Adam, I agree whole heartedly with your analysis of everyone creating their own standard! I have a suggestion which will solve this whole problem which came to mind after reading the recent comment about RSS feeds and script groups. Make a script group searchable, i.e. search groups request s

Even though I can understand both sides in this discussion I still think it can be expected by the average BD user to read the alert that is given at the first launch of BD after the update to the new attached files system and do the necessary steps to adjust his preferences accordingly. Re

Hi Christiaan, it's filed as Bug ID# 5712415. Sth. to add: in the context-menu in Finder there is "Skim (Standard)" and then below "Skim 1.0" mentioned so it does point to an older version accessible via backup. Nevertheless this is confusing. Greetings, Rolf Am 29.01.2008 um 15:03 schrie

Hi As an alternative to creating a script & script group in BD, you could set up a script in an RSS reader to create a new BD item. I have an Applescript which will create a new BibDesk item based (imperfectly, but a best guess) on an item in an RSS feed in NetNewsWire, available here: htt

Hi Christiaan, Skim is the default viewer for pdfs on my machine, and double-clicking opens the right one on my startup-disk. Note that this is not in any way critical, there is a workaround (showing pdf in finder, then opening with appropriate (different) viewer etc.) it just looks wrong.

Is Skim the default app for PDFs? If so, this is mostly a problem of Apple, because it chooses a random copy as the default (and that's the one we always include). E.g. if you just double-click in Finder, which one will it choose? On my computer it consistently chooses the wrong copy. I fil

You can add a script group with a script that reads RSS feeds. Adam has made a script to read pubmed, which is available at . The problem with adding a generic RSS feed script is that we don't know what we get, so we don't know how to interpret the RSS feed. It depends on the source of the f
