           Summary: okular feature request: Export to bibtex

           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel kde org

Version:           svn trunk (using Devel)

I use okular for most all paper-reading I do, and in an academic setting, it is important to keep track of the papers I read for later use in citations. 

It would be nifty if okular had a simple "Export bibtex entry" option. Say I'm reading a pdf -- if this action were selected, okular would parse the pdf for a DOI number (or prompt for manual entry), fetch the citation info, and either display the bibtex entry information to copy/paste or automatically append it to a kbibtex file. Also, the document's location would be stored in kbibtex, simplifying finding the entry later on.
