Just now, the BibDesk quit unexpectedly, and I lost 50+ records that I spent 3 hours working on ... (Yep, I should have saved first ... but I didn't.) After restared the program, everything worked fine again (no broken link). It might be due to my system, but I am still reporting it anyway: The BibDesk program had been on for 3+ days. Gradually, it became more and more unresponsive, and finally decided to call it a day to quit. :-( JT On 9/24/05, Adam Maxwell <ama...@ma...> wrote: > > On Saturday, September 24, 2005, at 09:15AM, Jung-Tsung Shen <jushen@gmai= l.com> wrote: > > >1.

As a side note, I'm more careful about committing my bib file changes to CVS, after one developer build left me with an empty file. Send me the crash report to look at, also; it should be in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/BibDesk.crash.log. > >It might be due to my system, but I am still reporting it anyway: > >The BibDesk program had been on for 3+ days.

If you get a beachball, you can sample to see what's slowing it down, and use activity monitor to check the memory usage. It really depends on what you've been doing, and how large your file(s) are. For instance, I just discovered that dragging a large number of items from Reference Miner caused memory usage to go through the roof (fixed), so some of the problems are really specific to certain usage patterns.

On that note, I put together My First Applescript to make checking in my master bib file (rcs) a bit more regularly. It doesn't perform the initial commit (ie, the file has to already be under version control), but seems to work fine with files that are already in RCS. Maybe someone can comment and let me know if it seems safe for wider use? If so, I'd be happy to link it from the scripts page of the wiki. -- check in active bib file to RCS tell application "BibDesk" set docName to name of window 1 set docPath to path of document 1 end tell display dialog docPath default answer "log message" set rcsMessage to (text returned of result) do shell script "ci -l -m\"" & rcsMessage & "\" " & docPath -- end -Alan |

Just as a random thought, how about an optional autosave function that saves your .bib files to a temporary file every so often so if we get a crash they can be recovered? Doesn't need to be fancy with auto-recovery or anything. -AHM On Sep 24, 2005, at 10:05 AM, Adam Maxwell wrote: > > On Saturday, September 24, 2005, at 09:51AM, Jung-Tsung Shen > <ju...@gm...> wrote: > > >> Just now, the BibDesk quit unexpectedly, and I lost 50+ records >> that I >> spent 3 hours working on ...

It saves your document in the same directory as "original name (Autosaved).bib" and reopens it after a crash (and cleans it up if you quit/close safely). Question for users: does this need to be a preference? If not, what seems like a reasonable default time interval?

Gary, In your last message, there's an file attachment with name "smime.p7s" ... Not sure what it is. Don't think there will be any Windows users on the list, but would like to point out in case someone somehow uses Windows to get emails. JT On 9/24/05, Gary L.

Can you send me (of= flist) a .bib file that exhibits the problem? After rebooting the laptop, I haven't been able to regenerate the problem. It might be due to the tight memory on my laptop after a couple of days' working and several programs opening (although they were all closed when BibDesk quit.). Anyhow, I will try to get a screen capture should this happens again next time, and for the moment, leave the "icon broken" topic to the archive. A configurable autosave in the preference would be great. Thanks. JT |

Ah, I thought it might be some kind virus. I always open the virus on my Mac to "analyze it for fun". They usually don't harm Mac, but could do damages to Windows if opened on Windows.
