Well, in Python using py-appscript:
# Get the union of all the linked files of a Bibdesk publication,
# then update (replace) the keywords of the publication with the union.
# If the publication has keywords but no linked files, then preserve
# the existing keywords.
# Charles Turner - 2010-02-28
# Issue: if you have a tag like "theory and analysis," and it's the only
# tag in the keyword field, there needs to be a comma after it.
# FIXED: 2010-09-14
from appscript import *
bibdesk = app('BibDesk.app')
union_tags = set()
# Get the full path of the publications of the first Bibdesk document
cur_bib_publications = bibdesk.documents[1].publications.get()
for i in cur_bib_publications:
cnt = len(i.linked_files.get()) # maybe 0 to many linked files
if (cnt == 0):
# Skip if there are no linked files, there may be keywords!
continue
else:
# Create set that is a union of all linked files' tags
for j in range(1, cnt + 1): # 1-based indexing!
cur_pub_tags = i.linked_files[j].tags.get()
union_tags |= set(cur_pub_tags)
# Write the set in to the publication's keywords
if (len(union_tags) == 1):
# add a trailing comma if there is only one tag
i.keywords.set(unicode(', '.join(union_tags) + ','))
else:
i.keywords.set(unicode(', '.join(union_tags)))
# Clear the set for the next publication
union_tags.clear()
