Here's a simple applescript that should do what you want, just copy it in
AppleScript Editor and run it (you may need to undo some line wrapping from the
mail):
tell application "BibDesk"
set thePapersFolder to (papers folder & "/")
tell document 1
set thePubs to publications
repeat with thePub in thePubs
set thePub to contents of thePub
tell thePub
set thePath to thePapersFolder & cite key &
".pdf"
set theFile to POSIX file thePath
tell application "Finder" to set theFileExists
to (exists theFile)
if theFileExists and (POSIX path of linked
files does not contain thePath) then
add theFile to beginning of linked files
end if
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell
