will these web scrapping searches be integrated along side others? It would seem more natural to me to access all these in a searches menu, with bookmarks common to all, even if the UI once the search is started is a bit different (three panes vs two panes). Thanks a lot for this great feature, google scholar search is awesome. JiHO --- http://jo.irisson.free.fr/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] How to use Web Groups (Google Scholar)?
I've also seen that. It seems they block you when you're doing too many searches under some conditions. I wonder what those conditions are, so we could correct it. Perhaps they require some kind of HTTP headers, like originating application info?

Re: [Bibdesk-users] How to use Web Groups (Google Scholar)?
This is fantastic. Two questions: 1) Once I have completed a Google Scholar search, I see items showing up in the BibDesk pane at the bottom. But when I click to the second page of the search results, the BibDesk list does not change. Is there something I have to do to get the second page's links to load? 2) Is there some way to save URLs, such as the Google Scholar URL?

Re: [Bibdesk-users] How to use Web Groups (Google Scholar)?
Another option to get this to work more consistently for users who haven't set their BibTeX preference in Google Scholar is to use the Related Links URL in each entry to craft a URL that leads to the BibTeX. For example, the related links for a piece might look like http://scholar.google.com/scholar?num=100hl=enlr=client=firefoxq=related:O1sOP5RcQI0J:scholar.google.com/ while the BibTeX link looks like this: http://scholar.google.com/scholar.bib?num=100hl=enlr=client=firefoxq=info:O1sOP5RcQI0J:scholar.google.com/output=citationoe=MACINTOSHoi=citation As for decreasing the number of requests: My guess is that the scraper currently depends upon the BibTeX links, and would have to be rewritten to scrape the HTML directly (which is also usually a bad idea, since the format is usually subject to change) -AHM On Nov 9, 2007, at 12:30 PM, Hendrik wrote: It could just be the fast sequence of requests for the BibTeX entries that triggers it. In which case it might make sense to change the scraper to only request the pages with the BibTeX upon request. That is, when the user clicks on items in the second pane.
