To see if I understand this: with the latest nightly build, things should work the way I want, right? By "the way I want" I mean that I can drag a doc or URL icon into the editor window for the bibtex entry in question, and the proper icon will show up, and, in the case of a local doc icon, the doc itself will stay put. >> I assumed (without thought or reason) that the defaults >> would be "harmless". > > So on reconsideration, your reasoned belief is that we have "harmful" > defaults? Ouch :). See what you get for assuming? As you note, I did change one, so it's hard to blame it fully on the defaults :-} And, of course, if it weren't for my assumptions, I wouldn't get to communicate with you guys :-} Thanks for the help!
