Hi, checked out the latest nightly with the changes on openmeta: looks beautiful (I did add some openmeta-tags manually via third application)
Is there a way to change them from within Bibdesk yet? If yes, where would I find documentation (the AppleScript-library of the Bibdesk- latest-Nightly)? Anyway I'd have to find someone to write me an Applescript… Thanks a bunch!
