Refine "Find unlinked files" dialog #13689

@koppor

Description

@koppor

Follow-up to #9798

Background: JabRef can link PDF files to the current library using the Search for unlinked local files functionality.

Currently, it does NOT link to existing entries

Example:

Corti_2009 - Cocoa and Cardiovascular Health.pdf exists

Use Chocolate.bib

Trigger searching for unlinked local files

If one clicks "Import", a new entry will be creatd.

There should be a column for existing entries.


The "Search for unlinked files" (Lookup -> Find unlinked files) dialog should get two columns as search result. Currently 1.

  • column 1: file x@folder y (as it is currently; with checkmarks)
  • column 2: candidate entry (citation key. If clicked, main table jumps to that entry)

In case no candidate entry exists, "" is put in.

If possible: In case two (or more) candidate entries exist, the cell turns into a dropdown. The jump link is next to the drop down.
