    Hi,
    I have limited knowledge of programming but from a pure user level a great feature would be able to drag and drop exported citation files e.g. ISI, RIS type files, into JabRef. Is this easy/difficult?

    Jab Ref is great software! Keep up good work.

    Cheers

      There is a patch by John Zedlewski that adds improved drag-n-drop facilities. I'm not sure if it does the operation you describe exactly, but it does handle auto-downloading and import if you drag a link to a citation. I'll have to check if it handles a dragged file similarly.

      This patch may make it into the 2.1 version. If not, it will be integrated in the version after that.

      The patch is available at: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1505790&group_id=92314&atid=600308
