Cue-Cat

In 2.0b7.4, when I try to use a cue-cat to enter an ISBN via the "Add Item by Identifier" button, I just get the garbled, untranslated output of the cuecat ( such as .C3nZC3nZC3nXCNnXChjYCxnX.cGen.ENr7C3b0DNrZChDZEG.), instead of the ISBN.
http://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library#add_item_by_identifier
implies that the cuecat is supported by Zotero. Is this the case? If so, how do I get it to work with Zotero?
  • Zotero certainly doesn't support such devices. The "Add Item by Identifier" window just has a text box. If you can get the scanner to function properly, you can use it there.
  • can we take out the bit about the barcode scanner in the documentation? That seems unnecessarily confusing-
  • Sure—I didn't put it there. It's presumably handy if it works, but people who own such scanners and have them working as standard character input devices (i.e., equivalent to a keyboard) probably know when to use them.
