## Q: If I double click a BibTeX file in the file browser, JabRef always opens a new window. Can JabRef open the libraries in the same window just in a different tab?

A: In **File → PreferencesNetwork**, in the “Remote operation” section, put a checkmark to “Listen for remote operation on port”. This option allows new instances of JabRef to detect the instance already running, and pass files to that instead of opening a new window. (Default option since [JabRef 3.0](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#30---2015-11-29)).
A: In **File → PreferenceSingle Instance**, ensure that "Enforce single JabRef Instance (and allow remtoe operations) using port [6050]" is checked. Note that 6050 is the default port and can be changed if desired.

## Q: I have a DOI/ISBN/ePrint/etc. Is it possible to create an entry directly out of this identifier?
