BibDesk Troubleshooting ReportPlease ..... - Version: 1.3.14, 1/28/2008 12:00AM PST

The automatic cite key generation is not permiting me to manually change the cite key to anything that I want (either automatically correct (when I choose OK) or enforce the automatically generatged key (when I choose CANCEL)). Please fix that for those times that I want to manually fix the cite key. Thanks .... (This is one of the best programs ever been written).

I cannot wax ecstatic enough to do this program justice. Every time a new version comes out, I am amazed at what seems like application nirvana - then a new version comes out, and is even better! I'm not even being ironic or tongue-in-cheek or anything, this program alone is reason enough to get a Mac (assuming you actually have a use for it, i.e. you're in academia)

Even 1.2 was almost perfect, this version has some cool new features (direct import from PubMed, for example works great for me)
