ignore field on BBT import

jlaehne
@emilianoeheyns: Is there an option in Better-BibTeX to ignore a certain field on importing a .bib file? I was looking and did not find an option for that.

At the moment both 'mendeley-tags' and 'keywords' are imported as tags. I want to ignore the keywords and import only the tags.

    Not currently possible. I am willing to consider it, but I'd prefer it if you can open an issue on github with a sample file that has these fields.

    I just realized that I can delete the unwanted field in JabRef prior to the zotero import. That is a doable workaround.

    I thought BBT might have a similar ignore option for the import as for the export.

    If you want, I can still open a github-issue with example.

    I'd rather not add features that don't address an existing use-case. If jabref does the job easily, that seems like a good option.

    What is the difference between the two in mendeley btw?
  • jlaehne
    In Mendeley, keywords seem to be the ones imported from metadata (i.e. when a journal sets keywords). It is just a metadata field. While tags can be set by the user very similar to the use case in Zotero.

    That could be the difference between automatic tags and user tags. That is possible.
