It "Works for me"(tm).

The dialog when adding documents is really nice, even if I was a bit
disapointed to be unable to tag the "metadata-lacking" documents from
here. It would be really nice to have some way to track metadata-lacking
documents, but it should definitely not prevent you from releasing what
you have right now!
It also allowed me to realize that it was unable to extract the text
from my postcript papers (not sure if it is new or not).

I also add a problem with the doi detection for this paper:
http://compbiol.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.0030109
It found something but added some junk at the end, which I don't see in
the output of pdftotext.

Thanks also for the exception-catched dialog for plugins! The
explanations coming from the lyx plugin are a bit rough but at least
they appear.

One other glitch, now that I have fully tested the pdf production with
referencer-inserted citation in lyx: the accentuated characters are not
protected in the bibtex keys (they are in the other fields). Does bibtex
support special characters in keys at all ? I'm not a lyx/latex guru
(and I would LOVE to avoid becoming one) so I might be just doing
something wrong here...

Anyway, this will make a rocking release, and let's hope it will attract
more eyes on referencer ;)

Best regards.
