I had to move the directory with all my linked files from one drive to another, which not unexpectedly caused all the links to break. Is there an easy way to relink the bibtex entries and the files (the directory structure is intact, just in a different place)? I looked on the wiki, on the list of applescripts and through the users list archive, but didn't find an obvious answer (perhaps I'm just overlooking it though, in which case a pointer would be welcomed).
If the relative path from your .bib file to the linked files is the same, things should just work. So if you formerly had
~/myfile.bib ~/lotsofpapers and now have /Volumes/bigdrive/myfile.bib /Volumes/bigdrive/lotsofpapersthings should just work if you open up myfile.bib in the latter location. Once you've opened it successfully with links intact, save it in order to update the alias information. After the aliases have been updated, you can move the .bib file back to ~/myfile.bib or wherever you want.
