Import bibtex files, different behaviour for bib and bibtex extension #8603

Open gibelin opened 2 years ago

gibelin commented 2 years ago

As describe in the forum https://discourse.jabref.org/t/import-bibtex-files-different-behaviour-for-bib-and-bibtex-extension/3309 I realized than under linux if my main bib file is opened in JabRef and that another bibtex file with the extension “.bib” it is opened by clicking on it then this last is opened as a new file. But if the extension is “.bibtex” it is imported in the already opened file. There is a workaround using shortcuts within JabRef but maybe it could make sens to homogenize the behavior and/or put the option in the preference. Thank you in advance

Actually, this is very much related to #8298. One might even call this issue here a duplicate.
