New custom URL schemes x-bdsk: and x-bdsk-search: for linking individual items and search groups, respectively
BibDesk deals with metadata in a way that makes sense and makes it easy, but most importantly, makes the metadata relevant. (Sorry about the emphasis overuse.) We've (or I've) been ignoring keyword fields for years, wondering "what's the point, really?", even though it can help for searching quite a bit in certain circumstances. But the new BibDesk will (in real time) organise and sort bibliographic entries by arbitrary metadata, which for bibliographic entries is most usefully keywords. [...] Keyword groupings will be populated as you add keywords to articles, and keywords will be added to entries that are dragged into they keyword folders.
