Create "File Magic Wizard" #380
Comments
This issue was recommended as part of our course “software engineering” from the university of Basel, and we decided to work on this issue. But there are insecurities if we understood the issue correctly (especially the first point). So, we would like to clarify if our interpretation captures the meaning of the issue. The File Magic Wizard allows the user to download all files from a library to the local computer of the user without creating dublicates in the target directory.
Thanks in advance! |
Please think of a researcher having a .bib file with 1000 entries and 850 PDFs on his hard disk. He wants to be "quickly" be able to manage that chaos. Example:
"file attached" means that the BibEntry has a (DOI could also be another identifier. Go into the code of JabRef and learn about document downloaders) When executing the file wizard, the result is as follows:
Log contains INFO entries on the actions done. Your first assumption does not hold as JabRef does not (or seldomly) stores the URL location (typically) Can you craft an exmaple with concrete BibTeX entries A to H and respetive files or would you need support for that? You find some bib entries at https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/master/src/test/resources/testbib/jabref-authors.bib. You should find some existing test case in the source when searchign for In other words
Another exampleThe use case is an existing library, which should be quality-improved by JabRef. Think about a Now, the user has nonono clue, if a PDF is linked in the bib file. It is important that the Wizard can be rerun and the wizard (seems to) rember the old state. I especially remind on VDI 90, S16.ff:
(even though the text there describes a slightly different scenario. Nevertheless, I want to do some quality control on the process. Don't have the time to handle 4500 PDFs in one run) |
The issue JabRef#4652 describes an improved UI for displaying unlinked files. |
We keep the distinction between online search and local disk search. No File Magic Wizard will appear. |
When having a large libraries, a user wants to have all possible PDFs auto-linked to the respective bib entry
