Thanks Ken. I’d like to be able to automate the importing of PDFs into BibDesk. 
I’m on a Mac, so what I do to add files to other apps is have Hazel (an 
automation assistant) monitor a folder and, depending on the tag a file has, it 
will open it in a specific app. That’s usually enough to import it into that 
app. However, with BibDesk, this doesn’t work - I get an error saying that the 
file isn’t a text file. I assume that this is because when one opens a file in 
BibDesk, it expects a library (.bib) rather than a binary file. Is there a 
different command I could use, or even an AppleScript, that would allow me to 
add a PDF? 

I’m currently migrating from Papers to BibDesk, so this would also be helpful 
for that.

Antonio
