Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe. The record is always imported to the current bib file/group.

Describe the solution you'd like Add an option to choose which file/group to import to.

Additional context Zotero can choose the group in the extension.

What version of JabRef is this?

Also, have you tried File > Import > Import into new library?

Edit: Closely related to #6177, but is NOT a duplicate.

What is different:

  • be able to choose the group during Import
  • Involves the browser extension

@ThiloteE Guess it's referring to the JabRef Browser extension https://docs.jabref.org/collect/jabref-browser-extension It opens the import inspection dialog

I'm using 5.6 but I thought 5.7 doesn't have this either. Looks like this is a duplicate.

Step 1:

  1. Create a new bib file
  2. Open the groups pane Image
  3. Add new group "test" (using context menu)
  4. Open web search (View menu)
  5. Select "DBLP"
  6. Search for "Using static analysis to find bugs"
  7. See the dialog https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/9191#issuecomment-2863121837 popping up

Wish:

  1. The yellow area shows a dropdown with the currently selected group in the library seleted left of it
  2. The other contents of the drop down are the other groups - in alphabetic order (we can do this, because the group names are globally unique)
