Hello: I am learning how to use Jabref and I have a few questions.
1. Where are the custom settings/preferences stored? In the directory where the jabref file is located I found a jabref.xml file. I thought that file stores the custom preferences. But even if I delete this file and run jabref again, the previous settings are restored. 2. I would like to make a custom export filter/preview. The "Authors formatter" section of the manual however is a little bit confusing: http://jabref.sourceforge.net/help/CustomExports.php It says that Authors() options can be set by setting "OptionKey = Option value" pairs. For example "Authors(AuthorSort = FirstFirst)"; at least this is what the manual implies. But in my system this pairing does not work, it has not any effect. I have to use the option values only, as "Authors(FirstFirst)". I don't know if this is normal, but the manual should be more clear. 3. I can not set the author numbers to 'inf'. Neither using "inf" nor "AuthorNumber = inf" has the required effect. If I use inf it results in: First author's name et al. (Using a large number, eg. 100 solves this, but it's a "hack".) 4. Finally, I would like to add a comma before et al. This is author layout I would lie to make: Lastname FF, Lastname FF, Lastname FF, Lastname FF, et al For this I have to use Authors(LastFirst,InitialsNoSpace,NoPunc,Comma,Comma), but it does not put a comma between the last name and et al. I can not add the comma to the et al string definition, because it is not accepted. That is, the (LastFirst,InitialsNoSpace,NoPunc,Comma,Comma,EtAl=, et al) syntax does not work. How can I include the comma in the et al string? I tried EtAl=", et al", "EtAl=, et al", none of these worked.
