Hello, I recently did an orphaned file search since my my mac had messed up some files and created duplicates of some of my pdfs after some home folder permissions issue related to a cloud storage folder. I quickly wanted to find the duplicates but unfortunately Bibdesk didn't find only those but gave me an entire list of the hundreds of skim files that sit in the same folders (I automatically save those Skim note backups with the pdfs). So here my question: Thanks, Jan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

A workaround: When you choose to autofile, BibDesk seems to move the PDF and the corresponding Skim file. So what you could do is temporarily change the folder files get filed to, autofile all publications in your database, and delete the remaining files in the old folder. Then change the autofile location back to the old setting and auto-file all publications once again to move them back. Might want to turn off the cloud syncing part while doing this.

Though an approximation could be to use the search field with the term ".skim" and check "Hide Matches" from the search menu (clicking the looking glass icon).

That's a great workaround. Thank you! On Mon, Mar 16, 2015 at 3:59 AM, Christiaan Hofman <[hidden email]> wrote:
