Bibfilex is an open source, multi-platform and free software project that allows you to create and manage archives of bibliographical items, including articles and books. It is a bibliographic manager for Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

What New in Bibfilex 1.2.6:

• New functionality to check for double items in the file in use (see menu item "Tools - Check for double items...").
• If the sort field is "ID Item", when a file is opened, the last item is selected.
• The shortcut "Ctrl + N" creates a new article.
• The smart filter, if the selected field is "author", will select all the items that contain the text to be searched, and not just that begin with it.
• The field of the smart filter is remembered by the software.
• In the "Abstract" and "Review" fields the shortcut "Ctrl + Shift + Q" inserts the \cite command along with the bibtex key of the current item; if this will be changed, it will be possibly updated also in these fields.
• The autocompletion is activated also by "Ctrl + Shift + Space bar", useful for OS X users.
• Bugs fixing.

The main features of the software are:

• store the items according to each one of the entry types described in the Biblatex manual (book, article, etc.);
• import the content of a file in Biblatex format like a JabRef database, a BibTex file exported from Mendeley or downloaded from Google Books;
• export data in a Biblatex file;
• import and export data from a Bibfilex file to another along with possible attachments;
• filter the items on a single field;
• filter the items by keywords;
• filter the items on three fields or less, or modify manually the SQL statement of the filter to work on more fields or to make it more suitable or complex;
• filter the items by the BibTex keys contained in a Latex document within a \cite{}
• command or the like;
• replace the citation commands (\cite, etc.) and \printbibliography command in a Latex document with extended citations and bibliography, which are composed according to a user defined pattern, and convert the resulting file in other formats with Pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc);
• associate various attachments (files of every kind) to each item; the attachments are zipped and stored in a directory with the same name and path of the Bibfilex file in use, and automatically managed by the software; the number of attachments is limited only
• by the available disk space;
• activate auto completion of data in each field with “Ctrl + Space”;
• compose the citation of one or more items according to a user defined pattern, and copy them in the clipboard in Latex or HTML format; in the last case, the citation may be pasted in a word processor like Writer or Word maintaining font formatting (italic, small
• caps, etc.);
• create automatically unique BibTex keys according to a pattern defined by the user in an item, in the filtered items or in all the items of the file in use;
• store a specific keyword in a buffer and insert or remove it easily within the selected item with a shortcut;
• specify the fields (columns) shown in the grid view of the data;
• insert easily special characters and keywords with a dedicated form;
• go easily to a specified item with bookmarks;
• copy in the current item the content of some fields of another item referenced by the crossref field;
• check for double items in the file in use.
