Re: [Jabref-users] JabRef, Subversion and PDF directory

[Thomas A. <tho...@us...>]

You could check out the latest revision of JabRef from the SVN 
repository at Sourceforge. As of revision 3449, JabRef supports an 
option to specify a user- and host-specific file directory in the 
database properties. This allows each user of a particular database to 
store her/his personal path setting in the database. It furthermore 
allows the same user to specify different paths on different computers 
(must have different host names).
