Export Bibliography sorted by subcollections

Hi,

I'm looking for some hints on how to export or generate
an ordered bibliography from a collection and its subcollections.
The tricky thing that i'm trying to find out is if there is a
possibility of the export being sorted by subcollections without
doing a separate export for every single subcategory.

Thanks for your help and have a great weekend,
Dennis

    no there isn't, sorry.
  • Good morning,

    thanks for the quick reply. That's
    a pitty. Can you think of any workarounds?
    Simply exporting the name of the subcollection that a paper
    is in might be such an idea if possible. Or automated tagging
    with the subcollection's name and then including
    tags in the export.

    Regards,
    Dennis
  • There is no workaround - except for exporting individual bibliographies - that I'm aware of. Maybe if you provide a more specific use scenario someone will have an idea.

    The name of a subcollection can not be easily exported to a bibliography, nor can tags.
  • Hi Dennis

    I read your wish and first moment I thought that the solution already exists. I am developing the zotero autoexport addon and by suggestion I added some months ago the option to split by collection. Nowadays I checked the code and is not a problem to implement subcollections also. However I need your help to understand what you need:
    - option to export only the deepest collections
    - option to skip empty subcollections
    - option to setup maximum deepness because you might nest very deep
    - option for name convention or the name of subcollection

    If you contact me here or via my homepage I can send you a prerelease for testing!
    Thanks for your help
