It should be able to recursively add new items when you reload a  
single frame. Is anything reported in the logs in Console?

I don't feel like adding a new pref for that and it should be pretty  
easy now with the bookmarks.

We disabled that, and we won't do more special-special handling in  
this case. Not editing allows you to keep with the web group. There  
are good reasons to do that. You can easily find the items you added  
from the web group in the Last Import group.

If you auto-generate the cite key that will happen automatically.  
Otherwise you can go to Last Import and use the menu item in the  
Publication menu.

I don't feel like adding a new pref for that.
