Scan RTF "Choose" does not open a directory dialogue
Hi, Love Zotero and have used it for years. I run on a Mac using 10.8 (not allowed to upgrade by company). Have used Scan RTF hundreds of times running the stand-alone version. Today, when I went to scan a file, the Introduction page comes up, but "Choose File" does not respond, nor does the text field. I am at/near my server limit of 300 Mb. Is this a problem with my account needing more space (i.e., I need to pay), or is it a problem with Amazon's web services still being down. If a space problem, how can I find the biggest files to purge from account to get me below 300 Mb? If, instead, I choose a paying route for Zotero, will that fix the problem?
Thank you, Mark
Thank you, Mark
Zotero 4.0.29.15.
Add-ons:
RTF/ODF Scan for Zotero 1.0.22
Zotero Better Bib(La)Tex 1.6.95
Zotero LibreOffice Integration 3.5.12...
Zotero Word for Mac Integration 3.5.14...
sorry, auto-updating was broken for that version because we migrated the add-ons location.
mac os sierra 10.12.3
firefox (latest) and
having installed RTF/ODF Scan for Zotero 1.0.33
It now allows me to select an rtf file but it times out at the "Scanning for Citations" step.
what am i missing?

a) disable the ODF scan add-on
b) Try this in a very simple document with just one or two such citations.
I've been trying to work out how to get this style:
Smith {2009}
to work with scrivener and zotero rtf scan.
When I drag from zotero to scrivener I get this:
{Smith, "Title", 2009}
and when I run zotero rtf scan, all is as expected:
(Smith, 2009)
However, if I want the format "Smith (2009) recommended..."
I can't seem to do it.
Any clues?
Many thanks :)
and you're saying Smith {2009} doesn't work?
here is one example of a footnote as it appears in the Scrivener file:

What am I doing wrong?
RTF scan is built-in Zotero functionality and just generally less reliable
From the Zotero Client
“To generate citation markers in Zotero for Firefox or Zotero Standalone, first set the Default Output Format for Quick Copy to Scannable Cite in the Export tab of the Zotero Preferences. You can now insert citation markers into your document in two easy ways:
Drag items from your Zotero library and drop them onto your document
Select items and press Ctrl+Alt+C (Cmd+Shift+C on macOS) to copy the citation markers to your clipboard and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V) to paste them into your document”.
In Zotero version 5 (current) there is no option to Export to a Default Format “Scannable Cite”. I see CSL JSON and other formats. Do any of these export formats work with the LO integration add on? That is, if I output to CSL JSON, copy and paste that into Scrivener file, then export to ODT, open in LO, then finally export that to DOCX to use in Word (which is a word processor I am more familiar with), will the cites be "active" Zotero cites? Any tip on how to use your add-on with Scrivener would be a lifesaver.
