Hi all Since I have to leave Mac OS X, I'm also forced to abandon BibDesk (which, by the way is a really great tool). Naturally, I want to keep my BibTeX database with the associated PDFs. As useful as these encoded aliases are on Mac, they don't work on any other platform, so I created a small utility which decodes those aliases into absolute paths. The tool is very crude (first-time I tried myself at objective-c coding, you see), but does the job for me. Once converted, it's easy to adjust the file references through search-and-replace. In case others want to profit from it, the source is available from here: http://gist.github.com/651532
Cheers, and keep up the excellent work. I'm still waiting for such a great reference manager on Linux.
