Hi,
CCing the list, hope you don't mind.
implemented in the future in a reasonably general way, to accommodate
z39.50 library databases as well.
the option of exporting only certain documents if you have made a
selection.
Somehow remembering which to export through a special tag might be
desirable, although I'm not sure it's a very important bit of
functionality -- why should it matter if there are extra entries in a
bibtex file?
feels like writing a small patch.
documents are always sorted by the order they were added -- it should be
easy to select the last N documents and apply a tag to them all.
It would be nice to be able to do this in the way that you suggest,
could be done using a ComboBoxText in the bibtex import dialog, and the
same in the "Add files" and "Add folder" dialog.
off the internet. It should be fairly simple to add some UI to allow
the user to force this. Ideally it would also include a way to
customise the format, with some kind of "<author><year>" type syntax.
checking beyond this is done. I guess it would need some kind of fuzzy
string matching to compare titles and authors etc.
All sensible points, thanks for the feedback.

According to my experience of using latex and maintaining pdf files, i
have some suggestions
1) i do hope referencer to be able to search Pubmed database as
pybiographic or endnote does.
I've had quite a few people request this. I would like to see thishave some suggestions

2) I found that when exporting to bibtex, it always export all the
items. I can not find a way to export only the items under a certain
tag or selection. I think that would be helpful for mulit-projects.
There is a "Selection" option in the export dialog that should give youitems. I can not find a way to export only the items under a certain
tag or selection. I think that would be helpful for mulit-projects.

3) Maybe the program need a status bar showing some information, such
as the number of items under the current view.
Yes, that would indeed be nice, and shouldn't be too difficult if anyoneas the number of items under the current view.

4) If the program is able to add file or files directly to some tag,
that will be great. Now the process is to add them in the "untagged"
and then to wait user to assign them. But for example, when you
import a bibtex file with tons of items of the same kind (i mean i
want to tag them with the same tag) , there will be a huge work to be
done afterward. Of course, if there is no untagged files, there
would be no such problem. But that needs the users to keep a good
habit.
A workaround for this is provided by the fact that in the icon view thethat will be great. Now the process is to add them in the "untagged"

5) maybe some thoughts about automatically generating keyword just as
pybiographic does
Currently keys are generated automatically only when getting metadatapybiographic does
off the internet. It should be fairly simple to add some UI to allow
the user to force this. Ideally it would also include a way to
customise the format, with some kind of "<author><year>" type syntax.
6) the ability to find duplicated items as Endnote does. It can be
based on a set of information fields (i think bibtex's definition
about required fields for each kind of item is good)
Currently duplicate filenames are checked when adding files, but nobased on a set of information fields (i think bibtex's definition
about required fields for each kind of item is good)
checking beyond this is done. I guess it would need some kind of fuzzy
string matching to compare titles and authors etc.
