Upgrade StorageA Few Quirky things on MacOs
Running: MacOS M3 128 GB RAM, 8 Tb Storage MacOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (a beast - the reason I got this is partly to handle the large no. of references in my word document)
Zotero: 7.0.15
Ms Word for Mac: 16.95.4 (Microsoft 365 Subscription)
*** Inserting a Bibliography ***
There is no user feedback as to what is going on - just a spike in CPU usage from 0.1 % to 94% in Word and an occasional blip from Zotero - it would be nice to have some sort of user indication that it is actually working, I've waited minutes for my 400+ references to insert not knowing if this time it worked or not, whether I clicked the button or not.
It does take time to process. I get that. It would be helpful to have some indicator of how progress is going.
*** Custom Citation Style ***
It never remembers my citation, whenever I restart etc. whether in the document or Zotero itself, my customized format never stays and I always have to manually add it in after restarting Word or Zotero.
*** Inserting a Citation ***
This is less of a problem, but often when I first load, it takes a long time, and there is no user feedback and it just sits there. I never know if it's working or not.
*** Feature ***
In a Book, often different types of items are listed separately
For example, Manuscripts are listed separately as primary sources.
This could be a useful feature if there could be some control over how the bibliography is grouped and is presented.
