Enabling or Disabling the Citavi icon

Sometimes you may not want the Citavi icon to be displayed, for example, if you're making a screenshot for a presentation or if you're editing the source code of a website. You can disable the ISBN and DOI detection temporarily or permanently.

If the Citavi icon continously appears on a page where it is not wanted, you can create a Blacklist to prevent the Citavi icon from appearing on this page. Create a text file and save it with the name blacklist.txt. Then enter each domain in the file:

  • In Windows 8, 7 or Vista, save the file here:
    %ProgramData%\Swiss Academic Software\Citavi Picker\Blacklist.txt

Each domain should appear on a separate line. For example:

http://www.uni-muenchen.de/cms/

muenchen.de

cms

In the first example, the Picker would not appear on any page that appeared under www.uni-muenschen.de/cms/.

In the second example, all pages would be excluded that had the characters muenchen.de in the URL.

In the third example all websites with the letters cms in the URL would be excluded.
