It seems that I can only set one directory in helm-bibtex-notes-path and not a list as in the previous case. Could this feature be added?

Suppose someone uses the following directory layout:\r\n\r\n```\r\n  /.../my_articles_pdfs/\r\n  /.../my_articles_notes/\r\n  /.../other_articles_pdfs/\r\n  /.../other_articles_notes/\r\n```\r\n\r\nWith\r\n\r\n```\r\n(setq helm-bibtex-library-path '(\"/.../my_articles_pdfs/\" \"/.../other_articles_pdfs/\")\r\n(setq helm-bibtex-notes-path '(\"/.../my_articles_notes/\" \"/.../other_articles_notes/\")\r\n```\r\n\r\nNotes would then always land in the first directory in `helm-bibtex-notes-path`, i.e. `my_articles_notes`.\r\n\r\nThe problem is that the current configuration already gives people a lot of flexibility and it's hard to anticipate how people are going to use these degrees of freedom.  The fact that PDFs can also be specified in the `file` field and that people can even specify several PDFs for an entry makes things even more complex. \r\n\r\n"}}
