Re: [Ebib-users] new feature?

Hi Petro,

Thanks for that clarification. The following function does what you want:

============================================================

(defun ebib-pdf-file-name ()
  "Create a pdf file name of the basis of the current entry key.
The file name is inserted in the file field of the current entry."
  (interactive)
  (ebib-execute-when
    ((entries)
     (if (gethash 'file ebib-cur-entry-hash)
	 (beep)
       (puthash 'file (concat "{" (car (edb-cur-entry ebib-cur-db)) ".pdf}") ebib-cur-entry-hash)
       (ebib-fill-entry-buffer)))
    ((default)
     (beep))))

============================================================

I'm not sure if I'll include this in Ebib, so it's probably easiest for you to
put this into your ~/.emacs. As it is, the function can be called with M-x
ebib-pdf-file-name, but you'll probably want to bind it to a key. You can do so
in ~/.emacs as well, with:

(ebib-key index "D" ebib-pdf-file-name)

(Choose any key you want, of course.) Note: the function is meant to be used in
the index buffer (which I assume is what you want). In order for this key
assignment to work, you'll need to load ebib in your ~/.emacs, not autoload it.
So instead of the autoload line as explained in the manual, just put the
following in ~/.emacs:

(load "path/to/ebib.el")

You'll need to specify the correct path, of course.

Best,

Joost
