To test this. Create a new library, add some entries and create a new automatic keyword group without a name. save the library and reopen
Hi, I am the university of adelaide student. Our group would like to sovle the issue. I think the solution above consider abnormally formatted data. Can I have the test file?
amazing, I was able to open the file in JabRef on macOS. Thanks again, great work! Will leave the ticket open until it gets fixed in the code by the devs
I could reproduce this now with another library. Saving is not a problem, but on opening the parser fails to properly parse the group structure (off by one)
@alfureu Good news. I found the issue and a fix for you is simple. The problem is that the Keyword Group for the field priority did not have a name! At the end of the file, where the group metadata is defined replace:
2 KeywordGroup:\;0\;priority\;prio1\;1\;0\;1\;0x8a8a8aff\;\;\;;with2 KeywordGroup:Test\;0\;priority\;prio1\;1\;0\;1\;0x8a8a8aff\;\;\;;and voila it works again 😃
I will do more tests to find how this could be even possible to prevent such cases in the future.
Thanks! Received it!
