REQUIRED PROGRAMS: -- BibDesk -- TextMate (I have alternate code for TextEdit as well) This script automatically generates a list of sources indexed in your BibDesk databases in Markdown format. As I use Evernote to "host" my HTML notes, I also add the relevant MetaData to export the plain text to Evernote via the Markdown2Evernote python script…

Create Sources Index in TextMate from BIbDesk

tell application "TextMate"
  
	--establish a variable for the line feed (aka LF key)
	set LF to ASCII character 10
	
	--insert the MetaData for export to Evernote
	insert "# BibDesk Sources Index w/ biblio links" & LF & "= !nbox" & LF & "@ BibDesk, Source List" & LF & LF & LF & "**List of Sources in BibDesk Group**" & LF & LF & LF
	
	--get relevant information from selected items in DEVON
	tell application "BibDesk"
		set these_items to selection of first document
		if these_items is {} then error "Please select some content."
		
		repeat with this_item in these_items
			set CiteKey to cite key of this_item
			set itemURL to "x-bdsk://" & CiteKey
			set ItemName to title of this_item
			set FinalText to "[" & ItemName & "](" & itemURL & ")" & LF & LF
			
			--append a Markdown formatted link for all selected items
			tell application "TextMate"
				insert FinalText
			end tell
			
			(* If you don't have TextMate, here's the script for the universal Mac program TextEdit. To alter the code, merely delete or comment-out the TextMate tellblock and uncomment this block:
			*)
			-- tell application "TextEdit"
			-- activate
			-- make new word at end of text of document 1 with data FinalText
			-- end tell 
			
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell
