Automatic Sync between database and .bib file

Post by Nhaps »

I use LaTex, and was wondering if there's a way to automatically sync my .bib files with my database/library. This would be ideal, in order to avoid having to update a record twice. I know Mendeley provides this feature. If not possible, can BE automatically export a given folder to bibtex format every time within it is updated? That would do the trick

No, writing out the BibTeX file would be too slow. You can do this yourself at any time, of course, with Biblio -> Bibliography.
