Hi Robby,

Thanks for the new release (and congratulations).

I will try to upload the package tonight before I go on holiday in Devon
and Cornwall for a full week tomorrow morning. Hopefully 1.3.3 will make
it to Lenny in time.

Thanks again,

Regis

Does not seem to work for me :-(

This is what I tried:

* open the abstract of a typical article in firefox, e.g.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.76.115419
* Switch "Article Options" to "View Citation(s) in BibTeX"
* Press "Go"
-> the bibtex file is opened directly in firefox
* drag the URL line from the browser onto Tellico
-> Tellico does not react at all :-(

-- When I drag the same URL to the KDE desktop, KDE asks for a file name
and then saves the URL itself into that file (instead of the bibtex content)

-- When I do the same from KDE konqueror, Tellico does not react either.

-- When I drag from konqueror to the KDE desktop, KDE does not ask for a
filename but instead saves the bibtex content to a file with a default
name. However - that filename does not end in .bib

-- When I drag that file without ending to Tellico, Tellico does not
react at all.

-- When I rename that file to end in .bib, and drop it on Tellico,
Tellico finally imports the article.

So, may it be that tellico expects the URL to end in .bib? In that case,
it will not work for many of the common journals that offer bibtex
export but use a URL without a file ending.

Furthermore, it seems that firefox does drag-and-drop differently than
KDE... :-(

Perhaps, Tellico could just accept plain text per drag and drop and
determine the type of the data automatically? That way, one could just
drop a snippet of a bibtex file on Tellico to import that reference.

Of course, in that case, it should also detect if the plain text does
contain a URL which should then be opened and imported.

Wow - this is getting messy... :-(

Greetings,
Norbert

Thanks for poking at it. :) Tellico asks for the mime-type from the url and
expects it to be text/x-bibtex or application/x-bibtex for bibtex files. So
even it it doesn't end with .bib, if the http server reports a mimetype, it
should work.

For your example, when you select "open in firefox", the web server sends a
text/plain type, which Tellico doesn't know what to do with. Using
the "download to firefox" option sends a application/bibtex type, so it
looks like I need to add that.

But evidently, not many servers use a bibtex mimetype. Not even Google
scholar, which uses text/plain.

Konqueror and Firefox do handle drag/drop differently. One uses URLs as
text, the other as a link. I tried to handle both, but you can see it
doesn't quite always do what you expect.

Importing based on the format of the file would solve the problems, but
introduce some more. :) I guess, I could queue up the importers and ask
each one in turn to try to import, and see if it succeeds. Something to put
on the todo list.

OK, since you let me know you actually care... :) I made a special case
check for text/plain and bibtex format. Using your DOI example, dragging
the "view citation in bibtex" url from both firefox and konqueror works for
Tellico now.

Just found this message when I returned after my holidays. Thanks for
the effort! Looking forward to try it out.
