Debugging information |
The simplest way to get SRA-Helper running is to download the compiled program and run it.
You will see this icon: 
in the system tray when the program is running.
Simply hit any of the above keys to run that function. The keys will only work when viewing an EndNote citation library (no other screen within EndNote). It is recommended that you create the groups before trying to move references to them. Note: The subwindow (small window) within endnote must be maximized for the program to work.
| Filename | Description |
|---|---|
| SRA-Helper-Bond.exe | SRA-Helper for Bond University |
| SRA-Helper-Monash.exe | SRA-Helper for Monash University |
| SRA-Helper-Queensland-Health.exe | SRA-Helper for Queensland Health |
Unfortunately for reasons outside of our control, Microsoft can occasionally flag this project as a virus. This is probably because the SRA-Helper tool remaps a couple of keys which can seem like viral activity to some virus scanners.
To work around this:
- Download the SRA-Helper project as a zip file
- Unzip this file and folders somewhere on your computer
- To run, double click on the
SRA-Helper.batfile in that directory
CAVEAT EMPTOR: This tool is really just a key remapper. It applies the various shortcuts within EndNote to manipulate the library as needed. Since its pretty 'hacky' the user should be aware that there may be side-effects.
If you find any bugs please contact the developer and we will do our best to address them.
