What about the naming convention? I really like the fact that all my PDFs are named by Author+year+title. This allows me to find pdfs via spotlight/finder easily without having to run bibdesk everytime. Could this system autofile several files and gives them a name such as: author-year-title-1.pdf author-year-title-2.html author-year-title-3.jpg etc... instead of Bdsk-file-1.pdf, Bdsk-file-2.html etc. ? It would be really useful this way. Otherwise I think I would (personally) keep using the old Local-Url system.
