hi,
Since JabRef 3.8, I have a problem renaming files: they are move from their directories.

My folder structure is like this:
-> Base directory

  • mydatabase.bib
    ->papers
    -> A (folder)
    - list of pdf files...
    -> B(folder)
    - list of pdf files...
    etc....
    -> books(folder)

Description and steps:
1- Select entries, and then click on Cleanup.
2- Tick "rename pdf according to filename format pattern" (relative or not makes no difference)

3- I expect, as with previous version, that the file will be renamed but will stay in its directory
But now, it it renamed and moved to the same location as my bib file.

Is this normal?

Thanks
