This is expected behavior (i.e. works as designed). >I understand the rationale for doing this, but is there a way to >keep the old behavior, that is creating a local-url field and >use the url field? And not generating the Bdsk-File/Bdsk-Url fields. No. You can probably set up a script hook to copy the file/URL to another field as a text path. > From the mailing list: >>The Local-Url field is deprecated, and it does not use auto-file >>anymore.

The old format is unsupported as of 1.3.13. Some of the UI is still present (you can display legacy file/URL icons in the main table), but autofile is only supported in the new scheme. >The reason I would like to see this is that when I share the >bibtex file with others it would be a bit odd for them to see >these fields. They're ugly, but they're also ASCII text and harmless in your bibtex file. Non-mac or non-BibDesk users can ignore them, and they should round-trip through subversion just fine. The group information that BibDesk (or JabRef) saves in a BibTeX file looks odd as well, but it's still a valid BibTeX file. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
