BibDesk Bugs

An update about some bugs found in BibDesk by a particularly astute beta-tester (Thanks, Michel Durinx):

  • Citation Service: using a key with a nil value crashes BibDesk.

    eg.select "
    Year=
    "
    and try to use the complete-citation service, and it'll crash BibDesk.
  • Adding a field to a bib may remove the text in some other field (ouch!)
  • BibDesk allows you to create new fields that are not legal BibTeX.

    An example is "foo bar". BibTeX doesn't allow spaces.
