Hi,

I dont understand why I need a project to make the \cite{} to use auto-completion citation key from my bibtex database. It make some problems that is recursive in kile. Sometimes it is fixed but in new versions it go back. 

I think that is more simple kile search a document for a \bibliography command and get the string inside bibliography to search the bibliography for citation.

If I have:

\bibliography{/home/ronaldo/mybib.bib} 

kile use mybib.bib to find citation key. If I have:

\bibliography{mybib.bib} 

kile use mybib.bib that is in the same directory that my tex to find the citation key.

If I use a environment BIBINPUTS, kile find the mybib.bib inside the BIBINPUTS directory, unless that I put ./mybib.bib, in this case kile dont look in BIBINPUTS.

In this way I dont need to create a project file.

Thanks
Ronaldo
