Hello,
I'm using Bibdesk 1.3.19 on MacOS 10.5.6. I have a rather large .bib
file with a little over 600 entries. I am trying to restore the links
in my bibtex citations to locally saved PDF files. I understand that
Bibdesk versions 1.3.13 and higher use new file fields that appear as
'Bdsk-File-N' where N is a number. For example, in my .bib file I
have the following entry:
@article{WoutersTabbersPaas2007,
Author = {Wouters, Pieter and Tabbers, Huib and Paas, Fred},
Date-Added = {2008-10-25 17:45:09 -0500},
Date-Modified = {2008-12-10 17:36:37 -0600},
Journal = {Educational Psychology Review},
M3 = {10.1007/s10648-007-9045-4},
Number = {3},
Pages = {327--342},
Title = {Interactivity in Video-based Models},
Ty = {JOUR},
Volume = {19},
Year = {2007},
Bdsk-File-1 =

Bdsk-Url-1 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10648-007-9045-4}}
However, despite the presence of this field it now fails to link to
the locally-saved PDF. The location of the PDF has not changed.
There is also a phantom icon in the side bar with a question mark that
has the correct file name but does not actually link to the PDF. This
has happened for most but not all of my bibtex entries.
I have tried using the "fill the Local-Url field with the first linked
file" script on the wiki but was unsuccessful in restoring the links.
I'm not quite sure how to proceed in troubleshooting this problem.
I'm hoping to avoid a tedious manual task of re-linking each file.
I've been a heavy Bibdesk user for two years. I would appreciate any
help in getting closer to a solution.
Thanks,
Will
