Hi,

There's an interaction problem between BibDesk and Dropbox which causes
BibDesk to lose its link to files stored in Dropbox if those files are
annotated on computer #2 while BibDesk is running on computer #1.  If you
later save the library in BibDesk on computer #1, the link will be changed
to a temporary file which will disappear in a few days.

I've reported this problem to the BibDesk developers, but they expressed
concern that my approach to solving this problem might cause problems for
other users if they have moved their PDFs.  Full details of the problem and
my proposed solution are available here:
https://github.com/GrahamDennis/BibDeskWrapper

If you're experiencing this problem and would like to help test my
solution, please download BibDeskWrapper.app (http://bit.ly/18ewabY).
BibDeskWrapper is a simple wrapper around BibDesk which modifies its
behaviour to fix the problem.  BibDeskWrapper and BibDesk can be updated
independently, so using BibDeskWrapper doesn't prevent you from getting the
latest updates to BibDesk.  For information about getting AppleScripts to
work with BibDeskWrapper see here (

).


Regards,

Graham Dennis
