Error message when running about rofi-bibbrowser

Thanks for using it and for the feedback!

It seems I wrongly assumed that every bibfile entry has an ID (that is the identifier used by the \cite{...} macro). While this assumption is reasonable for bib(la)tex, rofi-bibbrowser does not actually need it.

I have just fixed this by 60b7ac1, so please try again

Thanks for the quick answer, this is working now and... wow! This script is awesome!
(I think I will need to take a look at my bib file if there are missing keys...)

Great and Thanks!

Are you happy how the pdf files are renamed?

[frdrcv]

Yes, absolutely. Habitually, I just use the last name of the first author with the year of publication to name my pdfs, which can lead to confusion. The information shown by your script in rofi is way more complete.

Actually, I have a question/recommandation. Could it be possible to use the editor's name instead of the author's when the author's field is empty? For now, I get questions marks for these entries and I can't list all the entries of a researcher if they are the editor. Also, there are some biblatex entries that don't seem to work; I have some @Suppbook, @Suppcollection, @online, etc. in my bibliography and they appear as two questions marks.

Sorry for not replying to this, I totally forgot this. Now the item formatting falls back to the editor name if there is no author. In the meantime, rofi-bibbrowser uses a better bibtex parser called biblib -- maybe this also solves the other issues.
Also, I have slightly changes the config file format (see rofi-bibbrowser --default-config).
