Not a big deal IMHO.
It's this inconvenience that I'm trying to get rid off. I want to open my current chapter without even thinking of the master file. > I don't really have different biblio in different masters, I usually use > a shared child document that contains everything biblio related.

What we could do later is to add support for different master files, where you can switch your master, and where maybe different masters provide different branches. Then you can even work with different biblio info. Jürgen
