Lookup -> Search Unlinked local files: Improve dialog #11878

Open Siedlerchr opened 1 month ago

Siedlerchr commented 1 month ago

Image

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.

I am using Lookup -> Search for unlinked local files

Describe the solution you'd like

1a: The column "File" should contain relative paths starting from the Directory given in the field "Directory", not the full path
1b: The column should use "..." on the left, not on the right

(if possible) 2: The columns should be resizable

Additional context

Open a bib file (e.g. chocolate bib) and point to a directory with pdfs

Siedlerchr commented 1 month ago

@master-vibe the issue is already assigned to someone else

master-vibe commented 1 month ago

Okay, Anyway I fixed the issue, Should i commit it as new branch in my fork repo. I am new to open source, So I don't know much about it.

@agondekova What do you think? Do you mind? @master-vibe I propose to wait for a response by agondekova. At JabRef we try to lookout for students who may work on issues as part of their course assignments. If somebody else buts in, it may lead to problems with their grading. Since it has only been a day since the assignment, maybe it is possible for agondekova to switch to another good first issue, but you are definitely complicating things. Next time definitely make sure to choose a good first issue or university project that is "free to take". Image If you are confident you also can choose any other issue that is not curated, but those might be more difficult to solve.

A compromise could be for you to make your proposed solution only public once agondekova has opened the pull-request. Then we can compare and merge the better one.

If agondekova does not respond within two days, please open your pull-request and I will assign you instead.

master-vibe commented 1 month ago

Okay, I understand. Thank you for the info.

agondekova commented 1 month ago

@ThiloteE I would like to work on this issue because it is important to me and related to my studies. If I had to change the assignment, it could mean losing points for me. I appreciate your initiative @master-vibe and I am open to compare our pull requests and choose the best solution.

master-vibe commented 1 month ago

@ThiloteE, I don't mean to interrupt your studies, but I would appreciate the chance to compare our code since I have already worked on it and want to ensure it isn't in vain. Let's compare and choose the best solution, as this would also give me insight into my own code.

ThiloteE commented 1 month ago

I am sure you did not mean to tag me, but here my recommendation anyway: If you want to absolutely make sure to not have worked in vain and minimize the risk thereof, please choose a different issue.

master-vibe commented 1 month ago

Yeah, I tagged the wrong person. I was supposed to tag @agondekova I guess. Anyways, It's alright, Good luck @agondekova.

Hi team, I am a student at the Australian National University. For our Software Engineering team project, we have to do open source contribution. Can this task be assigned to me?

Did you recieve the link https://devdocs.jabref.org/teaching.html? It should point to https://github.com/orgs/JabRef/projects/3/views/3?query=is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc with many open issues.

I would recommend checking https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/9798

Addition: If you work as team, work together on a medium-sized issue; this offers more group-collaboration possibilities.
