Re: Tellico 1.3.3 Released

Hi Robby,

Thanks for the new release (and congratulations).

I will try to upload the package tonight before I go on holiday in Devon
and Cornwall for a full week tomorrow morning. Hopefully 1.3.3 will make
it to Lenny in time.

Thanks again,

Regis

Great. Thanks.

Does not seem to work for me :-(

This is what I tried:

* open the abstract of a typical article in firefox, e.g. 
http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.76.115419
* Switch "Article Options" to "View Citation(s) in BibTeX"
* Press "Go"
-> the bibtex file is opened directly in firefox
* drag the URL line from the browser onto Tellico
-> Tellico does not react at all :-(

-- When I drag the same URL to the KDE desktop, KDE asks for a file name 
and then saves the URL itself into that file (instead of the bibtex content)

-- When I do the same from KDE konqueror, Tellico does not react either.

Thanks for poking at it. :) Tellico asks for the mime-type from the url and 
expects it to be text/x-bibtex or application/x-bibtex for bibtex files. So 
even it it doesn't end with .bib, if the http server reports a mimetype, it 
should work. 

For your example, when you select "open in firefox", the web server sends a 
text/plain type, which Tellico doesn't know what to do with. Using 
the "download to firefox" option sends a application/bibtex type, so it 
looks like I need to add that.

But evidently, not many servers use a bibtex mimetype. Not even Google 
scholar, which uses text/plain.

Konqueror and Firefox do handle drag/drop differently. One uses URLs as 
text, the other as a link. I tried to handle both, but you can see it

OK, since you let me know you actually care... :) I made a special case 
check for text/plain and bibtex format. Using your DOI example, dragging 
the "view citation in bibtex" url from both firefox and konqueror works for 
Tellico now.

Just found this message when I returned after my holidays. Thanks for 
the effort! Looking forward to try it out.
