Define alternative fields for displaying in main table

[tobiasdiez]

Currently, if an entry does not have an author then nothing is shown in author column of the main table. It would be nice if in such cases JabRef would fall-back and try another field (e.g. editor).
(If this is implemented, the column header should be adapted accordingly, i.e. show "Author / Editor")

The following combinations present themselves:

• Author / Editor
• Journal (Article) / Publisher (Book)
• Title could be supplemented by subtitle (in the case we implement the multi-line display of entries as suggested by sci )

You can just write "author/editor" in the entry table editor and it will happen. (I learned a few weeks ago.)

Or you mean it should be automagic?

Thanks for the tip! In this case, it would be nice if this feature is used by default. Accomplished in #472.

If the issue is fixed in #472 it can be closed, right?

[tobiasdiez]

Yes can be closed.
