bibdesk2zotero's Introduction

bibdesk2zotero

This is a little utility for rewriting a BibDesk BibTeX file so that it can be read by Zotero with the file references intact. BibDesk and Zotero mostly get along except for the way BibFile stores links to documents like PDFs. This utility Base64 decodes all Bdesk-File paths, parses the serialized plist, extracts the relative path to the file and adds it back to the bibliographic entry as an absolute path.

Install

pip install bibdesk2zotero

Use

$ bibdesk2zotero citations.bib /path/to/pdf/files/ > new-citations.bib

bibdesk2zotero's Issues

Lacking support for reading from stdin and unneeded repetition of bib path

Hi!
I was using this tool and I found it very useful! I've found that it did not support reading from stdin (I tried also with /dev/stdin as the input file) and it forces users to specify the path to the BibDesk file two times: the file paths are relative to it, so the path can be guessed by taking the parent directory of the .bib file.

I've forked this repository and implemented those changes: would you be interested in a pull request? My version uses argparse (the standard Python library) to parse options and has the following usage string:
bibdesk2zotero [--help] [--out OUT] [--path PATH] [database]

If you are interested in a PR but prefer to change something, let me know!
