Category: Interface Improvements Group: BibDesk 1.0 + Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Michael McCracken (mmcc) Summary: use an external webbrowser for importing Initial Comment: I find it very clunky to use the web browser built into bibdesk. it feels out of place in the interface, it's squeezed in in space (usually I find myself scrolling left and right even with the rather tiny font it gets rendered with) and it causes me to lose my place in what I'm doing in the main window. Although I don't have a detailed report on this, I also find that the only times I run into crashes are when I'm using this feature. It also feels like a lot of wasted complexity for a redundant feature that we all have (a browser). Lastly I often find myself with the same page open in two programs, whether it's because I didn't think of bibdesk until after I started my lit search on the web, or because I need more powerful web-browsing features (ranging from tabs to simple readablility) What to suggest is not clear to me. Would it be possible to get Bibdesk to be in on the game whenever I'm looking at an appropriate page (google scholar, etc) in my browser of choice? Perhaps this could be via a "push" from the browser, some kind of bookmarklet or applescript? Better would be to have bibdesk "pull" the content from the browser when you click a button on bibdesk. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=497426&aid=2845331&group_id=61487 |
