Improve arxiv parsing

[tobiasdiez]

JabRef version

5.13 (latest release)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

No response

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• [X] I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• [X] I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Have an entry with fields note: arXiv: 1503.05173 version: 1 and institution: arxiv and eid: arXiv:1503.05173
2. Run cleanup entries with "Move preprint information from 'URL' and 'journal' field to the 'eprint' field"
3. Entry is not changed.

Instead, one would expect that the information in these fields is also moved to the correct information in the eprint* fields.

You can submit a PR without being assigned.

I think, the eprint field needs to contain more information.

@tobiasdiez Can you please detail which information you expect in the eprint field? Is there any description of the syntax?

The current proposal just sets 1503.05173 and drops institution and version. I don't think, this is expected. Is it?

Eprint should be just the id perhaps with the version (e.g. 1503.05173v2), "arxiv" should be in eprinttype. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/49757/what-should-an-entry-for-arxiv-entries-look-like-for-biblatex

Hello @tobiasdiez and @koppor, I've implemented the requested changes to ensure the Eprint field contains the ID along with the version. I've submitted a pull request with these modifications. Could you please review the PR and the code changes? I'm open to any feedback or suggestions for further improvements if needed. Thank you for your guidance on this issue.
