bibtex format and filters and bookends update 10.2.1

Post by jeremie »

hello,

I use bookends for bibtex (import and export), and it works great, but the initial configuration of the filter has some errors (easily adjustable) :
for instance :
  • - "Proceedings" instead of "InProceedings", in format manager
    - or the conference name that is imported in "Volume number" (which is wrong) from a bibtex file, but exported in "Booktitle" (which is correct).
I did those modifications of the configuration, BUT with the last update, they have been removed (about 20 corrections... not so much time to do it, but a little bit;-)

Do you know how to save all those configurations (for import and export filter), and do we have to do this before ANY update ?

thanks a lot

Hi,

You should not edit an existing filter/format and leave it in the Bookends 10 folder. If you do you'll lose it on update.

You should actually create a new filter based on the one we provide and rename it (e.g. BibTeX revised), in which case it will be moved to ~/Library/Application Support/Bookends/

which is safe.

Alternatively, you can edit an existing filter and move it there yourself.

BTW, I'd really like to have your modified BibTeX filter to include your corrections!

Thanks,

Jon
