Cannot load JabRef

[rvb-033]

Good afternoon,
I am using Jabref 3.8.1 on Windows 10 and I cannot open JabRef. I have been using it since ages and changed nothing that I know on my machine. I managed to restart it yesterday by re-installing the package and suppressing the keyword list (large, probably +/- 1000) from the .bib file and had to redefine all my preferences. This morning the thing did not want to load again whatever the database I am using.
My nominal database file is currently 4 053ko.
Latest version (4.3.1) does not want to load either.
Can you help ?
Thanks by advance,
Hervé

Probably you have either some JabRef Instance open in the task manager (try to kill all JabRef proceses)
And then try the latest development verison.
Please make a backup of your bib file before.

Thanks,
I installed the latest version 5.0 snapshot and it seems to work.
Do you know if and when the feature enabling to sort the entry table on the three columns criteria will be restored in V5.0 ?
Case sensitive keywords is a great idea, So is the filter on keywords. The couniting mechanism of each keyword number of occurence works without overloading the machine. I dit not use V4.n because I never found how to toggle it off.
Regards,
Hervé

@rvb-033 The three column filter is already implemented. but works a bit different now. It uses the native mechanisms of the tables.
You can sort by multiple columns if you click on the table header and press shift to select other (e.g. author ascending + shift + click on title column header ) By holding shift and clicking on the table column header, you can also switch between ascending/descending

Good evening. I just tested the sorting method. It works fine. So far, V5.0 works OK for me and I can load my database without problems. I don't undestand why my V3.n stopped working. I think you can close the ticket. Thanks for your help. Regards, Hervé Le lun. 12 nov. 2018 à 09:57, Christoph <notifications@github.com> a écrit :
