Don't know if it ever happened to you - but to me it did quite a lot in recent weeks.

I got papers by authors with very common names - so when i search for an author doe j - i got hits by john doe, james doe, jenny doe and whatever.
To see which is the one i want i can use the information about the institution which the author works/writes for.

Maybe this can be implented easily - you 'll know better.

A suggestion for easier overview:
Scenario:
i got paper 1 by author x labeled with label a in my library

Now i search on pubmed or whatever for new papers by author x.
In the search results you can see that paper 1 is already in your library - but not the labels you gave to it.
probably not the most necessary thing - but would look more rounded,

The preview abstract feature is very sweet, however is not possible to select the text to do a classic copy paste.

I think this should be allowed, and should be easy to do.

Pretty please, with sugar on top!

Dear all,

I would like to standardize the automatic BibTex file.

Sometimes the whole names are exported, sometimes just the initial, sometimes they are upper cases ans some times smaller cases.

This is not ok to have a consistent bibliography.

do you think guys can look into this?

I find the option to share a paper with an email extremely useful.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to include also the paper itself as attachment and the link to the website.

I tend to do it manually right now, but I would prefer paperpile to take care for that automatically!

When I type a name on the search bar sometime I have to click the big enter to search.

If I click the small enter (the one near the number in a desktop keyboard) nothing happens and it seems to be ignored.

Is that disabled?

I'm wondering if you have that key

It would be cool to have an Advanced Pubmed search.
Basic is general, than I can add additional field for Authors, Year.

for large list of duplicate an automatic merge option

I've tried both Archive Utility and Stuffit Expander. Any chance of your providing a .zip file as an alternative?

The main source of papers for me is RSS feeds. Thus, I'd like my reference manager to smoothly interoperate with a feed reader, ideally importing the paper with a single click. Currently, Paperpile allows browsing journal feeds, but does not remember which abstracts I have looked at, or store abstracts from more than a week ago. I would like Paperpile to store the state of the feed for longer (e.g. 1 month), and keep a track of what I have seen. This way, we do not need to switch between reader and reference manager, copy-pasting PMIDs, to add a paper.

I get some java related error msgs when opening paperpile in 64bit Ubuntu (Maverick). See screenshot here: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B9bO6mZEvieCMjYzYTIzMTAtOGE2Mi00NTA2LTg5NmEtZGVjZDJkMmZmM2Q5&hl=en

The relevant error output from the terminal is

/build/buildd/openjdk-6-6b20-1.9/build/../plugin/icedteanp/IcedTeaNPPlugin.cc:1506: thread 0x1f47380: Error: Failed to spawn applet viewer: Failed to execute child process "/etc/alternatives/../../bin/java" (No such file or directory)

Paperpile still runs, and AFAIK works the same (haven't really used it much yet on this machine), but I suspect that's surely going to cause some problems somewhere, no?

FYI:
java -version
java version "1.6.0_20"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9) (6b20-1.9-0ubuntu1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode)

Has anyone tried using Paperpile within a DropBox folder yet? I work between multiple computers, so I need a reliable way of automatically syncing between my computers. I guess in theory, this should work fine(?).

I'll try it out later and report back...

I'd like to use unison to sync metadata/papers among several systems. Are SQLite databases used underneath the 64-bit version compatible with the 32-bit version?

Rockin' software, by the way.

what is the meaning of yellow/green/none background colors of the paper title in the duplicate list?
