You can grab the icon from the title bar of the Preview/ Skim window - that way you get to the file wherever it is (you dont have to worry if it's a temporary folder) - and drag it directly to the entry in bibdesk. (You can do this from any Mac application, also right clicking on the icon in the title bar shows its location in the filesystem). It will then autofile from wherever it was originally. So that skips steps 5 and 6.
