Thanks! Very useful. It definitely doesn't work here (1.6.22 (4794)). Where can I get the nightly?

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}) { } Christiaan 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. Christiaan I’ve added some sample JXA script hooks on the Wiki. Christiaan
