Dear Christiaan, What's returned by mathscinet has changed again so BDSKMathSciNetParser.m has to be modified again. In this version https://sourceforge.net/p/bibdesk/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/bibdesk/BDSKMathSciNetParser.m of the source code, line 117 and 118 should be modified, because the correct query string is now of the following form https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/api/publications/format ?formats=bib&ids=4085669,4123456,... and what's returned by the query is now a json list of the following...

Thanks. Yes, this version works only if one use the old version MathSciNet at https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/2006/mathscinet. Should be an ad hoc solution for me.

No, I am not familiar with developing with xcode. Instructions from https://sourceforge.net/p/bibdesk/wiki/BuildingFromSVN/ on how to build is a bit vague, I didn't get an excecutable app after building. Can you say more in detail the configurations?

Great. There should be a simple solution because they kept their old version of the website with a slightly different url: changing the line 120 of BDSKMathSciNetParser.m NSString * URLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://%@/mathscinet/search/publications.html?&fmt=bibtex&pg1=MR&s1=%@", serverName, queryString]; NSURL * bibTeXBatchDownloadURL = [NSURL URLWithString:URLString]; into NSString * URLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://%@/mathscinet/2006/mathscinet/search/publications.html?&fmt=bibtex&pg1=MR&s1=%@",...

Maybe you could point out which part of the source code deals with processing information on various websites (MathSciNet is one of the built-in web of BibDesk Web group), I can take a look to figure out a solution. Alternatively I could send you their current website information that you'd like to know to fix it. Please email me if convenient.
