Hi again Titus and list so the semester is finally nearing the end which means i finally have some time (and a life :)) to get back to what i partially started a few months ago. i have a question regarding Predefined searches. i have a search that works well for searching papers i authored. i am thinking of moving towards 2 bib files instead of 1 big one, that is one for my papers and one for the rest (any disadvantages of using 2 bib files?). i want to add in the Predefined search to only draw from my file (mypaper.bib), even though in the default helm-bibtex sources it will have 2 inputs. is such a thing possible? this is how a current search i have looks like #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results none ;; Define helm-search with predefined search expression: (defun helm-bibtex-ikloog-publications () "Search BibTeX entries authored by me" (interactive) (helm :sources '(helm-source-bibtex) :full-frame t :input "kloog !unpublished !prep " :candidate-number-limit 500)) #+END_SRC how does one add the specific .bib file filter? best Z On Sun, May 31, 2015 at 7:23 PM, Titus von der Malsburg wrote: > > On 2015-05-31 Sun 03:01, Xebar Saram wrote: > > Thanks so much everyone for these great replies. i will investigate this > > further today and let everyone know how im going with my transition :) > > > > thanks again > > > > PS: Titus, do you think that the helm-bibtex APA style reference list > > could be user customizable in the future? > > Depends on what you mean by customizable.
