Finding duplicates

  • What icon?
  • What does "continue" mean? --> It means "import both duplicates". Though Jabref has "merge" function. Why isn't is merging them semi-automatically right away??

Blue text color in dark theme

Now I'm merging the two references and literally can't read the text in blue. The dark scheme has been tested quite well, I guess...

No entries found on Google Scholar should not raise any exception

Searching for the next reference, I get this, and this is not a rare situation.
If the source doesn't have the reference, the usual behavior is to continue showing "Processing ". No such thing as a definitive "not found".

Search does not produce good results

Searching for Ethereum yellow paper just by the author name yielded unexpected results.

Not sure what we can do about that? --> We decided that we cannot do anything here.
