Try this:

Imports System
Imports System.IO

Module Test

Sub Main

' Its assumed the new folder already exists
Dim sourceDir As String = "c:\current"
Dim destDir As String = "c:\new"

Dim oldPath1 As String = Path.Combine(sourceDir, "abc_1.pdf")
Dim oldPath2 As String = Path.Combine(sourceDir, "pqr_1.jpeg")
Dim oldPath3 As String = Path.Combine(sourceDir, "xyz_1.txt")

For i As Integer = 1 To 20000

Dim newPath1 = Path.Combine(destDir, "abc_" & i & ".pdf")
Dim newPath2 = Path.Combine(destDir, "pqr_" & i & ".jpeg")
Dim newPath3 = Path.Combine(destDir, "xyz_" & i & ".txt")
File.Copy(oldPath1, newPath1)
File.Copy(oldPath2, newPath2)
File.Copy(oldPath3, newPath3)

Next

End Sub

End Module

Huh. I understood attachment view to simply be the box under the library list. I must be wrong. (Wouldn't be the first time!) I'd LOVE a different way to do it!

Here's a bunch of shots of what I'm doing. (in reverse order == )

Step 1: find reference

Step 2: Go to JSTOR, find reference, download PDF

Step 3: Sente doesn't think I have the reference.

Step 4: Sente can't identify the reference

Step 5: Look it up on Google Scholar for Sente

Step 6: Sente sees the reference on Google Scholar, but doesn't recognize it as one I already have.

Step 7: Add new reference

Step 8: voila. 2 references, one with PDF, one without.

Boy, I really hope there's an easier way!

Thanks
