Description
Already present since 3.8 or so.
Specify a file directory pattern. Allows grouping of literature (linked files) by type or any other pattern
JabRef will move files according to that pattern and create directories for that,.
e.g. a file dir pattern of entrytype will result in folders: article, book, etc... with the linked files of all article bibtex entries.
Pattern syntax is same as bibtexkeypatterns
