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"?
