Happy Holidays. I just checked in a new version of refdb-mode. Changes: RFE #864364 - provide control over which fields appear in dataset output Enhancement: Added new functions refdb-select-data-output-format and refdb-select-additional-data-fields and corresponding new menu items 'Select Output Format' and 'Select Additional Data Fields'. Those control the value passed to the 'refdcbc -C getref -s' option, and so enable you to control which fields appear in data output -- either the default fields, all fields, IDs only, or a user-customizable set of additional fields that appear in addition to the default fields. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RFE #865638 - Add "show version" feature Enhancement: Added new function refdb-show-version and corresponding menu item 'Show RefDB Version' for displaying version information both for refdb-mode and the version of refdbd that refdbd-mode is running against. |

One minor issue: If I run a query, the output ends up in a buffer called *refdb-output*. This automatically uses the ris mode and all, so I'm basically all set to edit and update references. However, the RefDB menu item is gone in this buffer and I have to manually switch it on again. Is there anything you can do about this? regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka mar...@ca...

Yeah, I'll set it up to automatically put the refdb-output buffer into refdb-mode. The only downside to that is, the way I currently have things set up, I think that will mean that every time you run a query and it returns output, Emacs will re-initialize the database list and rebuild the RefDB menu, which (on my machine at least) takes a couple of seconds to do. I had it set up before to build the database list only once at Emacs startup, but changed it because it seemed like bad design to have it slowing things down at Emacs startup. --Mike |

Yeah, it can't. I thought about this last night and realized it'd be simple to do. I include the change next time I check in. --Mike |
