Hi,
How do I upgrade my BibDesk?
I have a fresh download of MacTeX_Additions + TeXLive-2006.dmg (full...)
on a MacBook Pro.
In the BibDesk menu:
BibDesk -> About BibDesk
Version 1.2.10 (v483)
Then:
BibDesk -> Check for Updates...
BibDesk is up to date
You have the most recent version of BibDesk.
In the BibDesk Preferences -> General I have checked up
Check for updates automatically
But, you are announcing BibDesk 1.3.
Regards,
Roussanka
