1)You can just specify the full (or relative) path to a single bib
file instead of placing a copy in every directory. All my .tex files
specify \bibliography{/Users/ahm/Papers/All} for the bib. Or you can
place a symbolic link (from Terminal: ln -s /Users/ahm/Papers/
All.bib .) instead of the usual finder alias in the .tex file's folder.
2)Any added smart or static folders go on top of the field folders,
so they won't get in the way. Alternatively, select "No Field" from
the top of the left pane and it won't display any.
