[Bibdesk-users] applescript w groups

[Derick F. <sp...@df...>]

Hi
I've worked up an Applescript to produce a calendar view as was  
requested a week or so ago, but I'm running into one problem: I can't  
actually add selected publications to a group.

Here's the approach I'm using:

tell application "BibDesk"
	tell document 1
		set targetGroup to make new static group with properties {name:"temp"}
		set thePublication to publication 1
		add thePublication to targetGroup
	end tell
end tell

which returns the following Applescript error: "BibDesk got an error:  
An error of type 6 has occurred."



I also found a problem with Applescript access to smart groups.

tell application "BibDesk"
	tell document 1
		set targetGroup to group 5
		publications of targetGroup
	end tell
end tell

(where group 5 is a smart group containing 20 items)
returns all the publications in the document, not just the ones  
included in the group, i.e. it doesn't respect the search conditions  
for the group.

Many thanks to the developers for adding group Applescript  
access....hopefully the adding and smart group read issues will be  
easy to fix.
