Hi,

I came across an apparent bug in EndNote Mac/EndLink 2.0 and/or the
GEOREF (SP) filter.

I imported via EndLink & the Georef (SP) filter records downloaded from
GEOREF. I didn't like having semicolons in the Keywords field, so I
opened the filter (File>EndLink Filter>Open GEOREF (SP)) and chose the
Options>Field Editing... command. I chose Keywords from the Edit Field
pop-down menu, typed ; in the "Enter text to be omitted box" and clicked
the Add button; then I saved and closed the filter.

But when I imported the same file with the modified filter, every record
was imported as "Thesis" (with the SO: field imported unchanged in the
Notes field)!

I opened the filter again and removed the modification I had made, but it
didn't make any difference: everything was imported as "Thesis"
nevertheless. So it looks like the bug is related to the act of modifying
the filter, and not to the modification itself.

Has anybody come across this problem? Any suggestions? (Of course, the
semicolon can be removed with the References>Change Text... command, but
the point is, why can't the filter be modified.)

Cheers, Florin
