Also, I'm having trouble getting the plugin to work on .docx files. I am using the following steps:
1. Set Export Quick Copy Item Format to Scannable Cite. 2. Drag and drop scannable cite citations into footnotes (in Scrivener) 3. Export Scrivener file to .docx. 4. Use plugin to convert "Markers → Zotero citations". 5. View produced document and "Refresh" to sync it back to Zotero.
I am actually more accustomed to exporting it to .odt, converting the .odt file, syncing in LibreOffice, using the "Switch to a Different Word Processor" tool, then saving the .odt as a .docx and syncing again back to Zotero. This process still works. However, when I try to use the plug to convert markers on a .docx file I've exported from Scrivener nothing happens to the markers.
(For testing purposes, I tried saving the original .docx from Scrivener as a .odt, then running conversion on that .odt with the plugin. That converted the markers to citations as expected. So to my understanding this does seem to be an error with the .docx conversion process and not, say, the Scrivener export process.)
Could you email me a . docx file produced by Scrivener? I'm assuming that's the problem. Also, try opening and saving the docx in Libre and see if it scans then
@jkuo11 -- please update the plugin to version 3.1.0 (I've also fixed updates now, so using check updates in plugins should suffice) and dark mode should work properly and docx scan should work for items in footnotes (the docx format saves footnotes to a different file in the .docx file bundle and the scan wasn't even looking in there).
I can confirm that automatic updating, dark mode, and .docx scan in footnotes are all working! I really appreciate all the work you've done here — had been clinging on to Zotero 6 for the old plugin and happy to finally upgrade.
