custom export filter cannot be used

[alick]

• I have tested the latest master version from http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and the problem persists

JabRef version 4.2+ on Fedora 27

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a custom export filter https://github.com/alick/jabref-export/tree/master/listrefs with the name 'test'
2. Export a selected bib entry
3. In the save file dialog, look for the custom filter entry in the popdown filter list.
4. There are two 'HTML list file (*.html)' entries in the popdown list. Neither gives the custom result. No entry for 'test'.

Notes:

• I think I might have filename clash with shipped filter. But after I changed my custom one to a new name, the result is still the same.
• With JabRef 4.1, the 'test' filter appears in the popdown list, but with a wrong suffix (DEFAULT) although it is .html in the 'Manage custom export' dialog.

There is a version that should fix this at https://builds.jabref.org/fixCustomExportFileType/ Please try it out.

Hi, I tried it out and seems it was not fixed correctly. Now I see two 'test (*.html)' entries, but neither entries use my customized filter.

Thanks for the feedback, I could reproduce that and I think I found a way to fix this. At least my tests were succesful. Could you please try the updated version here? https://builds.jabref.org/fixCustomExportFileType/
The current version contains the commit id 1a0cde3 in the version number

@Siedlerchr It is fixed. Yay! Thanks a lot.

I have been monitoring this issue since it arose in v4.1 (I am a longtime use, not developer, and we use the custom export routinely). I've tested the posted 4.3 dev snapshop version and confirm that - for me after a series of tests - it is working fine.

I'll close the issue for now. Please help get the fix merged to new release :)

[Siedlerchr]

Please leave the issue open as long as the fix is not yet merged in master. The issue will be auto closed after merge.

Will this version be merged with master? After updating to 4.2, none of our custom export filters were showing up. This patch seems to fix it.

The version will soon be merged with master. The latest version of the branch already is based on master. Just some minor internal code changes and the PR will be merged. See the PR for details
