Remove empty entries automatically #9894
Conversation
This defeats the purpose of the dialog. I would rather have an option to automatically always delete them |
The dialog was there to warn about null information being in the library. Is there anyone wanting to keep information that an entry with Back in #8096 (comment), we agreed that deleting the entries is a solution. I updated the PR link to link the issue which explains why empty entries cause a headache: #8645 |
Not happy about this leading to a changed on disk |
Fixed. |
This (now) also fixes #8645, because @Article{,
creationdate = {2022-04-05T10:41:54},
owner = {mlep},
} |
# Conflicts: # src/main/java/org/jabref/model/database/BibDatabaseContext.java
Fixes #8645.
Empty entries IMHO do not contain any information.
Exmaple for empty entries:
With a citation key or any other field, they are not empty:
This PR adds a functionality so that these entries are automatically removed while writing.
Outdated
In case they are removed, JabRef will (udate NOT) issue a warning "changed on disk". I think, this warning is OK, isn't it?
Compulsory checks
