* Archived many refs from OMEGA.bib into archiv.bib
* Those archived included many refs of that were of interest in my previous scientific research, but that are less pertinent to my current research. So the big single database file blob was parsed down to a smaller one (maybe 30-50% less lines).
* Performed manually, over course of a workday, but this was sped up immensely with a help of a keyboard shortcut associated to a vim macro that with a single keystroke cuts and appends the bib reference to an external file and then sets cursor to the next ref. Had worked out this macro functionality this past weekend. This made navigating from reference to reference, for a quick scan of the title and abstract, and making a decision, sometimes in less than 0.5s, other times taking several secs to make a decision.
* Used the following mapping in vim:
:map <F2> :norm@a<CR>:delete<CR>:silent !./cutbib<CR>:norm@b<CR>
where cutbib is a file containing `wl-paste >> archiv.bib`
and @a=v% and @b=n so that search next leads to a visual
delimiter-to-delimiter highlight, giving the lines for the cut
(delete and cutbib) operation.
* diff with this commit shows just three small changes made when
initially opening and re-writing the omega.bib bibtex file with jabref.
* jabref added a utf encoding msg on first line
* jabref added a short config comment on last line
* converted and rewrote fields for an old Seung:2000 reference---this
one had a field called 'ps' (something inherited from endnote/medline
import 18 years ago!) which jabref doesn't like as ps and pdf are old
deprecated field names for external files. So that field was changed
slightly by jabref. I also changed the Bdsk-Url-1 reference to a doi
field for jabref to use.
* 'Bdsk-File' fields have base64 encoded macos url strings. These
strings were converted into file paths relative to the datbase, the
papers directory.
