Thanks for the quick reply, some followups.
- I think it would be nice if BibDesk remembered the path it stores its templates. I just added a bunch of templates, and every time the file requester would jump to ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bib/ where the .bib file is located which is openend on launh, and every time I have to change to ~/Library/Application support/BibDesk/templatesLooking at the code, it should start at the last directory used in the open/save panel, unless you're changing an existing template file.
Have to look into this.
- @componentsJoinedByComma In my tests this only worked for 'author', but not for 'editor' or any other field which uses 'and' for multiple entries ('address' for example).Thisit is not supposed to work for strings (e.g. field values), but for arrays. For example "fields.Author" is a string, while "persons.Author" is an array. Also fields.Address is a field.
Mhmm, too bad.
Is this by design, or a bug or am I doing something wrong. And an additional question: I'd really like to have a @componentsJoinedBySlash function, or mabye even the possibility tochoose the separator freely (especially useful for non-english users).A generic one is impossible as there is no way to pass an argument. However you can add any separator using the collection tag syntax.
How would I do this?
- I'm not really sure what the difference between 'author' and 'persons.author' is. What I found is that 'persons.editor' or 'editors' gives me this strange output: ( {"__self__" = ""; }, {"__self__" = ""; }, {"__self__" = ""; } )"authors" is just a shortcut to "persons.Author". Also you're not supposed to use something like editors in a value tag, e.g. <$editors/would give weird results such as this, you need to convert it to avalue or use it in a collection tag.
Ok, I think I get it ...
- I really like the ability to check if a field corresponds to a certain given value. Is it also possible to see whether a field (like 'author') has several entries? This would be very useful for differentiating betwen 'ed.' and 'eds.'.<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> template for no authors <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> template for single author <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> template for multiple authors </[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I haven't checked this example, but following it I did: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> template for no editors <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> template for single author <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> template for multiple editors </[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This is supposed to work, no? It doesn't here.
