Update

This command is to update the information of the documents.

Some examples of the usage are given below

Examples

• Update a document automatically and interactively (searching by doi number in crossref, or in other sources…)

  papis update --auto -i "author : dyson"
  

• Update your library from a bib(la)tex file where many entries are listed. papis will try to look for documents in your library that match these entries and will ask you entry per entry to update it (of course this is done if you use the -i flag for interactively doing it). In the example libraryfile.bib is a file containing many entries.

  papis update --from bibtex libraryfile.bib -i
  

• Tag all einstein papers with the tag classics

  papis update --all --set tags classics einstein

papis update --all --set tags '{doc[tags]} physics' einstein
