problem with import of urls from bibtex
I just discovered zotero and its really good. I just hit a problem however with importing bibtex databases made using other apps / web systems like Jabref, Connotea etc. This involves articles from NASA ADS (thats all I have tried so far...). Take for example the reference Antonucci 1984, which has URL
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1984ApJ...278..499A
this exports correctly, but when imported from a .bib file I get
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1984ApJ⋯278..499A
Then the nice "view" button in the right hand pane doesn't work - this is very annoying, as its a key feature for browsing one's library. This problem seems to hit a lot of ADS URLs but not all - haven't tried to look for the pattern yet.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
And, of course, in references you've already imported, you can just replace the horizontal ellipses with three periods.
I would really like to be able to edit the bibtex citekey, but I see that discussion is active elsewhere....
