I must admit first that I have stayed at Bibdesk 1.3.12 because I'm sharing my .bib file with others who don't want Mac aliases in it. So far this hasn't caused problems, but I am beginning to think I should get on with the program... So,
1. Main question: is there a simple edit I could make to turn off the aliases and stay with the old "Local-Url" method of filing? (I'm willing to compile Bibdesk if necessary.) 2. Subsidiary question: while at it, would it be possible for me to switch from having, *written in the .bib file* a Local-Url like file://localhost/Volumes/Home/FZ/Documents/Archive/<etc>, (**) to something more portable -- i.e., a path relative to the .bib file (../../Archive/<etc>) or to my home dir (~/Documents/Archive/<etc>)? -- and only translate to (**) on display? That would ease the process of using the same .bib file and archive on a server where I don't control ~'s parent directories. Thanks for one of my most-used programs, Francois Z. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
