Background
JabRef has suport to abbreviate and unabbreviate journal names: https://docs.jabref.org/advanced/journalabbreviations
With #9504 , JabRef has much better internal handling of journal lists.
Feature
The dropdown of JabRef should not show a single "JabRef built in list", but should show the various lists we offer.
Steps:
Create a good title for the list
Option 1: Make https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org/tree/main/journals#readme a table and parse the table
Option 2: Hard-code .csv file and journal list title (This is a quick win)
Option 3: Add title to CSV file (The title could be added (using # which indicates a comment)) - refs second item of Improve journal list handling jabref-koppor#48
Instead of a dropdown, have a list of
build-in lists
external lists
custom list
Similar to "Databases" at SLR:
Or similar to the "Protected Terms File"
Then, one can enable and disable with a click.
Attention: There are dotless and dot abbreviation lists - maybe the UI should distinguish them, too.
List of journals will be hard-coded
MVStore should store each list in a separate table
Converter needs to be adapted
The yellow one should be replaced, the green one should be kept - and updated upon selection change at the yellow one.
Optionally, online lists could be downloaded - User could point to https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org/tree/main/journals and select a list from there - or "just" put a CSV online link.
