But harder to test/debug, as it includes lots of other code, and the attribute reading looks to have been rewritten. It's a pretty substantial change, even if large parts were copy-and-pasted. Incidentally, now that you have a framework, why not just link it into BibDesk and make the calls directly? ISTR Skim's NSFileManager category became incompatible with BibDesk's and prevented that, but it looks like you've renamed things so that might not be an issue any longer. > James, When exactly did you get these problems?

The last nightly launches and runs fine here (MacBook Pro), and reads Skim notes. Maybe James has some corrupted Skim notes; what would trigger a call to -[NSError code]? The tool was obviously launching, but why would it also print out a usage message to the console? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
