Actually this description is not accurate. It rather does the following: - store a list of all bibtex files (including path) in the buffer. That list is only updated if necessary (if a file is added or removed). - insetcite (getNatbibLabel) fetches that list and compares its stored timestamps with the actual ones. - if they differ (or if the list contains a new file), the bibfiles get scanned again. The caching of the bibfiles in the buffer is necessary, because it is very expensive to look for these files on any label generation process (as it is now). Jürgen
