Not sure I like losing the full paths. This is because my Cite Key + Autofile works with authors and journal names, e.g. Smith2004-EJC for an article by Smith in Europen Journal of Cancer.
This scheme works well with 75% of my lit (articles), but does not work for working papers (which I tag as techreport), books, incollection book chapters, etc. So I need to see paths to correct them when I attach a working paper or book contents. (Of course the problem may be with my Cite Key + Autofile method, but I do not know how to make it conditional, e.g. Author+Year+(either) Journal Initials (or) Book Initials (or) Institution.)
