Yeah, that's much easier than what I suggested, but that feature didn't exist when I merged my files. As Adam G. pointed out, my suggestion on duplicates was wrong: don't hit delete, because it selects the original and any copies! If you search the help book for "Duplicate" it will explain this, also; it used to work as I described, I think. >You could then easily go to the Last Import group >to add the items to a new group as Adam described. Or use the find & replace panel to set all items in the last import group? There are usually a dozen ways to do the same thing in BibDesk :). -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
