I don't remember all that was said about thread safety in relation to bibitems and type info. I thought that BDSKTypeInfoManager doesn't need to be thread safe, because it wasn't used on a secondary thread since it wasn't used anymore for file searching. That seems to be incorrect, as various search group servers create bibitems on a secondary thread, and that uses the type manager. So something has to change. Either search groups servers should always create bibitems on the main thread, or BDSKTypeManager needs to be thread safe. The latter can be very expensive in regular usage, because the various typeinfo NSString category methods are called a lot (and especially those should be made thread safe, because that type info can change). So is it feasible to create items in search groups on the main thread? I particularly want to ask Adam, because he wrote the search group servers.
