Hi, let me start by saying that I know that the topic of input managers has been discussed on this list, still, I'm not happy with the current situation.
As you all know, with the introduction of Leopard, input managers have been disabled due to security concerns. For me – and I know I'm not alone here – this means a major loss of functionality. The ability to autocomplete cite keys in every Cocoa app was one of the greatest features of BibDesk IMO. Most input managers can be enabled in Leopard. There are several tools for this, and IME this always works – with one exception: I can't get the BibDesk input manager to work again. Although the manager is enabled (with a tool called Input Managers) and I even re-enabled the respective prefpane in BibDesk by hacking info.plist, autocompletion doesn't work. So my question is: Has anyone been succesful in making this work? I know that the developers never liked the input manager solution too much and that they prefer costum solutions for every app. In this spirit I filed a feature request for directo support for BibDesk in TeXShop, my favorite LaTeX editor. But I still think that BibDesk loses much of its strength without the input manager. So this is my plea: Please think again about re-enabling this functionality. At least don't disable it if the input manager is enabled under Leopard. simon -- Simon Spiegel Steinhaldenstr. 50 8002 Zürich Telephon: ++41 44 451 5334 Mobophon: ++41 76 459 60 39 http://www.simifilm.ch „In a world getting more and more democratic, film directing is the last resort for dictators.“ Francis Ford Coppola ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
