BibDesk seems like it's a great tool. I'm doing work on my thesis and would like to use it to help me write a bibliography. Problem is though... I don't see any easy step by step directions on how to do that on either the BibDesk website or anywhere else for that matter.
Many people who download bibdesk are probably going to have SOME idea of what it does before they download... but I discovered it through a google search, and downloaded it with the expectation that it would easily allow me to create bibliographies (e.g. I'd be able to do something like go to the file menu and hit export and then choose from a list of formats, like MLA or APA). It doesn't seem to work that way though, and the website gives no impression that it won't (well, at least that's the way I interpreted it) I've seen written in plenty of places that I can export in text format and even as a pdf... but I don't really understand how that's going to help me much when I would need to export in a certain bibliographical format. Sounds like a program like MacTex could help me... but I highly doubt it's necessary for me to download a ~742 megabyte file simply to export bibdesk data to an APA bibliography. I'm obviously missing something... I'm just not sure what it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
