#213 Bibfile export with PDFs

[Lutz Ißler]

Export function that writes a .bib database for the
selected entries PLUS copying the associated PDFs to
the specified export directory. (That great function
would allow me to export a bib database for working on
papers on my laptop, preventing me from forgetting to
copy some PDFs...)

To clarify this feature request a bit, allow me to reformulate it. I want JabRef to copy the PDF documents for the selected entries from their respective location to the folder specified. It would be nice, but not a must, that JabRef checks whether the files are already there to speed up the operation.

Of course this could be done by exporting the selected entries to a .bib file, then extracting the PDF documents' file names from the .bib using grep, and then letting a script copy all files to some output folder. Nevertheless, having the functionality directly in JabRef would be great.
