There's a pre-alpha build of BibDesk with the new file/alias support at

http://homepage.mac.com/amaxwell/.Public/BibDesk-aliases-alpha.dmg

This is a snapshot of current development work.  I'm honestly unsure  
what works and what doesn't, but it is guaranteed to be buggy.

  *** Don't use this on your bib file without a backup ***

I disabled saving, but save-as will still work.  Something to try:  
save the .bib file under a new name, close it, then move your papers  
folder elsewhere using Finder.  When you reopen the new file, the  
Local-Urls will be invalid, but the files themselves should still be  
visible in BD.

You should also be able to move the .bib file and papers folder to  
another system and open it up, as long as the relative path from  
the .bib to the papers folder is the same.  I haven't tried that  
personally.

Please don't nitpick the UI right now, but crashes and exceptions are  
of interest.  If you think a feature is missing, check the context  
menu (control-click) or main menu, since lots of things have changed.
