Generic way to store preferences in .bib file #558

Jabref allows to store part of its settings in a database-specific way directly in a given .bib file: https://docs.jabref.org/setup/databaseproperties
I would find super useful to be able to store more of these parameters (use case: a big group of collaborators working on a database under version control, with a lot of settings that we currently need to maintain for every collaborator separately).
Given that all the preferences for Jabref can already be exported/imported with an .xml file, could it be possible to automatically load all of these settings from the .bib file in a similar fashion as from an .xml file, in case they are present in a database when opening it? Or does Jabref only support globally setting some of these values?

In particular I would need the following settings:

  • mainTableColumnNames
  • mainTableColumnSortTypes
  • mainTableColumnSortOrder
  • customTabName_0
  • customTabFields_0
  • useOwner
  • addCreationDate
  • reformatFileOnSaveAndExport
  • useRemoteServer
  • bibLocAsPrimaryDir
  • customizedBibtexTypes

Thanks!
