Importing keyterms

Extra keyterms can be imported. This is done through menu File / Keyterms / Import.

The file that will be imported has to adhere to certain standards. The various files with keyterms that come with Bibledit show what the format of the textfiles should be.

There are several different types of textfiles than can be imported.

1. There is the Standard textfile. Samples of this type of file are in the bibledit distribution or are installed in, normally, /usr/share/bibledit. These files start with "keyterms" and have the "txt" extension. So looking for files like "keyterms*txt" will give them.

2. There is the OTKEY.DB file. A file with that name comes with the bibledit distribution.

3. There is the KTREF.DB file. A file with that name comes with the bibledit distribution.

4. There is the file from the Key Terms in Biblical Hebrew Project. The file named KTBH-U.txt shows the layout.

The keyterms will be imported into a collection. This should be a new collection, one that does not yet exist.

If you have messed up the keyterms by importing garbage, the collection that was imported can be deleted again.

Any keyterms that have been added become available after Bibledit has been restarted.
