I am trying to add URL's to a bunch of records (about 100) and I am
looking for the fastest way to do it.
I see the following behavior:
(1) I drag a link from Safari into the attachments well of a record.
The URL field does not change, even if I bring up the contextual menu
in the attached files region where there is now an image of the web
page and select "replace URL." But when I save and quit BD, the URL
field is filled in with the link dropped in. This may happen even
without using the contextual menu; I haven't tested that out.
(2) I cut and paste the URL (using "copy link" from Safari) into the
URL field. No attached web page appears in the attachments pane or in
the main table view until I save, quit, and restart BD.
This is with the latest nightly (. . . 14.dmg)
<snip>
As has been said here many times by now, the old URL fields are not
supported anymore. They are treated just as string fields.
Right, I just want a string to be filled in there because I want that
to be part of the BD record.
But you are right, given the discussion here, I should have been
better aware of the way the URL and attached files fields are related.
Again: you should drag to the file icon view in the side pane.
