A GUI for automated import of BibTeX entries #29

Description

@tthuem

The process of adding new BibTeX entries as well as downloading and renaming papers involves numerous manual tasks:

  1. Searching for a BibTeX entry in the web in a particular order (ACM, DBLP, Springer, ...).
  2. Cleaning up the BibTeX entry (see example below for ACM)
  3. Allow manual modifications to the entry, such as adding tags
  4. Inserting the new BibTeX entry into an existing BibTeX file
  5. Searching for a PDF and downloading it to a particular folder with a certain name

It would be nice to have a tiny GUI, which automates these tasks as far as possible.
