[OS X TeX] [ANN] BibDesk 1.1.8

[Adam R. Maxwell]

The BibDesk development team is pleased to announce that BibDesk  
1.1.8 is now available for download at <http:// 
bibdesk.sourceforge.net/>.  We have some major new features in this  
release, and hopefully they'll be useful to new and old users alike.   
Numerous bugs have also been fixed, including our top reported  
crasher (crash when closing an editor window).  Thanks to all who  
sent in crash reports with notes, and provided feedback on our  
nightly builds!

As always, please file bug reports at <http://sourceforge.net/ 
tracker/?group_id=61487&atid=497423>, including exact steps to  
reproduce.  Many of the bugs we fixed in this release came from user  
reports, and we appreciate the time it takes to file those.  The  
complete list of changes follows.

Changes since 1.1.7

New Features
   *  BibDesk can now search contents of associated files (Tiger  
only); see online help for details
   *  Can now choose whether (some) custom fields are added by  
default in Defaults preferences
   *  Script Hooks:  AppleScripts can now be triggered by certain  
user interface actions.  See the online help and preferences for  
details.
   *  BibDesk now supports a group feature for easier viewing and  
categorization of references
   *  Fancier drag image for dragging from the main publications list
   *  Editor now has a split view for editing rating and boolean fields
   *  If a search is active when you open a linked file, the  
application opening the file is sent the search text (used with  
Preview.app on Tiger)
   *  Script menu now supports submenus, and examples are provided.   
You can also open the scripts in Script Editor by holding the option  
key when selecting a script.

#1314311)

sorting (bug #1308021)

   *  Fix crash when trying to customize the editor toolbar with  
buttons missing
   *  Sort order is now preserved even when you quit without first  
closing a document (bug #1326190)
   *  Attempting to use the font panel no longer raises an exception  
(bug #1328784), even though the font panel isn't really useful in  
BibDesk...

closed the editor window (bug #1315916)
   *  Selection is now preserved in the citekey field if you save

now fixed, and less stringent in defining duplicates

faster)

is active
   *  All images displayed in the main table are interpolated at high  
quality
