#1607 Journal field T2 becomes wrongly Booktitle instead of Journal when importing from .ris

[Fischlin Andreas]

BibDesk 1.8.3 (5619)
Wrong interpretation of journal title field T2 when importing a journal article from .ris

If a record in a ris file is of type journal (TY - JOUR, reftype article) the content in ris field T2 contains the journal title and should not be inserted into a field 'Booktitle' but go to field 'Journal'.

I find this bug quite important as ISI Web Of Science seems unable to export proper BibTeX files and has refused since months to fix them as I have requested. Therefore the RIS format export from ISI WOS is preferable, yet causes above problem.

I attach a sample .ris file.

This should be fixed in tomorrow's nightly build

There are some more type dependent tag to field mappings in the newer RIS specs. The next release will have some more and better parsing.
