Hi Stefanie,Thanks for the info. But I already know about this auto scan function and, actually, I'm using this functionality all the time. The problem is that if an entry already has a linked pdf that I've added via the auto scan function and then would like to add an external URL then the URL is listed first. But if I do it the other way round, i.e. first adding the URL link and then adding the pdf, the URL link stays at the first position. So the internal sort order of entries in the file field seems to be URLs first and then PDFs. But I always want to have PDFs first, independent of the order of how I add the links. This way by hitting F4 the pdf opens immediately. So far I haven't found a setting/way for determining the sort order within the file field.

You save a lot of problems if you can use the "auto" function to link to local PDF:s instead (they have to be named "bibtex key".pdf). If you need to move your JabRef installation you only have to change the link to the main PDF directory and all links work instantly.

It seems that the default sort order in file links is that URLs come first and then PDFs. But I would like to have the PDF (if present) first and then the URL. Is there an automatic way to sort the order of the file links in the file field? Because so far I have to do this by hand. If no - this would be a very helpful feature! Also, if I wanna add a file link then automatically a browse dialog opens as well. This is great if I wanna link a file. But if I want to add a web link, in my case the ADS entry, then I first have to close the browse dialog again. I know that this was added as a feature in version 2.5 beta: "When adding new local file link, browse dialog now appears immediately when opening file link editor, saving one mouse click." But if you want to add a web link, this is rather annoying. Can I switch this off? If no - this would again be a great feature. - Marcel [1] http://adsabs.harvard.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
