Upgrade Storagecharacter encoding when dragging references to jabref
hi,
drag and drop to jabref does not seem to use utf-8 encoding although it is selected in the preferences of both zotero and jabref.
what i do:
visit http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01469698
import the article entry which contains an umlaut ü
drag and drop from zotero to an existing jabref library:
what does not work:
the ü gets messed up
what works:
exporting the entry to .bib from zotero and opening that file with jabref. but drag and drop is so much quicker.
os x 10.6 and 10.8; recent firefox and jabref.
thanks for any help!

adamsmithhow about when you drag the bibtex to a text editor (or even the comments window here)? Zotero should default to utf-8 and does for me. I think the opposite might be trickier - if you need export with escaped umlauts I'm not sure that can be set as a default.

nlsbckrgood point. i did and the text comes out fine. i saved as utf-8 encoded text file, then selected all text and dragged into jabref. the same error in the imported reference appears. looks like it is a jabref import error rather than zotero export !?

adamsmithmaybe jabref expects ISO8859 (i.e. escaped special chars) on drag&drop? Or it could be a clipboard-related issue. Definitely worth asking them or tex.stackexchange

Have you checked the encoding used by JabRef? See the second question ("Q: Does JabRef support Chinese characters?") at http://jabref.sourceforge.net/faq.php .
