Citar already has the features I wanted

[danielnemenyi]

I just want to say thank you very much for this excellent package.

I was about to ask for some features which I now realise Citar already supports. That is...

Associating notes and pdfs which are kept in nested directories. I solved this with:

(setq nem/notes-paths (directory-files-recursively "~/Ebooks" "\\`[^.]*\\'" 't))
(setq citar-notes-paths nem/notes-paths)
(setq citar-library-paths nem/notes-paths)

Not only picking up notes and pdfs which are stored in citar-notes-paths and citar-library-paths which have basenames that correspond to the bib keys but also picking up the arbitrarily listed notes in a bibtex file entry.

@Article{berardi2009:_image_dispos,
  author = 	 {Berardi, Franco (Bifo)},
  title = 	 {The Image Dispositif},
  journaltitle = {Cultural Studies Review},
  file =         {/home/dan/Ebooks/Philosophy/Foucault/2ndary-lit/bifo-the_image_dispositif.pdf}}

Picking up arbitrary keys in citar-templates. Specifically, the special notelocation bibtex key I use to store the location of my paper notes.

(setq citar-templates
      '((main . "${author editor:30%sn} ${date year issued:4}     ${title:48}")
        (suffix . "          ${=key= id:15}    ${=type=:12}    ${tags keywords:*}  ${notelocation:*}")
        (preview . "${author editor:%etal} (${year issued date}) ${title}, ${journal journaltitle publisher container-title collection-title}.\n")
        (note . "Notes on ${author editor:%etal}, ${title}")))

Thanks once again!
