In version 1.9.1 (6111) it is suddenly no longer possible to delete an URL from the right side bar. In previous versions it was possible to select the web site shown and then backspace did delete it.

    P.S.: Sorry for the bad title, but it seems can't fix anything once ticket is created. It should read "Can't delete URL from right side preview by selecting and backspace"

      Hej Christiaan,

      Sorry, I downgrade to 1.8.20 as there are too many bugs I encounter in 1.9.1 while I have no time to debug and chase the causes down.

      I just experienced that previously running AppleScripts that worked for years with many versions no longer work as they no longer find any of the attached files (pdf’s). Just wanted to let you know.

      I will file a bug in case you want so later. But right now I am sorry to not have the time.

      Andy in any case, thanks for all the great work you do. I really find it great and I would not know what to do without BibDesk.

      Cheers,
      Andreas

        Then I cannot fix any bugs you may encounter,if you don't report them.

        However, as they are about linked files,I think you may work around the bugs if you set the BDSKSaveLinkedFilesAsAlias hidden preference to true. I think your AppleScript problems may be related to the paths not always being cleaned up completely. You may then later remove that hidden preference when 1.9.2 comes out.

      Hej Christiaan,

      I just wanted to let you know that I have now been working for a few days using 1.9.2. The problems that I encountered with 1.9.1 and caused me to downgrade to < 1.9 are all gone. Excellent.

      Thanks for all your work. Very much appreciated.

      Cheers,
      Andreas

    Delete will work on the focused element. In the main window that may be the main table. So Delete will remove the selected item(s). Using it for the file view is therefore dangerous.

    What I see now, is that the file view never gets the focus. So any action will not be directed to it, including Delete.

    I will force making the view focused when clicked in the next release, so it can receive actions.
