What it does:
- The BibTeX key format can be customized via GUI (the actual code comes
from the patch at
http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev/msg/95ff39b7c05968a0)
- There's an option to override the default key adding a tag in the
format 'key=BibTeX_key' to an item. I know, this is ugly -- using notes
may be a better idea, but I hope neither will be needed in a future
version of Zotero.
- "Save" button (to avoid the need to re-export a lot of times)
- Finally, a "push to LyX" button.
Known problems:
- The code is a mess. I patched and modified the BibTeX translator and
I'm using it outside the Translate object. Things shouldn't be done this
way, but with my limited experience I could find no other way to do some
of the stuff above. Hopefully a future Zotero release will have both key
customization and a key field, so that all this won't be needed anymore
and I could use Zotero.Translate instead.
- Obviously, keys generated from the extension (those that get pushed to
Lyx) are not compatible with those generated by Zotero's standard export
function.
- When Firefox is restarted, the BibTeX files where data was being
stored are forgotten, and must be set again.
I'd like to publish the extension somewhere, but I have no website of my
own and sourceforge/mozdev seem overkill for such a tiny project,
considered that I don't think I'll have much time to work on it anymore.
Do you have suggestions about this?

Thanks Chun-Chung Chen.Couldn't there be an if-check for version so users don't have to change javascript on their own?
