Re: [Jabref-users] JabRef 3.6 and groups

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

Dear Haines,

meta comment: We moved to http://discourse.jabref.org/ for discussions.

The grouping issue you describe is
https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/1495, isn't it?

The issue on github is https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/1495 -
and I just saw that you reported it.

We are working on a fix. Since we have to earn our money at other
projects, the fix won't be as fast as in commercial projects.

Sorry for the delay and any inconvenience caused!

Cheers,

Oliver
