Thanks! Very useful.

It definitely doesn't work here (1.6.22 (4794)).

Where can I get the nightly?

Best wishes,
Mah

Hi,

I would like to know where I can find an example of a script hook written in 
JavaScript.

I have tried things like this to no avail:

functionperformBibDeskActionWithPublications(pubs, scriptHook) {

}

The function code runs, but no value is loaded in the parameters.

Thanks,
Mah

I haven’t tried using JXA script hooks, but I think they should work. Though it 
could be JXA hangs BibDesk, because of bugs with JXA (that Apple says aren’t 
bugs but just how it works), that will be fixed in the next release.

I am not an expert on JS, but shouldn’t it be:

function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(pubs, {forScriptHook:scriptHook}) 
{
}

Here is the JXA version for the sample script hook:

function performBibDeskActionWithPublications(thePubs, { forScriptHook : 
theScriptHook }) {
var theName = theScriptHook.name();
var theID = theScriptHook.id<http://thescripthook.id/>();
var theField = theScriptHook.fieldName();
var oldValues = theScriptHook.oldValues();
var newValues = theScriptHook.newValues();
var theKeys = [];
for (var aPub in thePubs) {
theKeys.push(aPub.citeKey);
}
var app = Application.currentApplication();
app.includeStandardAdditions = true;
app.displayDialog("Name: " + theName + "\n" + "ID: " + theID + "\n" + "Cite 
Keys: " + theKeys + "\n" + "Field name: " + theField + "\n" + "Old values: " + 
oldValues + "\n" + "New values: " + newValues, { buttons : ["OK"], 
defaultButton : 1 });
}

It works for me, at least with the current nightly.

I’ve added some sample JXA script hooks on the Wiki.
