Installation of RTF/ODF-Scan add-on unsuccessful
Hi,
I followed the download and installation instructions found in zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan for Zotero Standalone. The Add-ons Manager at Zotero>Tools>Add-ons showed "RTF/ODF Scan for Zotero downloaded."
However, the "RTF Scan" option did not change to "RFT/ODF Scan." I went to Zotero>Tools>Adds-ons again, but the Add-ons Manager no longer shows "RTF/ODF Scan for Zotero downloaded"
---
What's the solution to this issue?

I also followed the download and installation instructions for Zotero for Firefox.
The following message appeared after I clicked zotero-odf-scan-v1.0.33-fx.xpi:
"github.com. Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer."
Then this message appeared after I clicked "Allow:"
"The add-on could not be downloaded because of a connection failure."
This problem was not solved even after I went to Firefox>Security and added https://www.github.com as a site allowed to install add-ons.

However, this other issue remains unsolved:
I followed the download and installation instructions found in zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan for Zotero Standalone. The Add-ons Manager at Zotero>Tools>Add-ons showed "RTF/ODF Scan for Zotero downloaded."

What's your advice?
The download and installation of the beta version was successful.
After Zotero>Tools>RTF Scan, I see File Types: RTF, ODF (to citations), ODF (to markers).
---
Where do I find the instructions to add citations and bibliography? I'm using Scrivener 2.8.1.2.
Instructions are here: https://zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan/
Sorry to trouble you again.
After I select Zotero>Preferences>Export tab, the option "Scannable Cite" is not available for selection under "Default Output Format."

What's your advice?
zotero 5.0.6, macOS 10.12.6,
BIG Thanks for your post.
I'll try your approach.
Zotero 5.07 standalone, ODF scan plugin v1.0.34 beta. OpenOffice plugin is active and listed in add-ons tab. RTF tab shows "RTF", "ODF (to citations)", and "ODF (to markers)" as selections.
RTF/ODF Plug-in is listed under the add-ons tab, but RTF/ODF is NOT available to select as default format in the Export tab.
I have reinstalled and restarted Zotero and the plug-ins, and have restarted the computer several times. No luck.
Can I try haliaetus13 workaround of manually copying Scannable Cite.js file into the correct Zotero subfolder? If so, which folder for windows?
Otherwise, open Zotero Preferences. In the Advanced tab, click "Files and Folders", then "Show Data Directory". Then open the "translators" folder.
Am using zotero on a windows 10 64bit machine, with the latest version of zotero installed.
