Mendeley for example uses the file field:
file = {:home/rkrug/Documents/Mendeley Desktop/Knight et al/Knight et
al._2006.pdf:pdf},
I would actually make the pdf an optional entry. Most papers have URLs
attached, which make it possible to get the paper if one is interested
in. And xapers would be really useful in assessing potential papers
before downloading the pdfs.
And another thought: jabref stores info about the paper in the pdf's
meta data - maybe xapers could use that data as well, so just pointing
to a directory full of pdf could then also work.

It would be quite important to be able to do something along the lines
of
xapers import --bib=TheBibtexFile.bib
and xapers extracts the info it needs. If this info of the source of the
data is put into a config file, one could, as with notmuch, just update
xapers by doing:
xapers new
and all new papers in the config file source (bibtex, possibly directory
with pdf, text file, ...) would be added to xapers.
Most people already have there papers in bibtex files, so a feature like
this wold make xapers a *very* interesting tool - I would most
definitely use it,bu not if I have to re-enter each file I add to the
pdf.
Is there a mailing list or place where you anounce new versions?
Looking forward to the bibtex interface,

here's some early feedback:

There's not currently a prescribed way to batch import, but if you can
programmatically get all pdf/bibtex pairs then it should be easy to
script:
xapers import --file=PDF --source=BIBTEX

Yikes. Sorry about that. Clearly more error checking is needed.
The problem here is that PDFs should passed in through the --file=
option, while source library URLs or bibtex files should be passed in
through --source=.

Thanks! I give Carl all the credit, though, since it's really all just

There's not currently a prescribed way to batch import, but if you can
programmatically get all pdf/bibtex pairs then it should be easy to
script:
xapers import --file=PDF --source=BIBTEX

Yikes. Sorry about that. Clearly more error checking is needed.
The problem here is that PDFs should passed in through the --file=
option, while source library URLs or bibtex files should be passed in
through --source=.

Brilliant idea!
here's some early feedback:
* is there a way to batch import a bunch of pdfs? or better yet, a bibtex file
with entries pointing
to files like the ones produced by say jabref?
There, entries have some line like this:
file = {Boz2012.pdf:papers/Boz2012.pdf:PDF}
* got a bunch of traces:
-
$xapers import --source=ABK2011.pdf
1 ↵ master
Reading bibtex... done.
Adding bibtex...

Xapers
Hey, folks. I wanted to let people know about a program that I've been working on that may be of interest to people on this list. It's also very heavily inspired by notmuch. It's a personal paper management/indexing system called Xapers, geared somewhat specifically towards academic journal articles. For those familiar with Papers [0], it's like that but for the command line set. Give it a pdf and a source identifier (like doi url), and it downloads bibtex from the online library, stores the pdf and bibtex in a local document store, and indexes them both into a Xapian database. Documents can be arbitrarily tagged. Documents and bibtex can be exported from arbitrary searches. It's a python library underneath, but there a cli and a simple curses ui that can display search results, tag documents, and retrieve files. README and a screenshot of the curses ui here: http://finestructure.net/xapers/README http://finestructure.net/xapers/screenshot.png It's certainly not perfect, but it's been working fairly well for me for a while. Feedback/bugs/etc (off list) are very much appreciated. jamie.
