Importing RIS: "the selected file is not in a supported format"
Hi
I keep getting this error when trying to import RIS files.
I've tried the following without any luck
- resetting translators
- moving files into the 'Storage' folder on my Mac (OSX 12.4)
- multiple character encoding formats from the source site
- hard setting the encoding to UTF-8 and importing a UTF-8 encoded file
I can open the files with a text editor
Any ideas?

Please verify that the extension is not ".ris.txt" in your Mac file system or some similar thing.
edit:
Where did you obtain / download the RIS file?
Please copy the first 10 lines of the file and paste them here. (It could be that the "RIS file" is not actually in the proper RIS format.)
ID - ctx4044736570002363
T1 - On the structure of behavioral self-regulation

If you want to you could manually add that at the top of each entry (using some soft of search&replace: here are the possible values https://github.com/aurimasv/translators/wiki/RIS-Tag-Map-(narrow)
I'll keep that in mind.
For one-offs like the example, it's probably easier to add by identifier.
Cheers
