Sorry to hear you're having problems with it. Problems are more likely
to be fixed if you file a bug at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=61487&atid=497423 and provide
a sample .bib and exact steps to reproduce the problem. Your
description above only provides FUD.
If you are referring to @string support, BibDesk does not presently
support the use of macros, which is a major limitation for some people.
Work is under way on this, but the lead developer is waiting for his
PowerBook to get fixed.
regards,
Adam
