BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ biblatex | avoid repeated author names in footnotes

[jossojjos]

Dear (bib)latex users,

I'd greatly appreciate any help with this issue.
As I'm citing a number of books/chapters of the same author, I'd like to avoid repetition of the author name when it occurs in subsequent citations.
This should, I thought, be done using the idemtracker in biblatex. However, I can't get it to work.

Here's my code :

example.tex

and this is what I get :

example.pdf

result

(153.18 KiB) Downloaded 338 times

Thus, I'd like to see "Mon Auteur" only once, in the second footnote, and "idem" or something in the following footnotes.

Additionnally, I don't know if there is a way to prevent citing twice the full record if a chapter is from the same book (change "Essais et conférences, Gallimard 1958" in the fourth foornote to "Essais et conférences, op.cit." or something).

Thanks a lot in advance,
Jos
