You know you can add smart groups for that?

That had occurred to me, but what I meant, really was the automatic
creation of smart-group-like things.
Or, to put it a different way, a sort of calendar view.
This would be quite easy to do with Applescript.....if smart groups
were Applescriptable. I had brought this up on the list last year
( http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=1D486553-
C9E8-4928-A320-635B7D3AB5B3%40gmail.com ) and was told it wasn't
likely. There seems to be a bug in UI scripting that makes it
impossible to create smart groups with UI scripting, so that's not an
option either.
I don't know what others think, but I am quite happy with the user
interface / layout in BibDesk & would prefer to see scarce
development time going into making more features of the application
scriptable.
I think there are a lot of useful applications for smart group
Applescripting beyond the calendar view that Nicholas requested --
e.g. I would like to set up context menus (using OnMyCommand to call
an Applescript) to create new author- or keyword-based smart groups
from a text selection.
