Open aksh-sush opened this issue 8 months ago • 4 comments

JabRef version

5.15 (latest release)

Operating system

Windows

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. go to file on left-most top corner
  2. hover to import
  3. click add to current library
  4. a file directory window will pop up
  5. click multiple files
  6. import button is greyed and wont take more than 1 file

Which files do you import? Think of programming juniors not knowing anything about JabRef reading your issue. The dont know where to find import and which files can be imported.

Guess: Two PDF files in the file > import menu?
