Hi,

Best wishes to all of you for the new year.

My problems where fixed before I left for xmas, thanks.
I just did a checkout on my home computer. You made an awesome work
during the break, I hope that 2008 will see a great release of
referencer ;)

I still have some problems getting some metadata. It may be just that my
home network access is flacky right now, but it works for other papers
and fails reliably for some others... Can you check if you get metadata
properly from pubmed for these doi ?

10.1016/S0022-5193(03)00201-7      this one is not found manually
10.1093/bioinformatics/bti1130     this one is on pubmed
10.1016/j.biosystems.2005.10.002   this one is found but not filled
(authors and title are).


The updated views works fine for me, the icon view is a bit weird at
first, but I like it.

It looks like the new metadata plugin system is fully functionnal now.
I just have one complain with the two-tabbed pref dialog: you could use
one single tab by removing the proxy config (puttng a button to launch
the corresponding capplet) and adding a "currently-selected-plugin" pref
panel bellow the plugin list.

Thanks again for your work, referencer will make my life much easier
now!

Best regards
