Link a directory to entries

Help
1

Dear all,

I would like to link a directory to an entry. Of course, JabRef should launch a file explorer when opening the directory.

My idea is to keep everything related to the entry in this directory: the main file(s), notes, etc.

I haven’t found a way to do that on the UI. If I edit the file field outside JabRef and put the directory name, it works but then I have troubles with rename rules.

IIRC, it was working on older versions but I might be wrong.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu

Just wanted to know if somebody has an idea on that.

What version of JabRef are you using? What older version was working?

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

I’m using version JabRef 5.15--2024-07-10--1eb3493 (from brew). I’m sorry but I can’t remember what version was working: it was several years ago so I would say around JabRef 3.

Just to be clear: I initially configured JabRef to put linked files in a specific subdirectory of the main directory (with the key as pattern) so files end-up in Content/[bibkey]/[bibkey].ext but I would like to link the directory Content/[bibkey]/.
