Focus/Highlight Newly Imported Entry After Drag and Drop

Features
1

When I drag and drop a PDF into a large JabRef library, it’s difficult to find where the new entry has been added. It would be very helpful if JabRef automatically highlighted or scrolled to the newly created entry.

This is similar to how operating systems like Windows will highlight a file that has been moved or created in a folder. This feature would significantly improve the user experience, especially for those of us with large libraries. Thank you!

As new user you aren’t allowed to create polls so I created one.

I think this feature goes a bit into the direction of the Imported Entries Group

  • I would like to have this featurer as well
  • I don’t care

This might actually be better than an Imported Entries group, but who knows. Maybe we should make this a preference (if technically possible, as I can imagine that it depends on the capabilities of our GUI framework JavaFX).
