I'm not sure I understand the problem, but my workflow may be different.

When I use BibTeX, my bibliography (.bib) is in the same directory as the .tex file I am editing. The style file is in the texmf tree, but the .bib file is kept with my .tex file.

I've used Bookends in the past, but now I hand-code my bib files. Things seem to work OK for me either way. Do you use something else to create your bib files?

Hi everyone -

I'm having a weird problem with LaTeX/BibTeX cite key autocompletion. My bib file is in the appropriate place in the user texmf tree, and BibTeX finds it when I compile the document... but cite key autocompletion does not work ("bib file not found" or something like that).  Cite key autocompletion DOES work if I put the same bib file in the same directory as the TeX file itself.

Thoughts?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Best, Chris MacMinn

I have occasionally encountered this problem, but only in an \include[d] file, when I forget to put the path to the root file at the top. I suppose this is not your problem, but thought I would mention this in case. -- gildas
