A workaround:
When you choose to autofile, BibDesk seems to move the PDF and the
corresponding Skim file. So what you could do is temporarily change the folder
files get filed to, autofile all publications in your database, and delete the
remaining files in the old folder. Then change the autofile location back to
the old setting and auto-file all publications once again to move them back.
Might want to turn off the cloud syncing part while doing this.

Hello,
I recently did an orphaned file search since my my mac had messed up some files
and created duplicates of some of my pdfs after some home folder permissions
issue related to a cloud storage folder. I quickly wanted to find the
duplicates but unfortunately Bibdesk didn't find only those but gave me an
entire list of the hundreds of skim files that sit in the same folders (I
automatically save those Skim note backups with the pdfs).
So here my question:
Is there a way to have Bibdesk in the orphaned file search only show pdfs or,
more specifically, an option to ignore skim-files as long as a pdf with the
same name exists?
Thanks,
Jan
No, there's no way to do this.
