In the next nightly you can also use database find & replace directly for linked URLs, choose the Remote URL field from the combobox. Christiaan On 13 Feb 2008, at 9:17 PM, Ingrid Giffin wrote: Aah! That’s what I needed. Thank you. On 2/13/08 1:11 PM, "Christiaan Hofman" <[EMAIL PROT

You can use AppleScript. Generally, you should not have to use the fields anymore, you can add directly to the side pane. Typically you just drag URLs to the side pane. You can modify there using the contextual menu. There is no bulk editing, apart from AppleScript. You really need that, yo

So if I copy 50 URLs to 50 My-Remote-URLs, and then fix all 50 en masse, I then have to drag each one by hand to the side pane to make it active? Or is there some other way to do this, when you say not to work this way anymore? On 2/13/08 11:54 AM, "Christiaan Hofman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I am not using nightly builds. I am using Version 1.3.14 (v1008). I'm sorry if I'm being dense, but could you please explain: If I copy a set of URL fields into My-Remote-URL and run a search-and-replace to change the URL to the correct proxy version, how can I make the link be active, or show up

What I mean is that the *functionality* of linking remote URLs is now supported in the side pane, together with the linked local files. If you declared this field as a remote URL field it should have been moved there initially, but that is not guaranteed if you've used nightly builds. Chri

Hello, I have a custom URL field called My-Proxy-URL that's set to be a Remote URL field in preferences. In the previous version of BibDesk, there was an icon by the field that was clickable & would send the URL to my browser. Now the icon is gone and I can't seem to use the URL. Am I missing some
