[Bibdesk-develop] Question about the plist associated with the bdsk-file-1 field

[Arrigo B. <arr...@gm...>]

I want to write a python script that will process a large number of PDF
files, extract the relevant information like DOI, etc and create a bibtex
archive so I can use BibDesk. I understand that the path to the PDF is
stored in the bdsk-file-1 and I was able to decode it with the python code
discussed at https://inkdroid.org/2020/09/03/bibdesk-and-zotero/
The decoded plist has the field: 'relativePath', 'aliasData' where
relativePath is obviously the relative path to the PDF file. I'm wondering
if I should create the aliasData field and what should I put there. I hope
that it's clear what I want to do: to create a bibtex file that BibDesk
will be able to read and work on starting from a large number of PDF files.
I see this for the most part a one time operation just to avoid the manual
creation of thousands of entries with BibDesk. I'm planning to post the
code to github when this project is completed.

Thanks much,
