And more precisely: the *first* time is automatic (i.e. the first time
*all* the necessary fields are filled in). After that, you have to do
it yourself. When not all fields have been filled in and it's waiting
to automatically auto-file, you will see a little icon in the status
bar of the item window. When you don't see the key, it either just
automatically renamed the file(s), or you have to do it manually.

I think you misunderstood Christiaan's answer. Files will be renamed,
but you have to manually trigger an "Auto File" command. At least this
works with my setup, which is very similar to yours.
Example: I file all papers at a fixed location ~/Documents/Work/
Paperlib und use the following Format String for the file format:
"%f{Cite Key}%n0%e". The cite key is generated with format "%a[-][]22-
%y%U1" but I think this is irrelevant for this discussion.
Whenever I change something in the BibTeX fields that affect the
Citekey and hence the path for auto filing, I press Cmd-K to update
the Citekey and then Cmd-Shift-K for filing the files to the correct
place. This renames all linked files.
Best regards,
Christian

Yes. Autofiling is scriptable, and you can add a script hooks for
field changes.

Is this something that could be scripted? Not that I am the one to do
it, but I am willing to bet it is.

Do we plan what as a feature? The situation is as I describe, and that
won't change in the future.

Do you plan to include this as a feature or is it not possible at all
to do this via BibDesk.

Autofiling will typically wait till all the necessary fields are
supplied. However, after the file has been autofiled it won't do it
again automatically, and you'll have to do it manually.

[Bibdesk-users] Renaming files used with AutoFile
Hi,
I am using AutoFile with the Option "File papers in a fixed location".
This location is set to ~/Documents/Papers. "File papers
automatically" is set. My Local File Format is set to custom with "%b/
%f{Cite Key}%n0%e".
For general purpose the AutoFile works excellent and when I finished
set up an entry and drag the pdf to the editor window the pdf is
correctly renamed and filed to the right directory.
But would it be possible the rename the file automatically when the
cite-key changes or when the file is draged before a cite-key exists?
Thanks in advance
