There are currently no plans to make groups scriptable. You can submit an RFE but I can make no guarantees that this will be added.

Thanks. I've x-posted to macscripter & will see if anyone there has suggestions but will drop a bug report if it stays unresolved.

Do you know if there are any plans to make group creation / manipulation directly accessible through Applescript (and thus avoid UI scripting)?

thanks

My guess is that this is a bug in UI scripting. Apparently it does
not set the values of text fields in a KVC compatible way, so that
bindings do not work. You may file a bug report about this with Apple.

Hi all
I am trying to write an applescript to create a new smart group in
Bibdesk.  Here's what I have (using UI scripting):

- - begin script - -

property the_tag : "land"

tell application "BibDesk"
        activate
        tell application "System Events"
                tell process "BibDesk"
                        tell menu bar 1
                                click menu item "New Smart Group" of menu 
"Database"
                        end tell
                        set value of text field 1 of group 2 of scroll area 1 
of group 1
of sheet 1 of window "master" to the_tag
                        set value of combo box 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of 
sheet 1 of
window "master" to "Keywords"
                        click button "OK" of sheet 1 of window "master"
                end tell
        end tell
end tell

- - end script - -

Everything works as expected except that the new Smart Group which is
create doesn't actually have the values (Keyword contains land) that
are set in the script -- its criteria are empty.

Any advice would be appreciated.
