Only if it's a well-formed URL. A DOI by itself will be ignored if dropped on the file pane, unless it has a resolver associated with it (such as http://dx.doi.org). If it has a doi: prefix, it might be recognized as a URL, but probably won't be functional. Note: DOI field contents will be converted to linked URLs automatically when reopening the file. See the archives for discussion of this. > If you want the doi or url to get into the doi or url field, you have to copy > it there yourself. Alex Montgomery posted a cool script hook here last week for copying contents of the DOI field to a linked URL automagically. I'm appending a slightly modified version that I'm currently using. Paste it into Script Editor, save as a .scpt, and associate it with the "Change Field" hook in prefs. Line breaks will probably be messed up, so watch for that. using terms from application "BibDesk" on perform BibDesk action with publications thePubs for script hook theScriptHook tell application "BibDesk" set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "" set theField to get field name of theScriptHook as string if theField is "doi" then repeat with thePub in thePubs set oldDOI to old values of theScriptHook as string -- remove non-numeric prefix from old DOI repeat with iChar from 1 to number of characters of oldDOI if character iChar of oldDOI is in "0123456789" then exit repeat end repeat set oldDOI to texts iChar thru -1 of oldDOI -- convert to a URL string for comparison with linked files -- remove any linked file that's set to the old value set oldURL to "http://dx.doi.org/"; & oldDOI repeat with iURL from 1 to count of linked URLs of thePub if linked URL iURL of thePub = oldURL then delete linked URL iURL of thePub end if end repeat set newDOI to new values of theScriptHook as string -- remove non-numeric prefix from new DOI repeat with iChar from 1 to number of characters of newDOI if character iChar of newDOI is in "0123456789" then exit repeat end repeat set newDOI to texts iChar thru -1 of newDOI -- leave the original DOI field intact, but create a valid linked URL from it if newDOI is not "" then make new linked URL with data "http://dx.doi.org/"; & newDOI at end of linked URLs of thePub end repeat end if end tell end perform BibDesk action with publications end using terms from ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
