Sorry, I'm not > going into that wasp nest. My point is the following: Let's say I create a template for "incollection". The chances that I will use this template for anything else but this specific entry type are very small IMO. So if a mechanism could be established where a template can have a default entry type I'd only see benefits. This default could always be overruled by BibDesk preferences we already have, but I see little potential conflict here. > The type info is totally separate from the templates, logically and > in the > code.

How it would be technically solved, I don't know. I also wouldn't mind if it was a bit complicated to create such a template package. I'm really more thinking about giving users who are not very tech savy a way to easily use already existing templates. simon -- Simon Spiegel Steinhaldenstr. 50 8002 Zürich Telephon: ++41 44 451 5334 Mobophon: ++41 76 459 60 39 http://www.simifilm.ch „It will take time to restore chaos.“ George W.
