Updating local bibliography file about citr HOT 5 OPEN

Hi Michał, thanks for reaching out. This is a great point. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have time to implement this any time soon, but I'll definitely keep this in mind. I have run into this issue several times myself. I'd also be happy to review a pull request that implements such a function. 😉

I have put this on hold (see related discussion: #39) because I'm currently working on a new way to implement the integration with Zotero that should hopefully address this problem. In the mean time, I think you best bet is to export the entire Zotero bibliography to a bib-file and run tidy_bib_file() on it. Be sure to use the latest GitHub version of citr though.

That sounds like a reasonable approach, thanks for sharing. 👍

@crsh, any updates on this feature?

First of all, thanks a lot for creating this add-in! It greatly simplifies the process of adding citations in Rmarkdown files.

Also, after I asked you for the updates, I played a little with Zotero and found that you can export a Zotero collection (I am thinking of making one collection per paper that can be nested within a project) as a *.bib file with auto sync option enabled and place it in the same folder where the main *.Rmd file is. Then, add the bibliography: "*.bib" line in the YAML of the main *.Rmd file.

I am thinking of going this route as Connect and load libraries option for the Zotero integration will fetch the entire library, which I don't need when I am writing a specific paper, and make the citation process a little slower (or considerably slower?) as the library grows over time.

Note: I installed the Better BibTeX for Zotero as per your README file from here: http://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/ before exporting the collection as shown in the following gif file.
