No, we never compare a path to a URL. that would obviously not work, as you note. Also a mismatch would not lead to an error message. The error message should only occur when the file from the Local-Url field could not be found. I explained how this could have happened in my other mail. If the linked files exists in the blue view there is no problem. > Speaking of which, I don't recall having added the ".pdf" at the end > of the key, which sometimes caused the key to end with two dots (one > for the end of the title, and one for the extension). Any way to fix > that, and only have one? No. A period is a valid character, so there is no option to remove it. Also it is probably preferable to use %e instead of .pdf, in case you even want to link a file of another type.
