Yes. > > 2) Will TypeInfo.plist be replaced during an update? No. TypeInfo.plist belongs to your personal prefs and shouldn't normally be touched during an update. > > 3) What happens when I change the TypeInfo.plist and afterwards open an > already existing bib file.

TypeInfo.plist just tells BibDesk which types and fields it should display by default, it doesn't touch the data in your .bib file and if your .bib file contains fields which are not in TypeInfo.plist they will still be displayed. After all, you can always add any kind of field you want to any entry in BibDesk.
