Zotero 5: legacy addons+biblatex+go back
Good morning,
I have installed Zotero 5 on top of Zotero 4
1. I have extensions that now don't work anymore: Better BibLatex and ZotFile are the ones I care most. How can i make them work again?
2. Even if Better BibLatex does not work anymore, it got disabled and greyed out automatically in the add-ons screen, and I had removed it and it does not appear anymore in the add-ons screen, File->Export Library still has the Better BibLateX options, which after asking where to save the file returns an error
3. I went to an annotation, selected it, pressed ctrl+z to cut it and realized I made an error. Turned out Zotero does not have any "go back". So now I have completely lost that annotation. Is it possible there are no "go back" buttons?
Thanks

2) Known issue. You can remove them by using reset translators from the advanced tab of the Zotero preferences
3) within notes, ctrl+z should work to undo an action
3) Yes, you are right, it does if you press it immediately. But if you only SWITCH to another annotation, ctrl+z will not work on the previous one. Only if you use it immediately
1) I failed to install the beta version from the repository (I have put the files in the root directory as asked and renamed the zip into a xpi file, but Zotero does not install it). Maybe I will wait for the pre-compiled version
EDIT: I did not understand it should come active again
I upgraded to Z 5.0 without fully reading the consequences, I lost the use of Better Biblatex; I decided to return to Z 4._. I reinstalled Z 4._. I use Better Biblatex a lot, … Understatement,
I accomplished reverting to using a previous version of Z by re-installing version 4._, … then replaced “zotero.sqlite” in my Z data directory with “zotero.sqlite.[an-high-number, it might not be the highest, the highest might be an Z 5.0].bak”, and restarting Z standalone.
Z sync-ed from the Z server changes that I had made since I last used the older database “zotero.sqlite.[a-high-number, …].bak”, the sync worked!
