Hi,

Been using Bibdesk for a while now and been very impressed with the feature set 
and quality of the software. I have just started to write my own export 
template to extract references in a format that I can us in a Wiki. I would 
like to include the reference information and a list of annotations from the 
attachments (annotated with skim). I have got this all working and I am very 
pleased with the results. But I would like to include a link at the end of each 
annotation that launches Skim and positions the article to the correct page for 
the annotation.

The problem that I am having is that I need the name of the attachment, but the 
code is in the context of the annotation. I can not figure out a way of getting 
the attachment name. An example of this is:

<$localFiles?>
<$localFiles>
<$path.lastPathComponent.stringByDeletingPathExtension/>
<$scriptingSkimNotes?>
<$scriptingSkimNotes>
<$type=Highlight?>
<$contents/> 
[skimx://<$path.lastPathComponent.stringByDeletingPathExtension/>#<$pageIndex/> 
p. <$pageIndex/>]

</$type?>
</$scriptingSkimNotes>
</$scriptingSkimNotes?>
</$localFiles>
</$localFiles?>

The code on the third line returns the name of the attachment, but code on the 
7th line does not, because it is in the context of the scriptingSkimNotes. So 
my question is, is it possible to get the attachment name whilst in the context 
of the scriptingSkimNotes or perhaps save the attachment name in a variable, 
that I can access?

I may be asking too much of the export process and therefore may need to use an 
Applescript instead. I have searched through the wiki and this mail list for 
the answer but have not found anything. If someone could let me know if this is 
possible that would be great.

Thank you
Marc
