My tests using latest nightly Version 1.5.1 (1817) (= BibDesk-20100409.dmg)
confirmed this bug to be fixed. "external" statements seem to execute without
delay and reliably each time.
Thanks Christiaan! :-)

You're right, that's a bug. Should be fixed in the next nightly build.
You could try doing the same for the selected pubs ("selection"), which should
work already.

Dear Christiaan,
There is something odd going on. The same code snippet does sometimes work,
sometimes not. I do at the moment not understand why. The variant I have
previously reported on worked for me for a while, but after a restart of
BibDesk, it did that no more. Your variant never worked on my system.
Restarting the system seems not to make any difference. Initially neither the
code by Christiaan nor my variant work. Only after having opened the crashing
script in AppleSript Editor, saving it once more, does the script work.
If there is no current selection the AppleScript hangs for a very long time
when executing a statement such as
set theGroupsSelected to (group selection of first document)
If I try to stop the script by clicking on the Stop button in AppleScript
Editor, after a long while the script ends with "error "User canceled." number
-128". Any idea what might be going on? A bug in BD's AppleScripting?
I tried a more "defensively" written variant:
tell application "BibDesk"
set theGroupsSelected to (group selection of first document)
set theNoOfGroups to (count of theGroupsSelected)
if theNoOfGroups > 0 then
set firstGroup to first item of theGroupsSelected
external of firstGroup
end if
end tell
It fails with
error "BibDesk got an error: Can’t get library group id
\"4071B7B3-0C8E-4C7F-91CA-7979B9ED79F2\" of document \"Some Refs.bib\"." number
-1728 from library group id "4071B7B3-0C8E-4C7F-91CA-7979B9ED79F2" of document
"Some Refs.bib"
at the execution of the external statement.
Once I encountered this error a few times. Suddenly the very same script
succeeds and correctly reports the external status of the current selection.
Could there be some not properly inited internal variables? Should I file a bug
report?
I am using latest nightly build of BibDesk, i.e. Version 1.5.1 (1816).
Regards,
Andreas

Christiaan,
Thanks. However, for the record, your code snippet throws an error:
error "BibDesk got an error: Can’t get group selection." number -1728 from
group selection
However
tell application "BibDesk"
external of (get first item of (get group selection of first document))
end tell
works.

Hi all,
What is the best way to determine in an AppleScript that current selection is
with external publications? I guess something similar to this
tell application "BibDesk"
set theBibDeskDocu to first document
set thePubs to selection of theBibDeskDocu
if thePubs is not {} then
tell theBibDeskDocu
tell first item of thePubs
set theCiteKey to get cite key
set selectionIsExternal to theCiteKey is "cite-key"
end tell
end tell
end if
end tell
is not the proper method to determine the value of selectionIsExternal. Is
there a better one?
Thanks for your help and cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
