[OS X TeX] Bibdesk choose fields and automate

[Maarten Sneep]

Hi,

Now I see what you mean. BibDesk is a good GUI for manipulating 
bibliographic databases, it is not a command-line tool.
I've added some comments, as this is never going to work.

Practically all tex-related tools expect to be run from the same 
directory as the main tex file.
bfname=`basename "$1" .tex`
pushd `dirname "$1"` # this may be superfluous, as TeXShop probably 
does it for you already

bibtex "$bfname" # will actually act on "$bfname".aux, but _must_ be 
called without extension.

You might want to add some checks in between to make sure each step was 
successful before proceeding to the next step.

See above.

Yes, see the FAQ pointed out to you a few days ago. And please, do some 
basic reading on TeX systems, the "Not so short…" introduction has a 
section on how to actually run the tools from the command-line (IIRC), 
which is a prerequisite for writing engines and shell scripts.
