integrity check and follow up actions

[ilippert]

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe. I like the integrity check. I am frustrated that I cannot find wizards that help me to solve the errors found.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to select a finding/warning (or several at once) and then use a right click to select a possible action. E.g. for a file name with an ? offer to repair that, of for a Warning about a latex command (e.g. \enquote) I could "register" the command so that it does not generate a warning anymore.

Additional fixable finding/warning/reports can include:

• Citation key deviates from generated key --> generate citation key for that entry
• Capital letters are not masked using curly brackets {} --> Basic string manipulation

We can go with the right click approach or an approach similar to the image below or a combination or both: right-click when multiple possible fixes, and single-click when one possible fix (common case).

Random thoughts

• Applied fixes should be transparent to users. This means users should be informed about the previous inconsistent value of a field and the new consistent value that will be applied as a fix, possibly showing a difference (diff).
• Sometimes multiple fixes are possible (.e.g. non-ASCII encoded character found), here we can delete all non-ascii characters, enclosing them in braces, or other actions. The UI should offer multiple choices of fixes when available.
• While not directly related to this feature, integrity checks can sometimes be ignorable. For instance, if I intentionally use non-ASCII characters in a field, I wouldn't want it flagged as inconsistent every time I scan. There should be a column to mark integrity checks as ignored.
