Dear BibDesk developers,
First of all, apologies for sending this directly to the developers' mailing
list, but it seemed the least inappropriate thing to do ...
I have a question about the performance of BibDesk AppleScripts in Lion. The
script below worked like a charm in OS X versions up to 10.6, but performance
got noticeably worse in 10.7. Admittedly, the script is a bit twisted -- it
looks for the record that contains a link to a particular file path and returns
the values of some fields of that record --, but performance has never been an
issue. I'm just wondering whether perhaps you came across anything similar?
If you like some context: I am using this script in my SlipBox application to
retrieve information from a BibTeX record when a user wants to import
annotations of a PDF that he/she made with Skim.
Thanks,
Markus
