Re: [Jabref-users] auto complete link to file format other than .PDF or .PS

[Christopher O. <oe...@oe...>]

Hi Michael,
   that clarifies it. I actually have a patch that does exactely what yo=
u  =

want (make auto work for all file-types), but since it is experimental, =
we  =

did not want to include it in 2.1.

If you check out CVS you can activate it yourself by modifying the  =

ExternalFilePanel.java

Change the line:

   String found =3D Util.findPdf((String) o, fieldName, dir, off);

to

   String found =3D Util.findFile(getEntry(), null, dir,  =

".*[bibtexkey].*\\.(pdf|html|txt|ps)");

or generally

   String found =3D Util.findFile(getEntry(), null, dir, ".*[bibtexkey].=
*");

Greetings,
   Christopher
