Controlling key and filename fields #16

Closed malfatti closed 1 year ago

malfatti commented 4 years ago

Hey! Thanks for sharing this very nice software!

I'm trying to generate entries with key format like perrette2013scaling instead of Perrette_2013 and to rename the file as Perrette2013_AScalingApproachToProjectRegionalSeaLevelRiseAndItsUncertainties.pdf. Is such controlling implemented yet? If not, I could play with this and try to implement --key-fields and --filename-fields arguments to some subcommands, where the default would be --key-fields author,_,year :) Would you accept pull requests?

Cheers, Malfatti

Hi Malfatti, this would be certainly useful to have. I don't think I went in this direction yet, as there were - and still are - other pressing issues like bullet-proof git support and other workflow aspects (local/global install) to make the package really useful. In any case, please go ahead. As mentioned in #15 I don't think we need python 2.7 support anymore even though I'd need to find a neat way out for those in need. Just didn't find time lately. Let me know how it goes. Thanks.

Hey!

Sorry for the huge delay. I finally had time to make the changes to allow the controlling I needed. You did most of the heavy work, I just had to pass the arguments to some functions and make them installable.

Cheers :)

Hi @malfatti,

no reason to be sorry. That all sounds very good. I am myself so busy now and cannot give a careful look. Looking forward to coming back to it very soon.
