Dear Despina,

There are several ways to do that. I have similar needs and have solved them by using an AppleScript as BibDesk hook "Did Generate Cite Key" that reads from a little text file that contains the last used number to ensure proper incrementing among several BibDesk documents. I can send you that AppleScript, but I have to warn you, it is part of a rather sophisticated system. Tell me whether you are interested to get that AppleScript.

Regards,
Andreas

Dear friends,

I am a new user of Bibdesk and was wondering whether you could help me with the following: I moved to Bibdesk on a mac from previously working with procite on a pc (yes, I managed...). In procite, each new record was automatically assigned an increasing number (of hundreds) which them helped me file my (physical) files in the order of these numbers and be able to find the paper that I wanted on the spot. Is there a way to program Bibdesk to do the same by default?

Apologies if this is something extremely basic and easy, but I'm afraid my technical knowledge is quite limited and I am not always able to follow your suggestions (in fact if I could, that would be my main suggestion and request: that you could also put together a complete idiot's guide to bibdesk! For example, I still cannot find how one can print their entire database file into a document...)

Thanks in advance
despina
