#1622 Certain TeX constructs aren't cleaned from file names by Autofile
Some TeX constructs don't get cleaned from file names by Autofile, leading to file names which — while apaprently valid for OS X — create synchronisation problems with Dropbox. Two which I've found are:
-
Joshua Epstein's book Agent_Zero. The BibTeX title field is "{Agent{_}Zero}", and the resulting file name using "First Author + '/' + 15 words of title + Unique Number + Extension" yields a filename containing "Agent_Zero" .
-
A paper by the author María Sáez-Martí, which had the BibTeX author field as "{Mar{\'\i}a S{\'a}ez-Mart{\'\i}}" yielded a filename containing "Mart\i".

Here’s a workaround, for the record.
In cases where a relevant field has TeX code which isn’t (or won’t be) caught, put into that field a clean variant of the text before adding the local file. Autofile will then use the clean variant text when adding the file and constructing the name. If the entry is then edited afterwards, the correct TeX code can be put into the field as BibDesk doesn’t modify the file name after the fact.
