erm, yeah... after adding the filename to the file field, the database of course
needs to be marked as modified...

i should really write some decent access functions for interacting with the
database... then this wouldn't be a problem. but for now, just change the
function below to:

(defun ebib-pdf-file-name ()
 "Create a pdf file name of the basis of the current entry key.
The file name is inserted in the file field of the current entry."
 (interactive)
 (ebib-execute-when
   ((entries)
    (if (gethash 'file ebib-cur-entry-hash)
        (beep)
      (puthash 'file (concat "{" (car (edb-cur-entry ebib-cur-db)) ".pdf}") ebib-cur-entry-hash)
      (ebib-set-modified t)
      (ebib-fill-entry-buffer)))
   ((default)
    (beep))))

this only adds the line (ebib-set-modified t), which tells ebib that the
database was modified.
