I use User15 for a Location field (my filing location).
Is it possible to remove fields I never use (e.g. Translator, User4) from the Main tab, and put Location on that tab, rather than on the Additional Fields tab?

Thanks,
John

No, you can't move fields between tabs. You could of course repurpose User1 as the Location field (rename it as such in preferences).

User1 is already used as Key when importing/exporting with BibTeX, BibDesk, etc.
That leaves User4, which is off the screen on my laptop and external monitor, so doesn't help either.

Like a lot of people you are using the edit pane to read the references metadata. This is OK, but not what it's intended for. To read the reference metadata you're really better off using the Summary view. And you can configure that any way you like, to show whatever you like in any order. You can edit data in the Summary view as well. Why not try setting up the Concise Summary view? If you have questions I can help.

I wound up repurposing the Translator field to be Location, and used the DB utilities to copy my info over.
I'll have a look at the summary. I didn't realize info can be edited there.
Thanks,
