This seems a great functionality, but I recently tried it and it did not
work.
You meant dragging and dropping the aux file onto the BibDesk window the
main table with entries, correct?
When I do this either nothing happens, or, when one entry is highlighted
the aux file is added as external file to that entry. What am I doing
wrong?
