Hello
 I am looking at the users script in
https://sourceforge.net/p/bibdesk/wiki/BibDesk_Applescripts/ and I see only
a couple of things for managing groups.

I am trying to just make a script to add a pubblication to a group which I
name trough a dialog

My current best guess for the script is

tell application "BibDesk"
    activate

    -- without document, there is no selection, so nothing to do
    if (count of documents) = 0 then
        beep
        display dialog "No documents found." buttons {"•"} default button 1
giving up after 3
    end if

    set thePublications to the selection of document 1

    set _counter to 0
    repeat with thePub in thePublications
        set _counter to _counter + 1
    end repeat
    --display dialog "Working on " & _counter & "  documents."

    if _counter > 0 then
        -- will set keywords for a group of papers. All papers will be
added the given keywords
        set theGroupName to text returned of (display dialog "Enter name of
the group to which we add these papers:" default answer "")
        -- got the group name now put the publication into the group

        set theGroup to get static group theGroupName
        repeat with thePub in thePublications
            add thePub to theGroupName
        end repeat

    end if

end tell --Bibdesk

but it complains "can't get static group XYZ". Any suggestions?

More in general (I am very new to applescript): where do I get to learn the
objects with which I can play in a script (such as 'linked files', 'static
group' and so on).

Thanks a lot for your inputs,
Roberto
