Well, given that Apple's iDisk performance still sucks, I'm not optimistic that we can come up with something better. It would be possible to edit a remote .bib file using Distributed Objects, but that would require a Mac on both ends of the connection, and you'd have to type in the server address manually. I suppose even Local-Urls could be made available, but it would be as slow as your network connection. The problems arise in dealing with network slowdowns, timeouts, security, multiuser setups, server outages, file locking, firewalls, proxies... > And next problem: > I stored all my pdf files on my iDisk (which works fine), but it's > filled up pretty fast. > If I have access to a web server it would be nice to store the bib and > all pdf files on that server and actually work on that file/repository > with bibdesk. By "work on" I presume you mean "view and/or modify." A web server is one-way, although I think you can use WebDAV as iDisk does; no idea how difficult that is to set up, but in that case could you just mount it from the Finder? -- Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
