Hi, Rainer:

Xapers does currently do something similar to this.  The following takes
the first bibtex entry from bibtex.bib and creates a new Xapers
document:

  xapers add --source=bibtex.bib

However, I suspect you're looking for a way to import a full bibtex
database with multiple entries, and create a new Xapers document for
each.  This shouldn't be difficult to implement.  Particularly if there
is a standard bibtex field for specifying associated file paths.
Patrick mentioned that jabref uses something, so maybe I can start with
that.

It does look like there might be a need.  I'll look into putting
something together.

In the mean time I'm hanging out on #xapers on irc.freenode.net.

jamie.
