Hey, your changes look promising. Please run openrewrite as instructed by @jabref-machine |

Please use the ellipsis in the localization too. In other languages there might be different ways to indicate this. See NEW_LIBRARY_FROM_PDF_OFFLINE.
Yes, i know, there are still other commands who do it like you did, but these need to be addressed in another PR.

I am aware that .pseudo exists in the cli tool, but can you change this to _pseudo instead here?

@calixtus Could you review the changes please? |
* add pseudonymize option to gui * execute rewrite run * include ellipsis in localization * replace . with _ in pseudo suffix
Closes #14118
To add the button in the GUI, I updated MainMenu and StandardActions to include Pseudonymize Library option. I created a new PseudonymizeAction class extending SimpleCommand - on clicking the button, execute() runs and uses the existing Pseudonymize class to pseudonymize the current library, then exports the result to .pseudo.bib and .pseudo.csv (keys) files.
Steps to test
Load a .bib file or library into JabRef, then go to the "Tools" menu in the Main Menu Bar at the top. Click on Pseudonymize Library. Choose a directory using the dialog and then the files are downloaded. In case there already exists a file with the same name at the same directory, the user is asked if they'd like to override the file or cancel the operation.
