Feature request: Protect entries #246

Closed jtplaarj closed 2 years ago

jtplaarj commented 2 years ago

I would find it very interesting if though the use of some bibtex entry I could protect the entry from being updated by betterbib. For example

@article{test,
betterbib = {Do not touch},
title = {Some very nice article},
}

The reason is that sometimes there are very similar articles by the same authors and betterbib updates it to the one I do not want :cry:.

This is now possible: Just add

protect = {true}

to the BibTeX entry and betterbib won't touch it.
