Thanks for this great program that has already helped me a lot to tidy up my old databases. I particularly like the configurable ID autogeneration (very handy) and would like to ask whether in addition the volume number and the initial page could be made available for ID generation.
Good idea, should not be too difficult. Won't be part of any 0.6.x release, though.
I prepare a first implementation of this request. Please checkout the following commit from my personal clone. The code is based on the current Git master (based on KF5): http://commits.kde.org/clones/kbibtex/thomasfischer/kbibtex/a81c4e85d8b2c50a382ea97f464fef7783d6971e Instructions how to build KBibTeX from source are given on this page: https://userbase.kde.org/KBibTeX/Development Please test and confirm
Created attachment 101162 [details] Accepting page numbers with letters I got a patch sent via mail from Ulrich Heinen <ulrich.heinen@arcor.de>. The patch aims at accepting page numbers that start with letters, e.g. 'e57335'. This patch has been generalized and included in the previous commit (replaced by a forced push, my bad ...).
