Product Description:

For use with BibTeX and (la)TeX, BibDesk is a GUI front-end for managing BibTeX databases in their original .bib form. Search, organize, and cite with drag n' drop. Publish bibliographies to the web as RSS XML.

What's new in this version:

"About the Scripts Menu" AppleScript now works on Panther and Tiger (why was that so hard?)
Setting the 'local file' through AppleScript no longer crashes BibDesk
Saving in response to closing/quitting with unsaved changes will no longer cause a crash
Open editors now observe changes to macro definitions, so you don't mysteriously lose changes
AutoFile should no longer create a '~' file at the root directory (bug ##1205352)
Minor changes for localizability
Application name is now BibDesk everywhere

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).

Quite possibly the best program ever written - Version: 1.3.5, 5/21/2007 11:23PM PST

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)

great program - great support - Version: 1.3, 1/13/2007 02:56PM PST

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