@Anon Thanks for the tips about the completion.zip file, I hope it works now. As for the .tm file, I suspect you might not have Textmate installed correctly. If you're sure that you do, just open the .tmCommand files with Textmate.

@Julia I'm afraid TexShop, iTexMac and the like don't have this capacity. One of the (many) reasons to switch to Textmate. Or, I suppose if you're a code hipster, you could almost certainly adapt the menu to work in emacs.

in the textmate installation step, when I double-click the .tmComand files, I'm asked what application to use. Any ideas?

Check out Zot2Bib. It makes importing citations from Firefox to BibDesk very efficient.

Glad the dropdown menu is working! I don't think your current error has to do with Bibdesk. Try throwing away all the auxiliary files that appear when you compile (probably everything except your .tex and .bib files). Then compile 2-3 times, then run bibtex, and then compile 2-3 more times -- this should render the references correctly

Textmate can actually automate this annoying procedure. With a tex document open, hit Cmd-Opt-, to open the LaTeX preferences, and check "Use Latexmk.pl." Now, when you hit Cmd-R to compile, Textmate will keep compiling and running bibtex automatically until it gets the references right.

Thanks Brian, I set the wrong path to my .bib file and now the drop down menu pops us nicely.

I am now trying to work out why when I rendered the LaTeX document, no references appear in the bibliography and no citations appear in the text. I got this LaTeX Warning: Citation `someone:2009' on page 1 undefined on input line 77. After running bibtex I got the Warning--I didn't find a database entry for "someone:2009dq".
Do you know if this error relates to Bibdesk or LaTeX/BibTeX not being properly set up?

Thanks

Ok. I can recreate this error message by setting the path to my .bib file incorrectly. Make sure this is set correctly. You may have to close your document and open it again to get Textmate to recognize this change.

In particular, Anon7:20: I bet you have one too many "Jerome"s in the path you specified. Try changing your bibliography command to: \bibliography{/Users/Jerome/Documents/References}

Hi Bryan,

I've got the same type of error as anonymous. After using the tab trigger and selecting the paper I am looking for, I got this:

\cite{2010-03-23 22:17:17.976 BibDeskTMCompletions[18797:613] LSOpenFromURLSpec() returned -43 for application file://localhost/Applications/TeX/BibDesk.app/ urls file://localhost/Users/Jerome/Jerome/Documents/References.bib.

Would you have any idea on what's going wrong?

Thanks

It looks like it can't find an application. Make sure Bibdesk is installed properly, and then make sure it's *open* and in the background when you run your Textmate completion command.
