Summary: drag pdf to main window to add local-url

Initial Comment:
I find myself trying to add a local-url entry to a
BibDesk entry (one with no associated PDF) by
dragging-and-dropping a PDF from Finder onto the proper
entry in the main window.  Instead of adding a
local-url, however, this creates a new BibDesk
reference with only the Local-URL set.

I would like to see this behavior either changed
entirely or at least a preference setting to control
which behavior occurs for drag-and-drop PDFs.  Perhaps
the behavior could be location-sensitive, so that
dropping a PDF to the PDF icon column had the one
behavior (add Local-URL to existing entry) while
dropping it elsewhere had the other (create new entry).

Dragging and ddropping to the main window is just a bit
faster and more convenient than opening the entry of
interest and dropping the PDF there, especially when I
have several Local-URLs to add.

Cheers!  This application *rocks*.
