Adding current folder to bibtex-completion-bibliography

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 1 comments

I tried something like

(setq bibtex-completion-bibliography '("SOME PATH" "./"))

so that when I try to open the pdf of the selection it look at the current folder as well. It does not work!

This variable is used to specify BibTeX files that should be loaded, not directories. Please have a look at the documentation and the examples in the README.org.

To configure the directories used to locate PDFs, use bibtex-completion-pdf-field. There's currently no way to dynamically include the current directory, but you could write a wrapper around helm-bibtex or ivy-bibtex that temporarily sets bibtex-completion-pdf-field such that it includes the current directory.
