Thanks Christiaan. I noticed they were not in human-readable format when I opened the file with a text editor. However, when I asked it to Convert File and URL Fields it complained about a few and showed the Local-url field as a readable (and fixable) field, so I thought perhaps there is something that I did not understand.
Back to doing these manually since the relative paths will not stay the same. With recent Dropbox change of not following symlinks from the Dropbox folder, I had to move things around to get them synced. Thanks again. ==Tamer > On Dec 26, 2019, at 03:42, Christiaan Hofman <cmhof...@gmail.com> wrote: > > They are nit fields, at least not in the running app. And when they are > saved, they are not in a human readable format. > > Probably the best you can do is move back the files.

You broke all three of them. > _______________________________________________ > Bibdesk-users mailing list > Bibdesk-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
