Hi, I have found this thread from 2012 on the same topic: http://sourceforge.net/p/jabref/mailman/message/28841652/. The workaround is rather complicated.
As I said, using a directory in 'file' works (at least with 2.10b2 under Ubuntu). I guess it's because of the use of MIME types but the UI kind of hides it.
