Re: [Bibdesk-users] export endnote xml with applescript?

Thanks. I asked if it was possible to do this through AppleScript because I'm trying to write an app that will facilitate communication between BibDesk and Mellel (similar to BibDesk2Word and CiteInPages, but Mellel isn't scriptable, so it's a bit trickier). One piece of information Mellel wants fr

Dear List, I guess the following problem a job for applescript: I need to fill in the "address" field for the publishers in my list to cope with the modern fad for putting both the place and name of publishers. (Not so long ago this was regarded as a waste of effort, but I digress...) I need to

Sorry, I should've said since I can get the XML through applescript no modifications to _BibDesk_ are necessary. I'm going to create a separate app that uses AppleScript (appscript, actually) to communicate with BibDesk and AppleEvents (blech) to communicate with Mellel. For the AppleEvents to work

Is there any chance of getting a release out soon? A colleague asked today why Google Scholar support was broken. I pointed him to the nightly builds...but it would be nice to have an "official" version out there, since that feature has been broken for ~4 months. ---

Sorry, I didn't know the procedure had changed...that's a real pain, especially if you're not responsible for the changes, so have to figure out the process all over again! The only time I was comfortable with releases was when I'd been doing them once a month for an extended time, since there are

If you're not completely confident you could do a dry run of the DiskImage build steps, so you can test it out before committing the last changes. As for the changes to the procedure, the main difference for you is updating the appcast (bibdesk.xml), but that's not too critical because that

I posted a script to do this sometime last year. 1st you create a smart folder of all books (or inbooks) where address is blank. Then select all in the folder and run the script. It has the addresses for 20-30 university presses as I recall - you can edit the script and it should be self
