I think Chris's non-destructive approach of creating a new field /
keeping the keywords around is a good one.
On the other hand, if you want to overwrite the keywords, I have an
applescript which will replace the existing keywords for selected
publications - it's here: http://dfay.fastmail.fm/bibdesk/

Hi
I have a problem with the actually quite nice keyword feature. Maybe
someone has a solution for this.
Problem:
I use medline format to import my bibliographic information. It comes
with already with keywords to each entry, which can be very diverse
and manifold, i.e. up to twenty for an entry (for those of you who
also use medline: those are the MeSH-Terms associated with each
entry). Now I have over 2000 keywords which makes the keywords
feature
useless for me.
Thus the question is: Can I tell bibdesk to omit fields when I
import?
Another solution would be to forget about the keywords field
altogether and make your own field (e.g. "Category"). You can tell
bibdesk to display your field in the left-hand pane rather than the
keywords field. Then you would have the medline keywords if you
needed them someday, but could organize your bibliography according
to your own categories.
