Hello,

it would be extremely nice if we could get the ability to download a paper on import.
So the workflow would look like this:
Search for a paper online. Click import, the citation is added to your bibtex file. The Document gets downloaded and stored in a unified way in a predefined folder so that in the end, you always have a copy of all the references you are using.

Please make this happen!
Cheers!

It is already possible to associate local files to entries by copying/moving next to the BibTeX file as well as renaming a PDF file to match the BibTeX key.
As you request, a logical extension would be to (automatically) download the PDF file if URLs or other references are provided in the BibTeX entry.

Implementation is postponed until I have time to write some code ...
