Well, yes the university forced me to change the name of my home folder.  I 
guess that’s probably the issue.  Is there a way to fix this in BibDesk for 
PDFs?

That is only used by auto-file (i.e. to move the files), not for finding the 
files. What its more relevant is whether the files themselves are where you 
would expect them.

Without any relevant information, there is not much I can say.

I feel like there should be an easy fix for this but I haven’t found it yet. 
The PDFs associated with each entry in my master.bib are not being found 
anymore within Bibdesk.  I checked again in Settings to make sure that the 
autofile folder is still correct.  But the little thumbnail for every entry is 
just a big question mark symbol and the file name is just the entry title 
instead of the naming convention  that I set up (see image).  I have *always* 
had the autofile string set as in the other image.

I found in Window->Orphaned Files that every one of the PDFs in that reprints 
folder is identified as an orphaned file.  I’m not sure what I should do next.  
I tried to “Match” the files but Bibdesk crashes every time I do that about 
halfway through the indexing process.
