After upgrading to 2.0 rc 2 "chain" icon missing...why?

margole

I finally did upgrade to use the word plug in. But, alas, now I do miss the (for me) most important icon: that chain like thing to simply add a web page. Only work-around "new entry". Is this what it should be with the new version? Or have I rather missed something?
Any insight much appreciated

P.S. still running ff 3.5.7 for compatibilty reasons...

did you upgrade from 1.0?
There are some changes to the way things work, yes. What exactly are you trying to do?
If you want to attach a snapshot of a webpage to an existing item, right-click on the item --> Add attachment --> Snapshot of current page.
If you want to create a new item with the webpage attached, use the "Create New Item from Current Page" button between the green plus and the magic wand.

This was intentional and happened early in the 2.0 beta:

(and various other forum posts)

Thanks for Your quick response.
Yes, I did upgrade from 1.0. Being a journalist, I have, mostly, used zotero for internet researches, putting web sites down in collections according to topics etc., using that link (chain-link) icon, now gone missing. If this is one of the things new with the upgrade version, I guess I have to live with it, haven't I?

yes, I guess ;-).
Depending on which functionalities of Zotero you use, you can always consider if the ScrapBook add on isn't closer to what you need.
Otherwise, try out working with website-items created using the "Create new Item..." button - they should give you essentially the same (and more) functionality.
