Deleting library entries in stand-alone occurs without a warning

stevejoslyn · November 29, 2012

My colleague uses the stand-alone latest version (OS X latest)but whenever she hits delete on an entry, it quickly removes the entry without a warning. When I delete entries on my firefox plug-in version it asks me if I am sure I wish to remove the entry. Is this a normal feature of the stand-alone version, or should there be this fail safe in place. Can it be toggled on or off? If so I couldn't find the toggle.

Thanks in advance.

Deleting items should give a prompt in both Zotero for Firefox and Zotero Standalone. But your colleague might have been removing the entry from a collection instead, which doesn't give a prompt. See http://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags#removing_items_from_a_collection

The delete function is not working on my Standalone version of Zotero - I have re-installed it and it is still not accessible. Suggestions?

QunSelika: Start a new thread, and explain what you mean by "not working".

This is an old thread and no longer accurate, so I'm closing it.
