My bad -- the booktitle should have been inherited, not present in the @incollection entry.

This is more compact sample: @inproceedings{author:06, title = {Some publication title}, author = {Author, First and Author, Second}, crossref = {conference:06}, pages = {330—331} } @book{conference:06, editor = {Editor, First and Editor, Second}, title = {Proceedings of the Xth Conference on XYZ}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Xth Conference on XYZ (Book)}, year = {2006}, month = {oct} } > Are you talking about the tex preview? > I'm not sure -- when I click an item in bibdesk, there's a preview below the list, is that what you mean? If so, then yes -- that preview of author:06 shows a booktitle, and if I double-click author:06, it shows the booktitle in grey, with an arrow to open the parent item. Somewhere bibdesk must know what fields are candidate for inheritance, and what they are mapped to.
