General file directory ignored

[tobiasdiez]

Dev version JabRef 5.1--2020-04-23--bbea7df

The General file directory (specified in Library Properties) is ignored. Files are now saved by default in the same folder as the bib file, and already linked files that are placed in the General file directory are no longer found.

@calixtus could this be a result of your recent refatorings?

(Sorry don't have time right now to investigate).

Did you make sure to not check the preferences "Use bib file as primary location"?
That hast precedence over all other settings

[tobiasdiez]

Yes, it's not checked and I didn't change any preferences (at least I'm not aware I did).

[calixtus]

Did you change something in the LibraryPropertiesDialog?
I see no other possibility where I came close to that, but I quickly double checked. I don't see any obvious mistake. I'm sorry, but I can't test tonight, I have to look into this deeper tomorrow.
