Michel, I don't quite understand what you mean by a utility that could change the path in the "file" field. If you have relative paths in the links in the "file" field, these don't need to change if you change the main file directory. Could you show me the content of the "file" field for an example entry where the link doesn't work (open bib file in a text editor and copy the relevant entry)?
