What about a combox with this list of databases (and maybe a browse
button near the combox?)
IMHO, the bibtex dialog should be accessible from the citation dialog.
For the matter, I think everything related to citation should be
accessible through the citation dialog.
Question: Is it possible to make a reference to a bibtex element as well
as a local bibliography element in the same document?
I made a proposal for the citation dialog yesterday:
I think a simple, case-insensitive, search-as-type is more than enough
and more intuitive. A more powerful search tool dialog could be opened
in need of advanced search (via Ctr+F and/or a search button).
This advanced search button could allow searching bibtex database. I
mean, is there a reason why a bibtex reference should not be cited in
the same way as a local bibliography reference?
I am not a Bibtex user myself because it just seems so complicated...
Maybe that's the reason why I don't understand the reason behind this
distinction. Or maybe it is a latex issue? I am just a dumb user here so
please excuse me if my questions seem obvious to you.
