All,

Two of my favorite issues in BibDesk are the autofile feature and the
"Send via Email" features.  Recently I ran into an issue where when
certain citations were selected the "Send via Email" silently failed.
This turned out to be because the associated pdf filename was

"Sax D & Gaines S 2003 Trends In Ecology \& Evolution.pdf"

Getting rid of the slash before "&" fixed the issue.

My autofile format string is: %A[ & ][ ]3 %Y%u0 %f{Journal}30%e

and I have selected "Clean by removing Tex".  This produces the above
file for the citation:

Sax DF, Gaines SD (2003) Species diversity: from global decreases to
local increases. Trends In Ecology & Evolution 18, 561–566.

To summarize, some of my journal names have "&" in them which is
escaped as "\&", which is subsequently in the filename when using
autofile.  These files then cause "Send via Email" to fail.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a work around?

Thanks

Peter
