Some codes (notably Fortran and C++) require a case-sensitive filesystem for compilation and/or operation. You can usually work around this using a case-sensitive disk image, but it's tedious. > First my repository folder is not located at the same point in the file > systems tree on the two machines.

Does your synchronization software require you to use a different folder name for some reason? Your symlink solution should work, but most people should use the same folder name. As long as you ensure that the relative path from the .bib file to your papers folder OR the absolute path to the papers folder is the same on either machine, it should just work. Since HFS+ is case-preserving, even moving between case-sensitive and case-insensitive filesystems should work, but I'd be less confident in that. > 2) In case something goes wrong, I wrote an AppleScript "Fix PDF and URL > Links" that can fix many things, e.g. repairing broken links and/or adding > missing linked file URLs in the right-side pane by searching within the pdf > repository folder for files satisfying my naming rules. Under what circumstances do you need to run that? If you encountered a problem that trashed your file links, that would be good to know. > 3) The only difficulty I have not been able to overcome in an elegant manners > is the attempt by BibDesk on my MacBook Air to access the other big machine > during launch.

Do you have any afp/smb/nfs links? Maybe resolving the fileID first triggers this behavior; I don't recall how that's done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
