I believe the secondary point is that your comment seems needlessly snide. For the record, Themis has been using BibDesk for a long time; he is one of the few who actually donated to the project [1], and has also been instrumental in reproducing some memorable bugs (e.g., [2] & [3] come to mind). The original point he demonstrated is that there's no way to debug failures of the TeX preview in the main window, unless you're aware of the preview panel. It looks like this commit removed display of the log/debug info in the PDF view when no PDF was produced: http://bibdesk.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/bibdesk/trunk/bibdesk/BDSKPreviewer.m?r1=9360&r2=9447 Maybe reverting that would help people figure out that TeX itself failed, if they're using that preview in the main window.
