JabRef version
5.7 (latest release)
Operating system
Windows
Details on version and operating system
Windows 11 22H2
Checked with the latest development build
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
When using characters in the citation key or publication title that are unsafe for the file system (such as e.g. a colon ":"), the automatic file renaming replaces those characters with an underscore.
However, the auto-linking feature does not seem to respect this behaviour. After automatically renaming a file with an unsafe character and unlinking it, it is not being recognized by the auto-linking feature.
Changing the citation key to the "safe" string by manually replacing the colon with an underscore makes JabRef find the file again.
Auto-linking files didn't work at all for me in the development version, so I couldn't actually reproduce the behaviour there.
