I have looked over the Download script but the key line to link the files
doesn't "just work" on my system
My code is here: http://pastebin.com/29Bbe05W
The key lines, I think, are:
*make* new *linked file* with data (theFile *as* *alias*)
*my* linkFile(*it*, theFile)
After my code runs I get the following error message:
{publication id "bdskidentifier://3B137B15-F381-4BEE-BF7D-18B34CD2EF7A" of
document "test.bib"} doesn’t understand the “make” message.
But I realize I may not actually need to link the PDF! pdfmeat.py includes
a field in the BibTeX record:
file={file:///path/to/file.pdf:pdf}
So perhaps I don't need to link something from the old record, I just need
to tell the new record to convert "file" to "linked file", however that
happens...
-k.
