Snapshots

Hi

I want to save URL's not snapshots

Snapshots on my local drive don't load images

You can turn off the snapshot when saving a webpage in the general tab of the Zotero preferences. Does that answer your question?

Hi - yes that seems to have fixed it.

Thanks

Sorry no it hasn't

When the URL does not have an icon , I right click the page and it saves to my local Zotero, however it is a local copy on localhost - I want it to save the actual URL so I can return to the original page

adamsmith

which browser? IIRC, for Safari and Chrome that preference may not work (though note that you still get the URL of the page in Zotero's URL field, and you can get to the page by clicking on the "URL" letters. )

Hi

I am using Chrome, disabling snapshot seems to work Ok for sites that display and icon.

However, sites that don't display an icon and are saved using right click only seem to save a local copy

adamsmith

you saw my note about the URL field above?

As adamsmith explains, if you click on the Zotero item in the center pane, you will see the URL in the URL field in the right-hand pane. You can click the "URL" label to open it.

Additionally, if you have a file, Snapshot, or link attachment on the item, you can click on it in the center pane, which will display its title, file path, and the URL it was imported from in the right-hand pane.

Yes, I think I have managed to figure it out now

Thanks

We just figured out that Snapshots were broken in the recent version of Zotero, which is why the images were not loading. This should be fixed in Zotero 4.0.26.1, which is available now for Firefox. A Standalone release with the fix is coming soon.

Unfortunately, you will have to re-save any Snapshots that were made since Zotero 4.0.26 was released (February 11th).

Standalone update is now out as well.
