Re: [Jabref-users] importToOpen option

[Oliver K. <ol...@us...>]

Dear Thomas,

as far as I understood you correctly, the first import starts JabRef
(which was not opened before) and the second one should reuse that
instance.

The trick for that situation is to enable "Remote operation" in
Options>Preferences>Advanced.

Cheers,

Oliver
