I didn’t touch my settings since a while, only upgraded to 4.0 recently.
Just to add my today’s experience to this post, since I was looking on forum for this issue. I couldn’t find any information on whether the intended behavior has changed.I assume, it’s related to what the ChangeLog describes as “The entry editor got a fresh coat of paint: Completely new interface to add or modify linked files.”.From Jabref 4.0-beta2 – the issue occurs.Jabref 4.0-beta – works fine just like the version before.It’s still there after restarting Jabref. This file information is not stored in the bibtex file. Opening via context menu (General tab -> File -> Context menu “Open”) works.They are “somewhat” added in a sense, that they now appear in the file field, but are not written to the bibtex file and in the entry table, the entry gets no file icon in the file column of the table.That is, most of the time! However, for the very same entry and files, files are suddenly “somwhat” added when in Preferences I change the option from “Autolink files with names starting with the Bibtex key” to “Regular expression” or back.In the entry tab, File, Icon “Get fulltext”: when I click on it, the “modern hourglass icon” appars.(The following also holds for files having the same name as the bibtexfile and being in the same folder.).What is strange and what makes me think it is a bug: But these particular settings don’t seem to be the issue. My setting is “Autolink files with names starting with the Bibtex key”. “Automatically set file links (F7)” does not work with Jabref 4.0圆4 on Win10.I analyzed the issue a little further (see below). PS: If I change the Main file directory to …\Documents\Literature (so where the bib file is) then it works, but then I can’t access any more the files that are in Documents and its other subfolders…
So at the moment I set the file link manually being not very practical.ĭo you have any ideas, why have now this problem? Was there a change in the software? How can I solve this problem? I hoped that this would change with installing JabRef 4.0 but unfortunately it didn’t. The search is started and I get the typical little “searching window”:īut the file is never found, even after 30 min or more. However, since some months the automatic file link function (F7) doesn’t work any more for me. I have been using this constellation for years in JabRef and never experienced problems.
#Bibdesk links to local files pdf
In the JabRef Preferences -> File -> External file links, I put following Main file directory: …\Documents (one level “above” the bib file, because I have also other pdf files in “Documents” and further subfolders linked to that bib file)Īddtionally I have chosen the option “Autolink only files that match the BibTex key” My bib file is in the folder …\Documents\LiteratureĪ pdf to link is for example in …\Documents\Literature\pdf\pdf2017
