How do I copy attachments to a new library folder?
Posted: Sat Jun 19, 2021 10:34 pm
I am generating a new library (to start a new publication). I would like to copy bibliography entries (drag + drop) and their attachments from across a scattering of other libraries into the new library. The bibliography entries copy with no problem. The attachments ... copy as well but remain resident at their original folder location.
How can I copy citations into the attachment folder of the newly built library? Here is the step by step:
* Select a bibliography entry
* If the bibliography entry has an attachment ...
--> If the attachment is NOT in the attachment folder designated for the library
----> COPY the attachment file to the denoted attachments folder for the library
----> link the bibliography entry to the newly copied attachment (rather than the source)
* Repeat for all (selected) bibliographies
Does a command exist for to make this a one-step process? Should I ask whether someone has an AppleScript to do this?
