Can Zotero count the pages of my library?
Specifically, I'm writing a bachelor project and I need 1750 pages of literature. Is there any way that zotero can tell me how many pages of literature are in a given folder, assuming, of course, that the "pages" field is filled out correctly? It doesn't look that way, but I'm hoping that maybe someone wrote a plug-in somewhere.

(Basically, this tells you how to start Zotero with the Error Console open.)
Once you have Zotero with the Error Console window open, open the collection in question. Then, in the Code line at the top of the console window, paste this in:
Components.classes["@zotero.org/Zotero;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsISupports).wrappedJSObject.getActiveZoteroPane().collectionsView.getSelectedCollection().getChildItems().reduce((x, y) => x + y.getField('numPages'), 0)
Press return or click Evaluate, and you should see the total pages for items in the current collection at the bottom of the console.
