Question about Bibtex - which is the best GUI?

Hi, I plan on using Bibtex to handle the citations needed for a series of essays I am writing. I have come across two Java GUIs, JabRef and Bib-it and an OS X one, BibDesk. I'm happy to try them all out but I was wondering if people had experience with these programs or others and which they

I've used Jabref for my thesis bibliography, and it's mostly been fine. I've used it from both Windows and Fedora Core 4. The sorting and searching work well, and I like the way it makes your DOIs and PDFs click-through-able with icons in the main list. I like how it integrates with LyX via

I've tried a whole lot of these GUIs, and Pybliographer (http://pybliographer.org/) is by far my favorite. Pybliographer is written in Python, but with a Gnome GUI. I don't know if it actually needs more than the GTK libraries. If it does, then that should be fixed, as there's really no reason it

Hi Tim, I use JabRef and I am pretty happy with it. Since it's platform independet (java) I can use it on Linux as well on my windows laptop to work on it. I found the grouping and the exporting features (e.g. to html) very useful. - helmut --- Tim Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb: > Hi,

Hi! I've tried both Pybliographer and JabRef and I liked them both quite well. But then I had some trouble with both of them, they didn't really let me do everything I wanted, or maybe I didn't have the patience to learn how to do it. And like several others I had problems with non-ascii

I'd encourage everyone who's had this problem with non-ascii characters to submit bug reports. It is the ambition of most open source projects to be internationalized, but I have the sense that people are still getting up to speed with unicode. I know that, even for my own small projects, I still
