Hi Adam, I want to thank you again publicly for having done it, it's really perfect (to be sincere I didn't expect such a response, and so quick)!

That's definitely a crucial feature. There is something I am not sure to get about the use: is the @proceedings entry supposed to be imported automatically when I click on the import button of the @inproceedings one? Because I don't think that happens with me. Another remark is that new lines and spaces make strange things in the bibtex entry. For example the last entry appears a bit clumsy like this: "Raptor: Integrating Checkpoints and Thread Migration for Cluster Management" One small question: are the DBLP groups present by default in the Searches menu? I guess it shouldn't be kept as a "secret" feature. The next milestone I guess could be to extract URLs not only from ee fields, but also from the results of DBLP Webcrawler (especially when no ee field is provided). DBLP Webcrawler is a quite funny and surprisingly efficient way (more than Google Scholar I find) to retrieve PDFs that are hosted on personal homepages for example. You can try it by making a search in http://dblp.l3s.de/, there is a small magnifying glass icons after each title which launches a DBLP Webcrawler search. I can try and get some more details about this kind of mystical feature, but it seems very interesting. Some theoretical considerations can be found here http://www.springerlink.com/content/c63w80ngm110k6x2/ . You may not have access to it, but here is a quote from their motivation: One of these libraries is the Digital Bibliography & Library Pro ject (DBLP). From a researcher point of view however it would be an added value if not only bibliographical metadata were supplied but also free and direct access to the content itself would be possible through the web service. DBLP faces this challenge by supplying links to electronic editions where the information is avail- able. These links mostly point to publisher webpages where the users have the opportunity to buy the desired full text. If the user is a member of the publishers digital library, e. g. SpringerLink, ACM-DL or IEEE digital library, then the full-text is accessible. But most of the publications how- ever are not only available through publisher websites but also on homepages of research institutes or the researchers themselves. The question arises if it is possible to automatically identify relevant full-texts for bibliographical records which would lead to an added value for researchers.
