Hi Joost!
Thanks so much for this function. It will be very useful to me. I have
been using Ebib a while now and I am very happy with it. I have also
migrated my task management to org-mode. And now I have the glue that
I need to connect these two. I'm used to working with git so that will
be perfect. Once I have set things up for myself, I will probably send
a note to the org-mode mailing list. I remember that this issue has
come up there previously, so hopefully more people will find it
useful.
Thanks,
/Ali

Hi Ali,

Ah, I'm glad to hear that!
Of course, if any problems turn up or you need some further functionality, don't
hesitate to ask.

I'd be interested in that myself, actually. :-) I've started using org-mode a
while ago (though for the moment I'm barely scratching the surface of what it
can do!) and it be interesting to see how exactly you connect ebib and org-mode.
So I'll keep an eye out for your message to the org-mode mailing list!
Best,
Joost

Hi all there.
I would like to ask if its possible to implement the following in ebib.
To make a keystroke that compose a filename for file from bibtex index
and pdf extention.
For example if I reference Fool1999 selected uponn pressing it in file
file ill have Fool1999.pdf.
Thanks.
Petro.

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you mean. It's certainly possible to
create the string "Fool1999.pdf" on the basis of an entry key "Fool1999", but
where should it go? Do you mean something like the push functionality, where an
entry key gets pushed to another buffer?

Sorry.
My English was not clear.
The string Fool1999.pdf has to go into "file" field of the same entry.
Thanks.
Petro.

Hi Petro,
Thanks for that clarification. The following function does what you want:
============================================================
(defun ebib-pdf-file-name ()
"Create a pdf file name of the basis of the current entry key.
The file name is inserted in the file field of the current entry."
(interactive)
(ebib-execute-when
((entries)
(if (gethash 'file ebib-cur-entry-hash)
(beep)
(puthash 'file (concat "{" (car (edb-cur-entry ebib-cur-db)) ".pdf}")
ebib-cur-entry-hash)
(ebib-fill-entry-buffer)))
((default)
(beep))))
============================================================
I'm not sure if I'll include this in Ebib, so it's probably easiest for you to
put this into your ~/.emacs. As it is, the function can be called with M-x
ebib-pdf-file-name, but you'll probably want to bind it to a key. You can do so
in ~/.emacs as well, with:
(ebib-key index "D" ebib-pdf-file-name)
(Choose any key you want, of course.) Note: the function is meant to be used in
the index buffer (which I assume is what you want). In order for this key
assignment to work, you'll need to load ebib in your ~/.emacs, not autoload it.
So instead of the autoload line as explained in the manual, just put the
following in ~/.emacs:
(load "path/to/ebib.el")
You'll need to specify the correct path, of course.
Best,
Joost
