Now I am switching to helm-bibtex, which is pretty awesome. I have a couple of question about the note files. Org-ref uses a single file to keep notes (e.g. notes.org), but helm-bibtex assumes that notes are kept in separate files, one per article. My questions are: a) Do you have a preference in the single file vs multiple files question? Are advantages/disadvantages? I tend to prefer the single file option, it makes search easy and also I can add TODO items that later I can pull out in the agenda view. With multiple files this would not be as easy. Do you agree? b) Helm-bibtex identifies which references have a note file, adding a symbol on the reference list. Can we make helm-bibtex look into a single file (say the "notes.org" file), look for the :Custom_ID: properties of the entries, and use that to mark the reference list? I am teaching myself emacs-lisp but this is above my capacity right now. Many thanks, Julian
