I know this program and use it myself. The trouble is if you open a file to read, it seems to download the file and if you annotate it, you need to upload it and remember the folder it was in. Bibdesk maintains that location without the need to upload.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong.

Subject Re: [Bibdesk-users] bibdesk on ipados

The reading application for iPadOS to read Bibdesk .bib files and automatically display or download the PDFs already exists. It actually allows you to connect directly to Dropbox or other cloud file servers.

The app has actually been there for a while and it is relatively well maintained. I use it all the time. It is relatively well maintained and the developer has been responsive to questions and suggestions.

It is not easy to find and not well publicized, so here is the appstore link to access it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/references/id1481843213?platform=ipad

A little bit more info by the developer: https://benburton.org/references/

Enjoy!

I agree, at least a reading option would be quite handy. However, I fear, a version comparable in functionality would be very difficult to implement and IMHO not even desirable, as I cannot imagine to efficiently maintain my literature collection on an iPad.

Just my two cents,

I am trying to move more of my reading and marking technical papers to my iPad and everyday I rue the absence of bibdesk in ipados. I'd pay for it to be avaialable there. Nothing compares.

Just thinking out loud.
