HiAs an alternative to creating a script & script group in BD, you could set up a script in an RSS reader to create a new BD item. I have an Applescript which will create a new BibDesk item based (imperfectly, but a best guess) on an item in an RSS feed in NetNewsWire, available here: http://dfay.fastmail.fm/bibdesk/ -- this should be easily adaptable to any newsreader that supports Applescript. My workflow is to use NNW &/or web browser to check out lit., & only import it to BD if it's something I want to read, so this works for me.

To: For general discussion about using BibDesk <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed You can add a script group with a script that reads RSS feeds. Adam has made a script to read pubmed, which is available at <http:// homepage.mac.com/amaxwell/.Public/pubmedtobibtex.zip>. The problem with adding a generic RSS feed script is that we don't know what we get, so we don't know how to interpret the RSS feed. It depends on the source of the feed. if you look inside the source of Adam's script you'll see that most of the code is PubMed specific. Most of the generic handling is already there in the script group.

I do think integrating an rss reader to bibdesk would of interest for many people. What do you think? Best regards, ----- Etienne
