Upgrade StorageMetadata Retrieval on MAC Yosemite
Hello et al.,
I have been using Zotero for just over 2 years on a PC platform (Windows XP and Windows 7) and most of the time Zotero worked great.
Now I have a Mac running OX 10.10 Yosemite, I transferred the database over and can read all my existing files and metadata content just as it was in windows, but now when I add a new PDF to Zotero there is no "right click" to get to the "retrieve metadata". How do I get to that option, as the help file was not that helpful to explain that part.
Thanks for your help.

That was fast.
I am new to the MAC world and I would like to confirm that your advice works great. I configured the mouse to have a second select button, now I can use Zotero with no problem, just like I did in Windows.
This fix was much easier then the multi-PC-dropbox sync of the standalone version I tried (Not advised at all - had to extract all the PDFs from the different PCs as the DB index was corrupted). However the USB database worked great between many PCs, but a bit slower. Zotero could make a data port option for people getting other machines.
has two options - one very simple, one still pretty simple.
