Re: [Bibdesk-users] Way to make Skim default only in Bibdesk?

Inspecting BD a bit with defaults read edu.ucsd.cs.mmccrack.bibdesk lead me first to conclude that Adam might be right. At least I could not figure out that it is not a BD specific preference. However, I have set in the Finder to open all pdf with Adobe Reader. Double-clicking a pdf

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Way to make Skim default only in Bibdesk?

Christiaan's and my mail crossed each other. I side with Christiaan, having read the thread. And true, there are many arguments to consider, not just a particular user's ones. One last advanced ;-) question to Christiaan: I wish just to better understand the implementation: Is there a

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Way to make Skim default only in Bibdesk?

To kbostroem, No, OS X is pretty good in keeping user accounts separate and I guess this is not the issue. The issue with system wide preferences within your account, since it may affect other applications. If the only program you would be running is BD, then BD could do what it wants. But in

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Way to make Skim default only in Bibdesk?

To kbostroem, If you wish to have as an end-user a simple workflow in a logical and transparent manner then you should let programmers do their job properly. There are good reasons for thinking carefully about an implementation and striking the balance right. Arguing it is so simple for me

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Include references in .bib file

AFAIK that's far from easy and I know of no tool to help you with that. I fear you still need distributing lots of it manually to the various BibTeX fields. Regards, Andreas ETH Zurich Prof. Dr. Andreas Fischlin Systems Ecology - Institute of Integrative Biology CHN E 21.1 Universitaetstrasse

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Release is back on schedule

Nothing, despite me using BD daily. Thanks for the effort. Regards, Andreas ETH Zurich Prof. Dr. Andreas Fischlin Systems Ecology - Institute of Integrative Biology CHN E 21.1 Universitaetstrasse 16 8092 Zurich SWITZERLAND andreas.fisch...@env.ethz.ch www.sysecol.ethz.ch +41 44 633-6090 phone

Re: [Bibdesk-users] multiple entries to one citation key

It is difficult to understand what the goal should be. Regardless of what the people do, to merge the various records into a single, usable bib file means having to assign new cite keys to avoid duplicate cite keys. BibDesk helps you in this by highlighting the records, which have duplicates

[Bibdesk-users] Importing some .ris files from AGU journal citation exports

Hi all, The AGU journal REVIEWS OF GEOPHYSICS - as many other AGU journals - offers a Export RIS Citation service. I found that these files contain a DOI field encoded similar to this DO - 10.1029/2010RG000345 yet, when I import such a ris file into BibDesk (latest nightly Version

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Importing some .ris files from AGU journal citation exports

to lead to problems with the way we set things up, we could add DO - DOI as a valid translation in BibDesk. You could also use a script hook to change Do to Doi. Christiaan On Dec 30, 2010, at 10:49, Fischlin Andreas wrote: Hi all, The AGU journal REVIEWS OF GEOPHYSICS - as many
