Re: [Bibdesk-users] Styled bibliography text into Applescript

2008-01-05 Thread Christiaan Hofman
That's a general AppleScript problem with rich text. AppleScript does not have a primitive rich text type. Rich text is declared as type text, so whenever you evaluated it (e.g. by assigning it to a variable) it is converted to just text. So you can only use it as rich text as a reference.

I don't know why, but it may be related to the new file layout. This is also reflected in the AppleScript support. E.g. 'local file' and 'remote URL' are now deprecated, and they refer now to the first linked file and URL from the new file layout rather than the Local- Url and Url fields. C
