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

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}
}

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.
