OK... Now it is getting interesting... I ran the Legecy pdf/ps => file upgrade tool (worked perfectly).
Then I ran "cleanup entries" with all sellected since I have about a thousand or so to spin through... It works fine until the first time it encounters a problem and gives the error: java.lang.NullPointerException at net.sf.jabref.gui.CleanUpAction.doRenamePDFs(CleanUpAction.java:410) at net.sf.jabref.gui.CleanUpAction.run(CleanUpAction.java:216) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:616) at spin.Invocation.evaluate(Invocation.java:181) at spin.off.SpinOffEvaluator$1.run(SpinOffEvaluator.java:114) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:679) then it does not process any more entries. I can go in and process the entries by hand, but with 500 in that one file, and no shortcut-key-fu to down-arrow and thwack, it is going to be a LONG night for the cleanup crew... One thing that also might be helpful is that I learned that I have not migrated all my old archives to the current location and some of the pdf files I reference are missing. So that might be the initial problem, but there should be a trap/catch/whatver-they-call-it-in-java so that one error does not necessarily abort all other processing. hope this helps, EBo -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
