Thanks, it is all clear now. The way I read the info,somehow, did not seemed to answer my problem.

Why don't you just look in the Help menu? Many useful links pointing to the answers. Short answer (that has been mentioned a gazillion times now, hence my pointer to the archive): auto-file is not supported anymore for local-url fields, only for linked files in the linked file pane.

Hi!

A bit of a newbie here and I desperately need help. I have a problem with the autofile feature with bibdesk 1.3.18.

Let's say I add a new entry to my bibliography.

I download the paper and is in a temporary folder. Say the file URL is /Users/SomeUser/Desktop/SomePaper.pdf

I drag&drop the local-file URL in the field.

Usually, the autofile feature kicks and points towards the new organised file like: /Users/SomeUser/Documents/Papers/SomeAuthor/ SomeTitleCiteKeyUniqueNumber.pdf

But now the local file URL always remains the one in the temporary folder, file isn't moved or renamed according to the rules.

If I force Bibdesk to organise the file, the file is indeed organised but the Local URL address in Bibdesk still points in the old file in the temporary folder. Hence the program thinks the file is lost since the link doesn't work anymore. Very practical.

I do not know if this a problem with Bibdesk or if this is a problem with Mac Os. I double-checked the authorisations and everything seems ok (read and write for me and the admin).


Thanks a lot for you help!
