BibDesk tries various encodings for external file groups, though not
the one from your preferences. It tries UTF-8 before Windows Latin 1,
so if it's UTF-8 it should use that. If it doesn't, there should be
some characters that are not UTF-8, or the download messes thing up.

It's probably using ASCII, actually, unless the patch I posted to


Shouldn't ASCII not just fail if there are non-ASCII characters?

That was my original belief (and the intent of the code), but it appears to succeed. That may be a change in NSString since 10.4, but I'm not sure.

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03064.html

was applied to the trunk.  I think I tested it with a number of
cases, but James never posted back saying whether it worked, and I
forgot about it.  In my repo, it looks like I added that code, then
changed the calls to it to pass 0 instead of NSASCIIStringEncoding.


That's not applied ATM.

I checked it in now.  I think it's an improved heuristic.

How can I set the character encoding for an external file group?

In Bibdesk (version 1.3.18), I used the "external file group"
feature
to "subcribe" to a URL (http://www.bibsonomy.org/bib/group/inain).
This is a generated bibtex-file from a (collaborative) bibliography
database. My browser reports it to be UTF-encoded. Saving it and
manually importing it into Bibdesk (which is set to open/export
using
UTF8 encoding) works fine.

However, the entries of the external file group's items appear to
have
a wrong encoding. It looks as if Bibdesk would take the data to be
encoded as Windows Latin 1.

Weird. Any thoughts?
