Thanks Christiaan. I am more than happy avoiding the private methods, as it
allows me to avoid extra source!
But I a, not sure how to add files to the localURL as you mentioned. I have
tried opening up the .bib file, and adding entries like
Local-Url = {/...path...pdf}
localURL = {/...path...pdf}
Those dictionaries appear when viewing through bibdesk. But a re-save does
nothing to create the corresponding BDSK-File entries.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!
