I think, it should be no problem. Paths are stored as they are. As the paths won't change from Linux to Windows, it should be fine. I don't know, however, what about the slash vs. backslash issue. I think, however, it should be fine. > 2) is jabref able to manage relative links to documents (if I add a book > under windows with absolute path, it will certanly not work once I try > to access to it in linux and viceversa)? Yes. We have the settings "database path". > 3) is it possible to automatically search for metadata on the net by > inserting only the ISBN (in calibre I can do that and it is extremely > useful to speed up the insertion of books)? No, I don't think so. We have entry fetchers (Search/Web search), but there are "only" scientific sources listed, not amazon or something like that. > 4) is there any way to automatically rename books on the base of the > metadata? Yes. In the upcoming beta, there is "Tools/Cleanup entries", where the PDFs can be renamed to some given pattern. We could extend that to arbitrary extensions. > If so is it possible to limit the length of filename to avoid > the 256 characters limit of windows' paths? No, that's currently not possible. > 5) is there any import function from calibre? Currently not. I'm not aware of the internal format of Calibre. Hope, that helps!
