I have a large bibliography with linked pdfs on my mac which I manage with BibDesk. It is on Google Drive and I want to open it in JabRef on my linux laptop. Will either of these managers affect fields that are specific to the other? e.g. might JabRef cause me to lose the pdf links that BibDesk uses?
Perhaps I should (git) version the whole directory...
bibdesk.bib
andjabref.bib
? You can easily include both and have no worries.
