Sorry, I missed that question from Christiaan. In my case, I autogenerate the cite key, but then want to prefix it with the abbreviation of the name of the conference or journal where it appeared. The hacky way I do it is to open the .bib file after I autogenerate the cite key and just prepend t

Right. That is what is happening -- open the file, cite keys in the .bib file is maintained; but copy those into the master .bib file, they are revised. Now that I know why, I can work around it. Many thanks Christiaan. ==Tamer > On May 16, 2023, at 5:12 PM, Christiaan Hofman wrote: > > It d

OK, I'll turn it off while importing the file and then turn it back on. Interestingly, if I just open that .bib file (with the "icde22_" prefix in the cite key, it does not change things; only when I copy and add them to my master .bib file. ==Tamer > On May 16, 2023, at 4:58 PM, Christiaan H

Yes, Christian, that is the case. It never occurred to me that it could be a problem; I’ve always had it turned on and it used to work (I think). Perhaps I was temporarily turning it off previously. Many thanks. ==Tamer > On May 16, 2023, at 10:13 AM, Christiaan Hofman wrote: > > Do you have

[Bibdesk-users] Interesting bibdesk issue

2023-05-16 Thread M. Tamer Özsu
I have run into an interesting issue with Bibdesk (1.8.16) that I had not encountered before. I have a .bib file that has entries like the following. The relevant part of this is the @inproceedings{icde22_Wang:2022aa line. When I copy them into my master Bibdesk library, it loses the “icde22_” a
