Re: [Ebib-users] Configuration of Ebib with ebibrc

[Phil a. M. C. <pan...@bi...>]

Hi Joost,

Here is a copy of the *Ebib-log* buffer with a bib file loaded:

Ebib log messages

(Press C-v or SPACE to scroll down, M-v or `b' to scroll up, `q' to quit.)

28 Sep 2015, 20:42:05: Opening file ~/fh-phil/Book/bib/othersources.bib
62 entries, 1 @STRINGs and no @PREAMBLE found in file.
Using general keyword list.

No mention of a keyword file, just a keyword list. Should a file name appear here? The keywords appear in red; so it seems that Ebib is not finding either a keywords list or a keywords file.

If I press K (to try to save the keywords) I get this message in the mini-buffer: Wrong type argument: consp, nil.
