JabRef writes corrupted library files that can no longer be read, leading to dataloss #8484
Comments
HI, thanks for reporting this. Can you open the bib file with an editor e...g Notepad++ and check the encoding? |
I think something is seriously broken in the file writing algorithm in recent versions. I managed to corrupt my own library by exiting JabRef forcefully during the writing process. Also I have now constantly a Flagging this as devcall, to bring it up for eveyones attention and hopefully it will be fixed soon (maybe even with a hotfix release). |
@mocherry Could you send me your original bib file? My email address is available on my GitHub profile. |
maybe fixed in #8506 ? |
