Hi!

I need to be able to output attachment information in bibtex format.

Reason:

I am using a SciPlore mindmap (formerly "freemind scholar") an open source mind mapping tool based on freemind, which integrates with reference managing and are able to extract pdf bookmarks onto the mindmap via simple drag and drop.

Its a would-be killer combination with zotero: Save your pdf's in zotero storage, bookmark citations in the pdf, and in SciPlore extract those citation as nodes in the mindmap while keeping the link to the source. It works with japref and Mendeley, but not Zotero which doesn't output attachment information in BiBTeX export.

Now to the technical part:

As a dirty workaround I am trying to modify the BibTex.js file, which does the import/export work, but simply can't figure out how to read information out of the attachment object or array (or whatever it is)

from BiBTeX.js, around line 2016:

if (item.notes) {
   for each (var note in item.notes) {
   writeField("annote", note["note"]);
   }

After this, I put this statment:

 if (item.attachments) { //abc
 Zotero.write("This is an attachment:"); 
 // This works - but I would like to retreive information about the attachments - but how? 
 }

Can anyone drop me few lines on how to retrieve the attachment information (eg. attachment name, path, mimetype).

Thanx :-)

p.s. I know there are probably other issues regarding relative vs. absolute file path and so on, I will try to handle this later. And all this could probably best be handled via a zotero plugin, maybe I'll get to that.
