During the process of creating the glossar nothing is done with
BibDesk. BD is just used for building up the file bib file for the
glossar.
After I inserted the appropriate word and descriptions I only press
command+s. Afterwards I move over to the Latex-file and typeset it in
the following steps:
(1) pdflatex
(2) Glossar engine with:
----
#!/bin/sh
bfname=$(dirname "$1")/"`basename "$1" .tex`"
bibtex "${bfname}".gls
----
(3) pdflatex
(4) pdflatex
Now I have my glossar.
What I want is "just" the combination of these runs within one engine.
