Hello everybody,
I would like to provide a patch for the ox-bibtex.el module which can
now handle bibtexfile destinations of the form:
#+BIBLIOGRAPHY: /home/user/Literature/foo.bib plain option:-d
but still accepts bibfiles in the working directory.
I really like this module as it makes on-the-fly literature referencing
so easy, but I really missed the "feature" to use include global
bib-files for example. As I recognized other users had the same feeling,
as these threads on the list show:
- problem of path in using ox-bibtex, Joseph Vidal-Rosset, 2014-01-05
08:35:58 GMT
- [O] ox-bibtex: How to use Bib file in a different directory?,
Richard Stanton, 2014-02-17 11:09:39 -8:00.
As motivation I think this solution is more convenient than creating
symbolic links or changing environment variables/config-files.
I used functions like 'file-name-base`, so in principle this
implementation should be OS-independent but I did not test this, maybe
this should be tried for MS-OS paths for example.
Hope this is of any use.
Best,
Konrad Herbst

Great. I have had to deal with creating symlinks in my working directory and have never liked it.

Thanks for the patch -- it goes beyond what can be accepted without
signing the FSF copyright assignment. Would you be willing to sign
it? Here is the form:
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/plain/request-assign-future.txt
Also, maybe John K. and other bibtex experts can have a look at the
patch and comment it?
Thanks,

Hello,
thanks.
I am quite new to this. What is about this FSF copyright assignment
Bastien mentioned? I filled it and send it to assign@gnu.org but since
then nothing happened. How long does this usually take?
Best,
Konrad

Aloha Konrad,
IIRC, it took my assignment about a month to be completed.
All the best,
Tom

Mine too - I don't remember the details, so don't hold me to it, but I
think I found out that it had gone through from Bastien first, rather
than the FSF. Eventually, I think I got a signed copy of the assignment
from the FSF (I don't remember whether it was a scanned PDF in email, or
a paper copy in snail mail), but it took a few more days/weeks.
So don't give up hope yet.
