BibFile Manager acts as a cross-referencing "electronic file cabinet" to help researchers organize, annotate, and easily retrieve research materials like journal articles. An ASCII .bib file is generated every time a new journal article is added to the reference library through BibFile Manager. BibFile Manager is a Google Apps Script attached to a Google Sheet. The script provides a PDF viewer that can be used to make comments (annotations) within a journal article, and to tag the paper with user-defined topics. Annotations are treated as separate documents for the purpose of topic-tagging, and therefore can be found independently of the host paper in search queries. A somewhat crude (at the moment) but efficient search engine is also made available through BibFile Manager which uses the tagged topics as search keys to find specific papers and/or annotations.

bibman's Issues

Row-highlighting feature in the PDF FILE LIST sheet is causing edits in the ADS/Google ID column to be written in Column A

Entering new papers to be added to the reference library by typing ADS BibCodes into the ADS BibCode/Google ID column is not working as intended due to a highlighting feature that was added "at the last minute" before the code was originally submitted to GitHub. The way that the highlighting is performed -- having Google make the row that the cursor is located "active" -- apparently makes typing into a single cell of the active row impossible. Anything typed in the active cells ends up landing in Column A.

The fix? Removing the highlighting feature, whose only purpose was to make it easier for the user to figure out which row they were on.
