I strongly prefer the relative-to-bibfile implementation. I keep both
my .bib file and my papers folder in a Subversion repository, which I
may check out to a different location periodically.
I also have concerns about the new system with regard to
cross-platform compatibility and human readability. The current
system makes it quite easy to open the .bib file in (for example)
vim/emacs/Notepad and extrapolate from "local-url = {}" to find the
referenced file by hand. That doesn't seem possible with the proposed
ASCII-armored Mac OS X alias. Is that correct, or am I
misunderstanding?
By the way, since this is my first post to the list, I'd like to thank
everyone on the BibDesk team for producing an amazing piece of
software.
