#1268 Comand line export with File field
When exporting from the command line, some formats work, others do not. The offending tag is "File".
Here is a minimum bib file:
@Article{ostgaard2002,
Title = {Energy},
File = {ostgaard2002.pdf:ostgaard2002.pdf:PDF}
}
If I do
jabref -o /home/lbnc/bib.html,bibtexml -n true /home/lbnc/win7/work/lit/citations/test.bib
the export is good. If I do
jabref -o /home/lbnc/bib.html -n true /home/lbnc/win7/work/lit/citations/test.bib
I get
Opening: /home/lbnc/win7/work/lit/citations/test.bib
Saving: /home/lbnc/bib.html

Could not save file '/home/lbnc/bib.html': null</init>
For
jabref -o /home/lbnc/bib.html,endnote -n true /home/lbnc/win7/work/lit/citations/test.bib
I get
Opening: /home/lbnc/win7/work/lit/citations/test.bib
Exporting: /home/lbnc/bib.html
[]
Could not export file '/home/lbnc/bib.html': null
If I remove the File tag, all exports work.
jabref -v

I should maybe also mention that the export from the GUI works fine.
