while trying zoteroquicklook.xpi from https://github.com/mronkko/ZoteroQuickLook
i am using Standalone 3.0b2.1
any suggestions?
thanks!
are we running same version of Standalone?
Here is a direct download link to the latest installer file
https://github.com/mronkko/ZoteroQuickLook/blob/master/zoteroquicklook.xpi?raw=true
Installing from you link on my XP (at work) and I now get a little further...
Instead of a modal dialog informing me
"Add-on installation failed. The add-on "%S" could not be installed. it may be incompatible with this version of Zotero Standalone'"
It only says "The add-on "ZoteroQuickLook" could not be installed. it may be incompatible with this version of Zotero Standalone"
and then displays it among the list of Extensions in the Add-On manager, however with error message next to it (this is new).
Getting closer?
What else can I tell you?
Thanks,
Malcolm

If it does not work, the open it in notepad (It is not compressed, so you should be able to do that) and toward the end of the file there should be a part that looks like this
<!-- Support for Zotero Standalone -->
<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>zotero@chnm.gmu.edu</em:id>
<em:minVersion>3.0b1</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>3.*</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>
If the version numbers are the same as in what I posted above, it should work. If it does not, then I really have no idea why.
Anyone else have success/failure installing this besides you and me?

There are no bugs that I would be aware of and would be able to reproduce on my computer. However, I have only tested it on Mac.
https://github.com/mronkko/ZoteroQuickLook/blob/master/zoteroquicklook.xpi?raw=true
and the current 3.0 version of Standalone under Ubuntu.
-compatibility with Zotero 3 and Standalone
-QuickLook from citations in Word, Mac only. (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVe4fKY_Fe4)
with another way the error msg is: "ZQL n'a pu être installé car FF ne peut modifier le fichier nécessaire"
It will be some time before I can take a look at this because I do not have a Windows computer and my virtual machine that was running Windows requires a reinstallation before it can be used (It does not boot for some reason). The problem is that I do not have an installation media, but need to have our computer support to do the installation and have not had time for that.

After I get some confirmation that this does solve the Windows problems, I will publish this to Mozilla Extensions directory.
Anyway: lot of thanks for your ZQL creation & managing! ;)!
Thanks for testing.
When I last tested with Windows 7, I had no problems using the plugin.
Error message: Zotero QuickLook cannot be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file.
I am running Win7 Ultimate, 32-bit and Firefox 12.0

thanks for this very useful plugin.
I'm having a problem with it though: while it works fine in Zotero/FF, it does not seem to work in Standalone.
I'm on a Mac.
