[Bug]: Cannot find pandoc installed from homebrew with a prefix

[noirchen]

Bug Description

I installed pandoc using homebrew (which is at /Applications/homebrew), and the location of pandoc is in /Applications/homebrew/bin/pandoc. When I try to paste a single bibliography I got You need to install pandoc for this feature. For now I can manually modify paste-full-bibliography.sh to point the pandoc to the correct path, but it would be great if the pandoc path can be configured in the environment variables.

Hmm, I see the problem, but somewhat hesitate to overload the workflow with settings for niche cases.

Wouldn't symlinking pandoc to a location like /usr/local/bin/pandoc solve this?

[noirchen]

Well that is ok. Another question, if I want to paste the bibliography using some other csl instead of the default apa-7th csl, what should I do? Do I just hard code the desired csl as $CSL in paste-full-bibliography.sh, or is there a way to configure it?

[chrisgrieser]

yeah, that one is hardcoded. The bibliography pasting feature really was only intended as an auxiliary feature for the occasional sharing of a reference via mail, so that's why it's pretty barebones with little customization 😅

Could you open a new feature request for that, since it's a different issue from this one?

[chrisgrieser]

Nevermind, I added an option to customize the csl in the latest release. https://github.com/chrisgrieser/alfred-bibtex-citation-picker/releases/download/11.11.0/alfred-bibtex-citation-picker.alfredworkflow
