 BibDesk uses the Bdsk-File-\* and Bdsk-Url-\* fields to save location information for linked files and linked URLs, respectively. These are the linked files and URLs that appear as icons on the right-hand side pane of the main window and the detail window. Files are now stored using Mac OS aliases, so you can move them in the Finder without breaking BibDesk's links.

-If you need to translate those fields from their Base64-encoded format into a plain-text format that is readable by another application such as JabRef, you can use an export [template](Templates) such as [this one that puts the first linked file into the the Local-Url field](https://bibdesk.sourceforge.io/templates/minimalBibTeXWithLocalUrlTemplate.bib).

+## Installing BibDesk
+
+### BibDesk will not launch!
+
+After (re)installing BibDesk from a download, sometimes the system refuses to open BibDesk, instead showing the message "“BibDesk” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." When this happens, go to your the Security &amp;amp; Privacy in your System Preferences, and in the General tab make sure you "Allow apps downloaded from:" "App store and identified developers." Then, navigate in Finder to BibDesk.app, probably in your Applications folder, and Open BibDesk from the contextual menu in the finder UI, and Accept the opening of BibDesk. After this, you should be able to launch BibDesk normally.

 Then open BibDesk and select File-&amp;gt;Open Using Temporary Cite Keys. After it opens, it is recommended to generate cite keys to replace the temporary ones. Then select File-&amp;gt;Save As (cmd-shift-S) and save the file under a new file name.

 NB: Open Using Temporary Cite Keys creates a temporary file, so if you cannot just use File-&amp;gt;Save (cmd-S) to save the file. 
+
+Alternatively you can use an output style. You find such a style [here](http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/How_to_write.html#TeX). Once that output style has been made available to EndNote make it active and either export selected references to a text file that you name as a bib-file and open in BibDesk or use the clipboard (choose menu command "Edit -&amp;gt; Copy Formatted" and then paste into a BibDesk window).

 You need to use the hyperref package, and the url environment to get properly encoded URLs in LaTeX. 

-The underscore is a special symbol for math in LaTeX, hence it wants to enclose it in dollar signs, as in &amp;lt;source lang="latex"&amp;gt;$x_A^2$&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt;. For bibtex, just loading the hyperref package is not enough.

-If you put the url in a command like &amp;lt;source lang="latex"&amp;gt;\url{www.test.de/bla_58}&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt; \- then hyperref kicks in and does its work.

 In order to have the URL actually appear in the reference, you can either put it in the "Note" field of your item or you can to use an entry type like webpage, url, online or so. 

-The bibtex style (bst file, specified in the &amp;lt;source lang="latex"&amp;gt;\bibliographystyle{}&amp;lt;/source&amp;gt; command) you are using must be aware of the BibTeX-type "webpage" and know what to do with "Lastchecked" or "Url". This is done by http://purl.org/nxg/dist/urlbst

 It seems that natbib also supports by default URL and doi.
