Re: [Jabref-users] Groups using not possible

[Haines B. <ha...@hi...>]

I've complained several times in another thread, so far no response,
that JabRef 3.4 destroyed the @Comment{jabref-meta: groupstree: section
of my .bib databases. The group tree is present, but has lost all
keywords.

I don't see how this could have happened through my blundering. I can
recover that section from all my databases from a backup when still
running JabRef 9.10 two weeks ago. I did this with a database, but a
major problem remains. If I create a new group, it is not added to the
groupstree, but is recorded somewhere else. Also, creating a link from
an entry to a group creates a link to all groups with the same name.

Please!!! Someone tell me what's going on. Has a new group mechanism
been created? Where is that information being stored? Was it supposed to
recover groupstree data from the .bib databases?

I'll have to create links from entries to groups by entering the
information into the databases by hand, but I worry that JabRef 3.4 will
again destroy that information.
