Hi everybody
I got a problem with referencer. Below you will find the content of the
problem as posted on the referencer launchpad site. If anyone got an
idea how to resolve that - I would be very grateful.
I got kind of a large overall problem. Perhaps it is a bug, yet I don't
know. Here is what I did:
I installed referencer from the ubuntu software-center (Natty, Unity).
Then I linked PDF's to referencer to administrate my library and have an
easy and quick access to my literature. A feature I like (according to
promised program features) is the automatic retrieval of literature info
(journal, pages etc.) - but that does not happen...
When I link the pdf - the only data that are taken out of the pdf is the
doi and places the pdf-name as title (as it seems). When I try to
retrieve information (even with correct paper title) nothing happens -
the information in the referencer remains the same. Even if I give more
info like (the correct) year and author, the information are not
retrieved from the net. What is the problem here? (I use VPN-connection
to my university. Access to ISI is possible when I manually access
documents.)
I already tried to purge and reinstall referencer --> no change
whatsoever in behaviour.
After that I tried to retreive metadate explicitly from ISI by clicking
the respective button in icon bar. The answer was (translated from
german):
____________________________

The terminal output is:

virtual bool PythonPlugin::doAction(Glib::ustring,

The for curiosity I clicked on the Lyx button. Answer there (translated

Exception: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>

Terminal output was:

Oh, and btw I have this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/referencer/+bug/494684 too. Yet, I don't know
how to install the code provided as a patch in that post. I'm just an
ordinary user --> I would need some explanation on how to install such a
patch.
Thanks for your help
