The entry editor offers autocompletion of words. In the **File → Preferences → Entry editor**, you can enable or disable autocompletion, and choose for which fields autocompletion is active.

With autocompletion, JabRef records all words that appear in each of the chosen fields throughout your database. Whenever you write the beginning of one of these words, it will be suggested visually. To ignore the suggestion, simply write on. To accept the suggestion, either press Enter or use your arrow keys or other keys to remove the selection box around the suggested characters.

## Adding a custom export filter

The only requirement for a valid export filter is the existence of a file with the extension **.layout**. To add a new custom export filter, open the dialog box **Options → Preferences**, go to the section **Custom export formats**, and click on **Add**. A new dialog box will appear, allowing you to specify a name for the export filter \(which will appear as one of the choices in the File type dropdown menu of the file dialog when you use the **File → Export** menu choice in the JabRef window\), the path to the **.layout** file, and the preferred file extension for the export filter \(which will be the suggested extension in the file dialog when you use the export filter\). Note that if you intend to use the custom export filter also for "Copy...-&gt;Export to Clipboard" in the maintable, the extension must be one of the following: `txt`, `rtf`, `rdf`, `xml`, `html`, `htm`, `csv`, or `ris`.

JabRef enables setting a directory per database. When sharing a library across multiple persons, each user might have a different directory. Either, each user can set his directory in the "Main file directory". In case the group also shares papers and thus there are two directories (the private one and a group-shared one), one can set a directory within the library (the "General file directory"). In case a user has a different location of the shared folder (e.g., different paths on Linux and Windows), he can use the "User-specific file directory". This setting is persisted in the `bib` file in a way that it does not overwrite the setting of another user. For this, JabRef uses the username of the currently logged-in user (`-<loginname>` is used as a suffix in the `jabref-meta` field). So, both `mary` and `aileen` can set a different user-specific file directory.

If JabRef saves an attached file and my login name matches the name stored in the `bib` file, it chooses that directory. If no match is found, it uses the "General file directory" of the bib file. If that is not found, it uses the one configured at Options → Preferences → Linked files.

In some settings, the bib file is stored in **the same directory** as the PDF files. Then, one ignores all the above directories and enable "Search and store files relative to library file location". In this case, JabRef starts searching for PDF files in the directory of the `bib` file. It is also possible to achieve this result by setting `.` as "General file directory" in the library properties.
