Allow relative paths for LaTeX aux file (group definition by cited entries) #8344
Comments
The following should already work:
But I just see that there is a paramter which takes the username into account |
While it is a bit unclear, I believe the LaTeX File directory is also user-specific. refs. JabRef's documentation and #4736. |
Ahh, I did not know those Path definitions in the Library Properties. They seem to take user and computer name into account. At least they are stored as follows in my bib-file:
I will check it in January with the computer at the university. But that should solve my problem. Thanks a lot! (I was a bit confused, because in the JabRef preferences the following option can be checked: "Search and store files relative to library file location". I could not find the equivalent for the LaTeX files) |
Just to check, is this issue solved? |
Sorry for my delay answering. I completely forgot about it. I tried the suggestion from Siedlerchr, but it does not work (JabRef 5.7--2022-06-15--cb5fe60). |
I think this is due to a bug -- cf. #9990 @jorgman1 If these files still exist and it is still relevant, can you please check whether the username set correctly for your second host in the bib file: @Comment{jabref-meta: fileDirectoryLatex-UserA-HostA:C:\\Path\\A;} and that it is not @Comment{jabref-meta: fileDirectoryLatex-UserA-HostA:C:\\Path\\A;}
@Comment{jabref-meta: fileDirectoryLatex-UserA-HostB:C:\\Path\\B;} |
Using the latest version (JabRef 5.10--2023-06-15--710e1f2) I still have an error. The username is set correctly only for one host, the second host does not save a username:
Moreover, when I try to edit the group and select an Aux file, I get an error (on both hosts, even if the LaTeX file directory is not set). This error is new. Error_log.txt |
No, I remember looking at it, when I discovered that we have a DummyFileMonitor, but I don't think anyone refactored it for quite some time. |
Maybe related to the change of getUser to getUserAndHost? |
The issue occurred before. Need to investigate. |
Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
I have some groups defined by the citations in a LaTeX auxiliary file. However, the path to the auxiliary file needs to be an absolute path. Thus, it only works in one computer. (I synchronise my library in several computers via ownCloud).
Describe the solution you'd like
