How do I create multiple entries in Jabref from bibtex data? - bibtex

Suppose I have bibtex data for, say, 10 articles. Is there a way to, within jabref, create 10 entries from this?
A solution is to just open the .bib file and paste the data in.

Select the text that forms the BibTex source of the multiple data entries and drag this into the library view of JabRef. You could probably drag all the files in, however I have not tested this.

go to File, Append Database. then browse in to bibtex files folder, you can select multiple files in a row, then click ok, if you have 20 bibtex or txt files, they will be all loaded to one bib file. It was great, solved my problem.

I often get BibTeX source code from citeulike.org, and I copy/paste this BibTeX source directly into JabRef by:
Menu: BibTex -> New Entry (Ctrl^N, or the green + button)
select a random type; I typically just pick Article
Down the bottom, in the new edit view, select the BibTeX source tab
Replace the BibTeX source in that tab, with that of one paper
And repeat this for all papers.
(OT: also, make sure to check the Web search menu.)

Latex .bib orgenizing in overleaf

I am writing a big file in overflow using latex. I will have a ton of references in one .bib file. I would like to organize the .bib file so it is easier to use. I am thinking of some drop down menus (the effect you get when usint \section{} for example). Problem is everytime I open the .bib file the drop down menus are open, I would like for them to be closed. Other suggestions for orgenizing the file is highly appritiated.
Tried with mulitbib but that did not give my desiered result. I only want one big reference list at the end of the document.

AutoCad - one layout to multiple pages PDF

My project is made with all pages (sheets) in one layout (screenshots in attachment).
I tried everything to export (or plot) the project in PDF with every page on different sheet (ready for printing) with no luck.
P.S. It looks like project is already organized in some grid system, but can anyone help me with solution on how to export every of those cells to one PDF sheet?
Try to create a command tool that executes a print to pdf command sequence.
Here's a ready command sequence for printing Landscape A4 PDF.
*^C^C-PLOT;Y;Model;autocad pdf (general documentation).pc3;ISO A4 (297.00 x 210.00 MM);M;L;N;Window;\RESUME;Fit;Center;Y;acad.ctb;Y;;\;Y;
but you will have to manually select the printing window for each cell and assign a new name for each file.
you will end with multiple pdf files which you can join them later in one file if you like.
Here's a picture for a similar custom command I used before

Handling filetypes that contain multiple files?

Some filetypes in Visual Studio includes more then one file, for example resx and winform files. So If I need to add existing filetyp of this type I always end upp with multiple files in solution explorer? Are thay not supose to be shown as one file based on there name?
BestRegards

Multiple file is the part of ProjectItem template. If you add WinFor you will always get several files.
If you don't want to use such template you can create your own template from code created ones with File->Export Template wizard.
To group files in solution explorer read this post

Is there a way to organize a icon collection to allow for easy searching?

Is there any way of organizing a icon collection so that it easier to find needed icons?
For example:
the program needs a save icon
there are 5 icons collections on your HD that have a save icon and there are 5 more collections that don't have a save icon (but you don't know that)
do you browse through each icon collection?
run a search (assumes files are named consistently)?
Would it be ideal to have some sort of organized directory (printable?)?
UPDATE
My process so far:
Use XXCopy to merge all icon folders into one folder.
Syntax = xxcopy "C:\Documents and Settings\jm\My Documents\Icons" "C:\Documents and Settings\jm\My Documents\All_Icons" /s /sr
Use Contact Sheets to add all files from the super folder and then export out contact sheets for all the images. This should sort them alphabetically.
Print and put in a binder -> now to find the actual file all you need to do is browse the binder, find the filename, and then search via Windows for the actual folder location.
In Visual Studio, there is a ZIP file with icons organized in folders. The organization is mostly by filetype and image size, is pretty messy, and contains many duplicates, so you should probably not follow their example.
However, they provide a HTML file in each folder that shows the icons in that folder in a nice readable list (better than Explorer's standard preview). You could do something similar, but maybe provide a table instead, for example with one column per collection, and one row per "concept" (e.g. save icon).

How to start the associated program when selecting more than one files?

I have set .jpg file associated to my own program. I want to add the context menu to .jpg files, so I set the entry of HKCR.jpg\shell\open\command to "myProg.exe %1". After associating, there will be an item on the top of the context menu saying "Open image with myprog". This works right when I select a single .jpg file, but when I selected more than one file and click the top item of the context menu, nothing happended. How can I solve the problem?
Thank you very much
Each selected file will be sent to a new instance of your application. Your application should check if a previous version exists, or not. If a previous instance exists, it should sent its parameters to it (e.g. using Windows Messages) and then terminate.
Another approach is to use DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange), an old method used by Shell to send all files to one instance of your program.
You might need double quotes around the "%1".
Read this article for much more detailed information about how all this works.
