Bada Bib!

Bada Bib! is a simple BibTeX Viewer and Editor written in Python and GTK. It is build around the python-bibtexparser library, which it uses for parsing and writing BibTeX entries.

Features

• View, edit, sort, filter, and search BibTeX databases.
• View and edit BibTeX strings or import strings from external files.
• Customizable editor layouts.
• Shortcuts for common operations, such as protecting upper case letters or converting between unicode and LaTeX.

Caveats

• Bada Bib! is still under development, and you will run into bugs using it. Please open issues for any bug or any flaws in the code, I am not an experienced GTK programmer. Finally, please make sure you have backups of your files!
• Bada Bib! is not supposed to be a replacement for fully fledged reference managers such as JabRef, KBibTeX, Mendeley, Zotero, and others.
• Bada Bib! can be annoyingly slow when working with large databases or databases with a large number of strings.
• Bada Bib! automatically recognizes if an expression is the name of a string and treats it as such. That is, if @string { foo = "bar" } is defined, foo will be treated as a string, unless it is enclosed in braces {foo}.
• Bada Bib! does not have a lot of settings and exposes even fewer of them to the user. This will hopefully change in the future.
