Description Stéphane Magnenat 2005-10-08 14:33:12 UTC
Version:           1.7.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.90)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

KDE has both a good latex editor (Kile) and a good collection manager (Tellico).
This combination has the potential to give excellent user experience for people writing scientific articles. Unfortunatly, right now those two programs do not interact and the actual best way to export a bibliography from tellico to kile is to dump the entire tellico biblography to a bib file and then use this bib file from kile.

In addition to that possibiliy, it could be nice to have a more automatic way, such as this use case:
* The user select "Get bibliography from Tellico" in Kile
* Kile harvests citations and asks Tellico for the corresponding entries
* Kile creates a bibtex file in .tex directory and add the \bibliography entry in the .tex file if it is not yet there

I am conscious that this is probably not the holy grail, specially if there is duplicated Tellico entries corresponding to a single bibtex key, but I hope that this bug report will launch some toughts and discussions about integration in this area of KDE.

Thank,

Steph

This bug has also been submitted to Tellico authors

There is a limited one-way interaction, currently. If you have Kile running, put the cursor where you want the citation, open Tellico and select the bibliographic entry to cite, then Collection->Cite Entry will insert a standard \cite{} command in the text in Kile, assuming you have a bibtex key entered for that entry.
