BibDeskToWord suddenly inserts whole bibliography from BibDesk #3

Open jangall opened 8 years ago

Hi there,

Firstly, thanks for this awesome tool! I have used BibDeskToWord a lot in the past to have my references inserted into Word documents. Recently, it started to insert my entire bibliography file from Bibdesk and I do not understand why. Could there be an incompatibility due to version updates? I am now using BibDesk Version 1.6.5 (3713) and BibDeskToWord 0.17.

I'd be grateful for your help!

Thanks! I have just noticed this issue of inserting the entire bib as in text citations-- I am using BibDesk v1.6.5 (3713) and Word 14.5.4. Will see what can be done.

Which version of Word are you using?

jangall commented 8 years ago

Great, thanks so much!! I'm using Word Version 14.3.6 (130613).

@jangall: Okay, the error seems to be with appscript - bibdesk integration. The issue is ln512 of BibDeskToWord.py where the 'templated text' bibdesk applescript command is called. This is where fetching the in text citation from bibdesk using the cite templates happens. Maybe a recent bibdesk update broke this functionality.

Thanks! The downgrade to the previous BibDesk version solved the problem for me.

@jangall : Excellent, good to know. Which previous BibDesk version works for you?

jangall commented 8 years ago

It's Version 1.6.4 (3536) that works for me

ackman678 commented 8 years ago

BibDesk v 1.6.4 fixes it for me as well.

templated text seems to be broken in BibDesk 1.6.5 for other scripts as well. I have filed a bug report with the BD team.

ackman678 commented 8 years ago

Excellent, thanks for filing that. Same on my end... templated text applescript functionality broken with BibDesk 1.6.5 but not 1.6.4 with all scripts.

Christiaan has fixed it in the latest BD nightly build, though I am sticking with 1.6.4 til an official release is out. He was quite stumped since as far as he could tell nothing had changed in the AS code, but he was able to replicate it.
