A problem is I don’t know how to make this should work in practice. I don’t
think it is a good idea to just download every linked PDF automatically,
because quite often you just are searching, and not necessarily importing any
items you view. So that would be very inefficient, and leave a lot of junk
around.
As for the login credentials, I don;t have a good view of what goes wrong and
how it could be fixed. What is really going wrong when submitting a field is
interpreted as an enter? I mean, submitting a field *is* enter. And AFAIK our
web view is just a web view, and it supports cookies.
Perhaps web groups could cooperate with the key chain, but I don;t se when and
how that should happen.
