Pity, but no big deal ...

... since of course I am using BibDesk as well.
I just opened some .bib files in TM when I was testing a BD nightly  
version.
(And I sometimes use TM for some find-and-replace stuff in my .bib  
files, but BD has improved so much that this is very rarely necessary.)

I just thought I should mention this because TM provides code folding  
and it would be nice if it worked correctly in BibTeX mode as well.

Thanks for the quick reply,
Matthias
