[Bibdesk-users] Quits on startup

2010-08-21 Thread Cloy Tobola
I just installed Bibdesk on a new MBP w/OS X 10.6.3, 2.53ghz Intel i5, 4gb ram. Whenever I start it, the list comes up (either a new list or an existing list if I start from the file) and the release notes appear. Then the program quits. I started with Bibdesk 1.5.2. When that didn't work,

[Bibdesk-users] EBSCO changes file structure

I'm currently using BibDesk 1.3.20 (1412) The file structure for citations being downloaded from EBSCO seems to have changed. Below is an example of a citation that will not open correctly. If I remove the first two lines (DP and DB), the file opens in BibDesk correctly. Earlier citations

[Bibdesk-users] Year field has extra data

2009-04-12 Thread Cloy Tobola
The citations I've downloaded from EBSCO for the last month or so have extra data at the end of the year field. Some examples: 2007/12// 2008/07//Jul-Sep2008 2003/// That goofs things up with my APA export templates, which typically require only a single year (or range of years) in that field

[Bibdesk-users] Correction to APA Style template on Wiki

2009-04-06 Thread Cloy Tobola
The current APA Style template for "Author + Year citations" (i.e., parenthetic or in-text citations) posted on the Wiki has a discrepancy. When a source has three, four or five authors, ALL names are included in the citation on first reference. [Subsequent references may be concatenated to

[Bibdesk-users] Optimizing files for quicker response

2009-01-29 Thread Cloy Tobola
I have a Bibdesk bibliography file that's getting large - 1.1mb with 315 sources. (Breaking it into smaller files isn't a good option right now.) Since I use the file (and attached PDFs) from several locations, I keep the file (and the auto-filed PDFs) on a WebDAV drive. That works okay, bu

[Bibdesk-users] APA Citation - error in template

2009-01-04 Thread Cloy Tobola
Here's a correction for the "APA style full citations" template (APACitationTemplate.txt) on the Wiki... In APA Style, the names of the editors (for inbook references) should be listed as "In A. B. Smith..." (not Smith, A. B.) (See p. 252, #34 in the APA Publication Manual, 5th Edition.)

[Bibdesk-users] Template format?

2008-04-02 Thread Cloy Tobola
I'm working on an APA style template, and I am running into a problem. When listing authors, APA uses a serial comma when there are only two authors. The current template editor options list "A, B, & C" but when I use that format with only two authors I get this: Mancuso, J. C. & Adams-W
