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 On 26 Sep 2014, at 13:01, Ken Mankoff <[email protected]> wrote: > Drag and drop does this.
