Long author list is truncated about ads2bibdesk

use_bibtexabs=True.

Thank you very much. It works.

Yes, it does. If long author lists are truncated, I cannot find my name from the BibDesk search field. Having 100 to 1000 authors is quite common in my filed.

I see. This does sound like a legitimate reason to get it fixed.

Does it make a difference though? When citing, journals truncate it to just first 3 authors anyway...

If you use bibtexabs format here, you can get the full list in the exported bibtex entry. However, as I noted in the comment there, it needs the newer version of ads, which has not been pushed to PyPI (its entry there has not been updated for years).

In short, I likely won't change anything for now since it needs a dependency update first. But if you really need the fix, you can hack it locally: get the latest ads and flip the line mentioned above to use_bibtexabs=True.

@mkounkel.. that's very true...
