On this topic, I was thinking of putting in a feature request along
these lines: Having an export option that tarballed (or zipped, or
whatever) selected or all references, along with attached PDFs, in
such a way that someone else could open up the library and have the
PDF links "just work."
Thoughts? Endnote (finally) introduced this feature in 10.0.
