Add the option to save selected entries as plain BibTeX. #48
Conversation
Adds a new menu option called "Save selected as plain BibTeX ...". This option behaves the same way as the existing "Save selected as ..." option, except that the JabRef metadata and signature comment are not written to the resulting output file.

Thank you for your pull request. The feature is interesting. I would suggest to improve code quality a little bit by applying one of suggestions of the Item 40: Design method signatures carefully of the Effective Java book: Prefer two-element enum types to boolean parameters |
Instead of a boolean that determines whether or not plain BibTeX is exported, an enum is now used that differentiates between the default and plain export options. The use of an enum provides flexibility that facilitates the addition of further format customisation options in the future.

@simonharrer That's an excellent suggestion. The use of an enum facilitates easily adding further export customisations in future, if desired. I've updated the code accordingly. |
