Hi Everybody.
I just installed BibDisk 1.3.18 this morning and I'm trying to migrate my Endnote 6.0.1 library. I followed the directions in the Wiki [1] and they were very straight forward. I have run into one major snag however. My endnote library has ~2000 entries, and skimming the endnote exported text file (briefly) with TextEdit suggests the export was successful. However, when I import into BibDesk Using Temporary Cite Keys, the resulting library only has 94 entries. I looked in the FAQ and the mailing list archives and I didn't see anything relevant. Am I making some obvious rookie mistake or is something screwy with Endnote? Thanks for any help you can provide. jh [1] http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ#How_can_I_import_a_databas e_from_Endnote_to_BibDesk.3F -- John E Hayes PhD Center for Alcohol and Addictions Studies Dept of Community Health / Brown University Box G-S121-4 Providence, RI 02912 [hidden email] / 401.863.6629 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users |

Importing using temporary cite keys tries to fix that, but that does not always work. Though BibDesk should warn when it fails. Alex Montgomery has a better bibtex export style that you might want to use instead of Endnotes buggy built-in one, see <http://people.reed.edu/~ahm/Projects/Citation/Endnote/Styles/ >.
