Description
Activate following functionality:
- Empty File tab:
- Put "shafiee2016analysis.pdf" in file folder
- Switch to other entry
- Switch back
- File is automatically linked:
"Old" behavior was that "Get fulltext" also searches on disk - but we removed that magic behavior somewhere
Yesterday, I got lost, because I did not know how the auto link feature works. It should be described in the documentation.
