What's happening?

  • Apple-m marks entry instead of minimizing

    Hello, On OS X, Apple-m is the universally used shortcut to minimize a window. In JabRef 2.4.2, it instead is used to mark an entry. Can I suggest that Apple-Alt-m or something else nearby is used to mark an entry instead? Using Apple-m is nearly as common as using Apple-c to copy or Apple-v to paste, so really it's better not to break this usability feature. Thanks, Lars.

  • Comment: Broken pipe error

    Bingo! Using the different output driver on the command line compiles it cleanly. To be sure, I got it into a state where normal compilation fails every time (instead of non-deterministically). From this state, it also worked cleanly without errors. Thanks Jonathan!

  • Broken pipe error

    I keep getting the Broken Pipe error. It didn't worry me too much when it went away the following time I reran xelatex, but it's becoming more persistent for me now. I'm running xelatex through the most recent texlive (2007?) for OS X. I use English and Japanese in this (rather large) document. I couldn't reproduce the error in a small example which used Japanese and Chinese. Log output...

  • Use abbreviations for book title field

    Journal abbreviations are already available. I would suggest to expand their applicability to the booktitle field as well, since @inproceedings references are often used for conconference/workshop proceedings in particular, and typing each out in full separately is neither fun nor good for accuracy. Thanks, Lars.

  • Comment: Entry table columns such as "journal or booktitle"

    Hello, I second this proposal. This would make Jabref much more usable for workshop and conference papers in particular, which are much more prevalent in some fields. Regards, Lars.

  • Comment: Can't default to UTF-8 encoding

    Aha, the root of my problem. I'd installed the new copy from the web site without removing the old one. Now Version 1.3.12 (v940) is working fine. Thanks for your help!

  • Comment: Can't default to UTF-8 encoding

    Ok, I wasn't using the latest version, but now I'm running Version 1.3.8 (v856) and still getting the same problem.

  • Comment: Can't default to UTF-8 encoding

    Ah, you are correct. My apologies for opening a bug report. I'm still getting a strange message when I try to open files independently: The document “all.bib” could not be opened. BibDesk cannot open files in the “BibTeX” format.

  • Can't default to UTF-8 encoding

    In the open dialog, you can choose encodings, and select which to list. However, there's no way that I can find to set UTF-8 (or any other encoding) as default. I tried removing Western (ASCII) from the list, but it still shows up, and remains the default. Basically what it means is that you can't ever open a file directly that's not ASCII encoded, since it will assume the wrong encoding and...

  • Comment: Import rpy wrong in Django

    I get this same behaviour. It looks like I'm running the same specs (R 2.4.1, Python 2.5.1). Any ideas for a workaround?.
