Greg,
Doesn't +itemByParsingPDFFile: do this now? I just glanced at the code, and it
seems to try and use the file name as a search term first.
+ (id)itemByParsingPDFFile:(NSString *)pdfPath;
{
BibItem *bi=nil;
// see if we can find any bibliographic info in the filename
NSString *pubMedSearch=nil;
pubMedSearch=[[[pdfPath lastPathComponent]
stringByDeletingPathExtension]
stringByMakingPubmedSearchFromAnyBibliographicIDsInString];
if(pubMedSearch!=nil){
bi=[BibItem itemWithPubMedSearchTerm:pubMedSearch];
if(bi!=nil) return bi;
}
....
