In the case of bib file, why don't you add a popup saying: > "import on the current selected database" or "open as a new database"? I agree that this could be something to consider. > 3. In the case of ris files, JabRef has several problems. After > importing a ris file, it shows several (20 or more) entries (!!!) > instead of just one as expected. In version 2.6 it was all OK.

Can you > reproduce this problem? Yes, I can see that the RIS importer is completely broken. It was patched before the 2.7b2 release, and this patch (in addition to what it was supposed to do) moved around something in a way that messes up the import process. I'm committing a fixed version in the beta_2.7 branch now - it would be great if you could check if it works for you now. -- Morten |
