Re: [Jabref-users] Usage of EndNote format

[Oliver K. <kop...@gm...>]

Hi,

We're trying to increase test coverage of the code and trying to
ensure that functionality does not break when upgrading JabRef. Less
code means less tests. :-)) Surely, we try to keep our swiffer away
from functionality demanded by users.

Is it possibly that you provide us with examples in the old EndNote
format? We checked with the X7 version of EndNote, which seems to be
capable to import the old format, but not the new RIS format.
The old format are still text files, not some binary formats.

If the provided example includes the "accession number", we can try to
convert that to BibTeX.

Cheers,

Oliver
