Just some little queries.....

I have been trying to consolidate all my bib files into one big file,  
which is going well. However, I run into trouble when I encounter  
another reference with the same citekey, probably the same paper, but  
possibly with slightly different information, e.g. DOI, or abstract  
included. When the citekey flashes up red, it would be nice to click a  
button to show the offending alternative citation, so that the  
conflict can be resolved. Otherwise, I have to find it manually in the  
main database, open it manually and choose one. Also, if I could at  
that point discard the new import, rather than have to delete it from  
the database, that would also be nice.

Alternatively, if the citekey could show up red in the main database  
view, or with a "duplicate citekey" flag somewhere in the database,  
then I could just drag and drop all the citations from one database to  
another, then click to find duplicate citekeys, and then go through  
and resolve all the conflicts. As it is, I have to do a few at a time.

Secondly, when importing citations from PRL, they have their own  
citekey format. Is there any way to tell BibDesk to impose the auto  
citekey format on imported citations?  Likewise, some way to tell  
BibDesk to consolidate all linked files into the autofile location, in  
case there are some stray linked files which are elsewhere?

Finally, I wrote an rtf template for the preview pane, and wanted the  
DOI to show up as a hyperlink, which was clickable, and would open the  
paper in the journal browser. This works if I write an html template,  
but not with an rtf template. The text shows up as a blue underlined  
hyperlink with the link text changed to the correct DOI, but the  
underlying link is not resolved and so the link is broken.

e.g. <span class="url"><a href="http://dx.doi.org/<$fields.Doi/>">< 
$fields.Doi/></a></span>  in an html template gives me the correct  
link to the journal, but
<a href="http://dx.doi.org/<$fields.Doi/>"><$fields.Doi/></a> in an  
rtf template doesn't.
The link remains http://dx.doi.org/<$fields.Doi>/ rather than 
http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.51.17151/
