Upgrade StorageRTF Scan problem: mapped citations showing errors
Some of my mapped citations are listed on the left column of Standalone as something like this:
"\hich\af2\dbch\af31505\loch\f0 Maienschein, 2005"
What does this mean? How can I fix it?
Once I figure this out, I can decide if I want to tackle the same author-same year problem that seems to be frequent...

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Or I get something like this:
{Pauly, 1987; Haraway, 1989; Kay, 1993; Paul, 1995; Clarke, 1998; Curry, 2012}
becomes (note the error in the second line)
Ibid.; Donna Haraway, Primate Visions: Gender, Race, and Nature in the World of Modern Science (New York: Routledge, 1989).Kay, 1993Diane B. Paul, Controlling Human Heredity: 1865 to the Present, The Control of Nature (Atlantic Highlands, N. J.: Humanities Press International, 1995); Adele E. Clarke, Disciplining Reproduction: Modernity, American Life Sciences, and “the Problems of Sex” (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1998); Helen Anne Curry, “Accelerating Evolution, Engineering Life: American Agriculture and Technologies of Genetic Modification, 1925-1960” (Yale, 2012).

I then retyped the whole entry and it formatted them all correctly except for the Pauly, 1987...
In all honesty, RTF scan is hardly maintained. Given its limitations, I tend to recommend people use a more robust solution like ODF scan or MMD citations. That said, at least in the basic form you're using it it should certainly work.
I am working with an existing document and having to go through and add the zu: identifiers for every entry sounds time-consuming (and inelegant at that: the {author, year, page number} system keeps everything clean, one of the reasons I like it so much). It also limits compatibility with Endnote should I wish to return to that program after my trial with Zotero.
My version of Endnote is experiencing the disambiguation problem that many seem to run across... They have fixed it, but I have to throw down $90 to do so, which is too bad.
*sigh*
That you mentioned it could be something with the RTF itself gave me an idea: I downloaded LibreOffice, opened the unscanned .rtf and saved it under a new name (but still .rtf), scanned that one, and it worked! So I guess the problem must be in how Scrivener for Windows exports to rtf?
Some more testing with different RTF outputs would probably be good, though I'm also not sure how good Scrivener's RTF is. Their ODF has significant problems.
If I wish to cite multiple sets of pages, e.g.:
{Bellon, 2009, 45 60 75}
How do I get RTF Scan to read those three numbers as "45, 60, 75"? (Would that even be the proper format?) Or is it something I change in the .csl file?
Thank you for the help and timely responses!
