If it isn't in the works already, I'd like to add a quick feature, namely, autogeneration of labels based on set filters or expression patterns. I was going to do this anyway, but it seemed to make more sense to simply use your parser as a jumping off point.
Anyway, assuming I get it to work, I have two questions:
1 - Do you have suggestions of how to implement it within your framework instead of just a one-off for me?
2 - Is this something you would be interested in including (i.e., do you want to take a look at this implementation?).
Anyway, thanks for the great work.

Thanks for your feedback! I assume by labels you mean the key for referencing entries? It's been the intention to include autogeneration of these in the program, so if you'd like to do that, it would be great to implement it as part of Bibkeeper.
I don't have much time right now (I'm going away for Easter), but let's discuss this when I'm back next week.

Provided I didn't misunderstand you, the autogeneration of labels is something we're interested in including in the program. I'm visualizing a menu entry in the program for autogenerating keys for all new entries (entries that don't already have keys), and probably another for regenerating all keys. Alternatively, the program could have an option to autogenerate a key for an entry once it is complete (when all required fields are set). The rules for generation could be set in the preferences or a separate dialog.
Is this is more or less what you had in mind?
About how to implement it within Bibkeeper, that shouldn't be too difficult, but I'm not quite sure where to start. If you've started working on this, it might be easiest if I could have a look at what you've written. Otherwise, I could try to put together a skeleton to serve as a starting point for putting your algorithm into.

I'm back again.
