Not a showstopper, but something cosmeitc, which I think has some  
usability consequences: In the new drawer/right-side preview (or  
whatever it is called), when a file is displayed also the filename is  
displayed. That's of course good, but if the filename is long, it  
extends over the width of the file itself. I want to say is this:  
Screen estate is used without any real use when there is a long  
filename because the displayed file itself is shrinked. I think all  
available space should be used by the displayed file and the name  
should be truncated and maybe only displayed in full when you hover  
over it. I think there's no point in having all the space left and  
right of the displayed file unused.

Related to this: When an URL or doi is givem, BibDesk displays a huge  
@ icon, must this be so big? What's the point of a huge generic icon.  
Or could a WebKit viewer be integrated instead?
