Save multiple items to Zotero on ACS search results

rkropp · December 8, 2012

When I try to save multiple search results from ACS the normal dialog box allowing selection of desired records opens and displays correctly. When OK is clicked it imports only the final selection multiple times, equal to the total number of items selected.

I.e. when I select 10 items from a list of 100 it results in the creation of 10 copies of the bottom most selection, and no records for any of the other selections.

The same actions result in correct behavior when tested on SciVerse.

I am using firefox 17.0.1 and Zotero 3.0.11. My requests are rerouted using my University's library proxy.

I can confirm this. We're working on a fix.

The translator fix is now up courtesy of Aurimas. Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences.

Any problems let us know.

I am incredibly thankful for all the hard work that goes into making Zotero such an excellent solution. My productivity is much higher now that I don't have to worry about organizing pdfs, proxy redirection, citation management, or bibliography generation.

Hello,

I have a similar problem when saving multiple items on IEEE Xplore search results. In my case, when I tried to save 2 items, the first selection got saved twice. And the other item wasn't saved to Zotero library. When I selected 10 items, each of the top 5 selections got saved twice.

I am using Firefox 17.0.1 and Zotero 3.0.11. I tried the translator update on Zotero preferences menu but the problem persists. I am also using my university libary's proxy.

Thanks before.
