I just discovered pdfmeat at https://code.google.com/p/pdfmeat/ which as of
one year ago includes a stand-alone CLI python script to generate BibTeX
entries given a file. To get it working on OS X I had to change the path
for the FireFox cookie file from ~/mozilla/firefox/ to
~/Library/Application Support/FireFox/Profiles/, did "pip install X" for
each X it complained was missing, and it "just worked". Nice.
It seems like this could be wrapped in a plugin so that drag-and-dropping
PDF files onto BibDesk could auto-import with meta-data, just like Mendely
and Papers and Zotero and all the other PDF/bibliography managers.
I searched for "pdfmeat" and "bibdesk" and found almost no hits. Is anyone
aware of such a plugin, or anyone familiar with plugin writing un-aware of
pdfmeat and now interested in creating this plugin? If not, I may have to
figure out how BibDesk plugins work...
