Dear Christiaan, The problem was fixed by our school adviser on computers. He first checked that, after creating a new user, he could use BibDesk normally on this account. So the problems had to be in the fact that the new Mac had imported from a back up disk some setting configurations from the old Mac. Indeed, after throwing out some of the setting files, we could run BibDesk normally.
I thought you would like to know how the problem was settled, and that I am happy to be able to use my .bib files again! With my regards, Jean-Paul. > On 5 Apr 2023, at 23:42, Christiaan Hofman <[email protected]> wrote: > > I find it very strange you get this problem.
