It's called "Default Fields Preferences", with short version "Fields". I changed that a while ago because "Defaults" is really non- descriptive and the preferences where all about field names and types. This also was true for this particular preference, because it was a preference that determined how a local file field was opened. >> It's sort of borderline whether this is an Application preference or >> data preference at all, > > No, it's a system preference and doesn't belong in BibDesk at > all...but I lost that argument :). >> but the current place is really obscure, and >> with 12 different preference panes, things really need to be in one >> of >> the first 3 places one would look for it. > > Note that typing "PDF" in the preference search field would have > given you 4 locations, and "viewer" would have shown you the correct > one. > >> General or Preview under App preferences? >> Definitely not Preview, as that's for the TeX Preview only. If you think Preview does not send that message, you'd have a point, and perhaps it should be renamed. >> Separate Data Preference?

Personally, I would rather side with Adam and remove it all together than moving it to the General preferences. As it's really an advanced preference that arguable should not be there at all, there's a strong case to make it hidden. As an aside, the email format pref could perhaps better be moved to Citation?
