Simple but effective tool to view/search bibtex files.
Just run:
python -m BibTexExplorer FILE.bib
and you will have a quick view of the contents of your BibTex file.
- Sort entries by clicking on the column headers.
- Filter entries by entering a date range or some words in the author, journal and title fields.
- Press Ctrl-R to clear filters
- Double-click on a key to open the PDF (if a PDf with the same name as the key exists in the same folder as your bib file).
- Right-click on an entry to copy the BibTex code.
By default, the app shows my favorite fields key, year, citations (which I grab from Google Scholar and include them in my BibTex files), author, journal and title. If you want to show other fields, just edit the code to your needs (BibTexExplorer.TableWidget.populate and other functions within the TableWidget file).
