It should also parse the .tex file and figure out what .bib file to open, as well.  No guarantee of reliability though :).

That's odd.  It tries repeatedly for 10 seconds to establish a connection to BibDesk, which should be plenty of time.  That message is only displayed if the connection fails but some version of BibDesk is running, so the assumption is that it's an old version.

If you can reproduce that, please follow up with me off-list so I can fix the problems if possible.  I only use it occasionally these days, so it doesn't get much testing on my part.

Even valid BibTeX is really hard to parse correctly, unfortunately.
