It was Bibliographix, I think it's primarily used in Germany. I totally
agree that space separated keywords are crap and referencer shouldn't
care about that too much. If it is anyhow intended to have some sort of
BibTeX-Keywords-to-Tags conversion, this could also be one-way. Maybe
have an option to tell whether the BibTeX-Keywords are space- or
comma-separated and then split them into Tags. If export of tags as
Keywords is needed, I think comma-separated should be enough - unless
anybody finds a spec for BibTeX-Keywords saying anything contrary.
The python script I wrote uses space-separation, but this could very
easily be changed. The script was a quick-and-dirty attempt to deal with
what I had, not to deal with any possible constellations.
Cheers,
Frederik
