Hi, I just tried the nightly for the first time in a while, and I was
a little confused by the file migration dialog on the first run.

What's actually changing - will migration move my files on disk or
will it just change the file contents?

I think the dialog should be clearer about what's actually going on.

It now reads:
"Local File and URL fields have been converted to use a more flexible
storage format.  Choose "Migrate" to display the migration interface,
which can show problems and convert permanently to the new format."

I suggest: (assuming I understand it correctly:)

"BibDesk would like to update all Local File and URL fields in your
database to a more flexible format.
Choose "Migrate" to begin the process. No changes will be made yet.
This can also be run at any time from the "Database" menu.
"

The fact that it shows errors and converts permanently can then be
explained in the migrate window.


Also, the menu item for Database->"migrate files" was confusing. I
thought it was going to move files on disk. Perhaps "update File and
URL fields"?

Happy new year,
-mike
