Hi Joost,
I finally had some time on my hand to try the function you wrote
(ebib-start-on-entry). I tried to clone the git repository but I get
the following warning/error:
Initialized empty Git repository in ebib/.git/
warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
Any ideas?

To be honest, no... I tried to clone the repository myself with:
git clone git://repo.or.cz/ebib.git
in a temporary directory and it works fine.
For some reason, git on your side seems to think that HEAD doesn't point to
anything, which a quick Google search suggests may be caused by a missing master
branch, but there *is* a master branch in the repo...
Google also suggested that the .git directory should have been created with the
proper remote branches and that you can set up a local tracking branch by hand.
But this really should happen automatically...
Unfortunately, I'm not a git expert... If you could try cloning again and see it
if works, that'd be great. If it doesn't work, I'll contact the guys 'n galls at
repo.or.cz and see if they have an idea what might be wrong.

Hi all.
Virtual databases can be created for some keywords, but sometimes one
wants to sort articles in the different manner.
Is it possible to make the following:
add a "drawer" field into entry, which contains a keywords names for
different drawers.
now one can define a function add-to-drawer which upon execution
shows menu with all available drawers in current database, plus
possibility to create (add) new drawer. The menu similar to ispell
menu.
(1)topic1(2)topuc2)(c)create new
or something like this.
similar function remove-from-drawer, and show the drawer which uses
virtual database feature to show references from different drawers.
I believe it will be useful.
Thanks.
Petro.

Hi Petro,
sorry for the late reply, I haven't been reading my mail for the past few
days...

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "drawers". Do you mean you'd like to add
another field called "drawers"? That's pretty easy, you can do that by
configuring the variable ebib-additional-fields. Of course, that doesn't give
you a menu.

I'm not sure how the virtual databases come in here... Could you explain a bit
more about how this functionality should work? If it's possible to implement it,
I'd be happy to see what I can do.

Hi Joost,
I finally got some time over to try this out again. The git repository
is working fine and I was able to use the function you wrote
(ebib-start-on-entry), which is great! My remaining question is: I'm
using autoload in my .emacs file to get emacs to load the
'ebib-start-on-entry' function when emacs starts up. I'm not very
cunning with emacs customization, so is the autoload function the
proper way to do this?
I'll let you know once I set things up with org-mode.
Best wishes,
/Ali

Yeah, that would be the best way to do it.
In fact, I'm considering whether it wouldn't make more sense to just let the
main function `ebib' take an optional argument. It would function much the same
way as `ebib-start-on-entry', except that if you call `ebib' without any
argument, it just starts Ebib the way it does now. (So it wouldn't ask you on
which entry you want to start. It would still be possible to get that
functionality by calling `ebib' with a prefix argument.) I'm guessing you're not
going to use `ebib-start-on-entry' interactively, are you? In that case, I think
I should just include the functionality in the function `ebib' itself, rather
than have a special function for it.
> I'll let you know once I set things up with org-mode.
Yeah, that would be great. :-)
Best,
Joost

No, I'm not planning to use the function interactively. I think it
makes a lot of sense to just extend the functionality of 'ebib'. Makes
for a very clean interface imo.

I have now set up the connection between org-mode and ebib and it
works great! It was easier than I had anticipated. I just added three
lines to my .emacs:
(org-add-link-type "ebib" 'org-ebib-open)
(defun org-ebib-open (path)
(ebib-start-on-entry path))
Now I can insert ebib links like this: [[ebib:Jones1998][some paper
title]] and open them in ebib by opening the link in org-mode.
I'm planning to write about this on the org-mode mailing list. Do you
want me to wait until you have rewritten the 'ebib' function?
Cheers,
/Ali
