Replace spaces in title in key

[Nick222]

May be replace spaces it book title - while generating a key - on some symbols such as "_" - to more readable ?

It looks like you did not upload an debug report. The debug report is important; it gives @retorquere your current BBT settings and a copy of the problematic reference as a test case so he can best replicate your problem. Without it, @retorquere is effectively blind. Debug reports are useful for both bug analysis and enhancement requests; in the case of export enhancements, I need the copy of the references you have in mind.

This request is much more likely than not to apply to you, too, even if you think it unlikely, and even if it does not, there's no harm in sending a debug log that turns out to be unnecessary. @retorquere will more often than not just end up saying "please send a debug log first". Let's just skip over the unnecesary delay this entails. Sending a debug log is very easy:

1. If your issue relates to how BBT behaves around a specific reference(s), such as citekey generation or export, select at least one of the problematic reference(s), right-click it, and submit an BBT debug report from that popup menu. If the problem is with export, please do include a sample of what you see exported, and what you expected to see exported for these references.

2. If the issue does not relate to references and is of a more general nature, generate an debug report by restarting Zotero with debugging enabled (Help -> Debug Output Logging -> Restart with logging enabled), reproducing your problem, and selecting "Send Better BibTeX debug report..." from the help menu.

Once done, you will see a debug ID in red. Please post that debug id in the issue here.

Thank you!

I don't know why people keep ignoring label-gun :sweat: a log as per point 1. really helps.

[retorquere]

please. post. a debug log.

[retorquere]

Try [=book][Title:condense=_]. Don't know if this'll do what you want because I have insufficient information. Closing for inactivity.

Excuse me - was little problems...

Now I us citation key format:

[Auth]_[Title:select=1,3]_[year]

and see citation key as Smith_VeryGoodBook_2020

I want to get: Smith_Very_Good_Book_2020

Must I use [Title:condense=_] - and how?

[=book][Title:condense=_][Auth]_[Title:condense=_]_[year] - do not work

[retorquere]

I need that debug log as described by point 1 by label-gun. It's not an idle request. Without it I'm just guessing and we're wasting both our time. It's disheartening how people keep ignoring request by the issue template, then label-gun, then me.

If you get me a debug log, as per point one, I can get you an exact answer. It's just a few clicks. Please.

This - E59TWU3Q-euc ? Or this - D25486388 ?

[retorquere]

The first, sort of. Please read point 1. by label-gun above. You sent a debug log as described by point 2.

[Nick222]

Excuse me...

Is this good - B4XUNI8N-euc ?

[Nick222]

I understand !!! :)

[Auth]_[Title:select=1,3&Title:condense=_]_[year] - work fine!

Thank You !

[retorquere]

If that does what you want it's by accident - that shouldn't work at all. I'm working on a fix and will then look at the pattern you want.

[Nick222]

ОК :)

[retorquere]

Try [Auth]_[Title:select=1,3:condense=_]_[year]. [Auth]_[Title:select=1,3&Title:condense=_]_[year] couldn't actually have worked but you should have gotten an error while entering it; next release will have that.

[Nick222]

OK, it is working good. :) Thank You !
