[Luc Bourhis via Bibdesk-users]

Hi,

disabling auto-save seems to solve my issue indeed. I had never realised it was 
on actually!

Thanks,

Luc J Bourhis

I do realize now that there is a very old hidden preference to disable 
auto-complete. Please see the Wiki for details.

Note that I expect this would not solve your problem though, as it looks like 
that lies with something else.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Would there be a way to disable auto-completion in fields?

[Christiaan Hofman]

If you have “Automatically save documents in place” checked in the Files 
preferences, the documented is saved automatically. I have no idea when it does 
this and how often, but I can imagine that editing can lead to the document 
being auto-saved.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Would there be a way to disable auto-completion in fields?

[Christiaan Hofman]

No, this is also saving a document.

I doubt this is really related to auto-completion. I don’t see how it could eve 
be so ineffecient that it is getting a beach ball.

No, it’s just (auto)saving in the sample.

Re: [Bibdesk-users] Would there be a way to disable auto-completion in fields?

[Christiaan Hofman]

When precisely does this occur? Is it when you are typing, or when you commit 
an edit (using e.g. return, tab, or moving to another entry)?

Perhaps you can create a Sample using Activity Monitor.app while this happens, 
and send it to me (or attach it to a bug report)?

[Bibdesk-users] Would there be a way to disable auto-completion in fields?

[Luc Bourhis via Bibdesk-users]

Hi,

when I create or edit an entry, auto-completion is very slow. I get the beach 
ball for many seconds. Is there a way to disable the auto-completion? I don’t 
really need it: I import 99% of the record from a file or the clipboard. I 
don’t see any way to do that in the Preferences. Perhaps with the “defaults” 
command? For the record, I have a library with 4000+ entries.

Best wishes,

Luc J Bourhis
