Recursive collection and timeline (feature request ?)

Gracile · November 11, 2009

I might be wrong but it seems impossible to display a timeline from a recursive collection. When you try to generate the timeline, you get a completely blank one. It would be a very nice feature, if it's not already possible.

(It's the same problem with reports but you can manually select all the items of the recursive collection (ctrl+a) and generate a report; however this trick gives no solution for timeline from a recursive collection)

Thanks!

I precise that I'm using zotero 1.0.10. Has anyone the same problem?

I don't want to bother: am I really alone with this issue?

recursiveCollections isn't a supported setting, but, since we may be adding it to the UI and, as you note, there's no workaround for this, I've created a ticket.

Great! Thanks.

PS: "It's not supported": do you mean that it's an hidden setting - and therefore unofficial - ?

Yes.

I've found a workaround: I've created a saved search which include all my collections... and I can generate a timeline from this saved search...

Thanks anyway
