I don't think that I've ever been able to drag items to the Zotero trash. I just tried with the standalone beta 5. Dragging with key-combinations also doesn't move items to the trash. When I want to remove an item I right click and highlight "Mov…

This comment has nothing to do with the technical aspects of programming this feature but it may help illuminate why someone might want a count of used citations. @bwiernik. What I, personally, have encountered through the years with demands on my …

Yes, the metadata has always been visible on the SAE webpage and _some_ metadata is embedded. The flawed way that SAE moves their information from their database to render the webpages that you see when you visit the website is inconsistent and me…

Until the SAE repairs their website you can use the free TRID database by the U. S. Transportation Research Board. The default Zotero translator generally does a good job of importing the metadata. https://trid.trb.org You will need to do a bit of…

Windows has built-in automated back-up sofftware that is somewhat better than satisfactory. It meets my needs. These things need no attention after a quick and easy setup. All that you require is an external back-up drive. For about US$100 you can b…

I have success with the bookmarklet in my iPad iOS 10 for many sites. Most of the sites that fail are related to publishers feeding a special for-tablet web page. Some publishers will obey the "request desktop site" control. For those that provide t…

In the center panel you can select all or parts of a collection's items to export, etc.

Please describe what you mean by, "export". For what purpose? Depending what result you need, there are several ways to accomplish this sort of thing. Do you need to: share the collection with another Zotero user? share it with a user of a differ…

Let me raise adamsmith's suggestion to a plea. Please do write to them but they don't make it particularly easy to do so. http://help.sciencedirect.com/ Almost a year ago, I sent an email to SD about this and other metadata quirks. They didn't re…

I can confirm that the drop-down menu with FF 5 beta r67 works as it should. I have no problems with the right-click drop-down menu. I'm not sure when that began to work normally because of the way I was using the R-click as I commented above. Also,…

In a multidisciplinary field it is common to have several authors with identical names. The disambiguation problem in my SafetyLit database is monumental. Then there is the problem of authors who publish with initials only, name variants, etc. How i…

Could images / graphics in notes be your problem? If I need a graphic in a note, I save it apart from Zotero to Dropbox and put a link to it as a public share in my Zotero note. Not an ideal but a workaround that does the job.

I am still having the problem with the FF version. [edit: but I hadn't been using the FF version regularly.] I've not had the problem when using the 5 standalone. (At least I don't think so. I learned to get around the problem by holding down the ri…

Check unfiled items collection.

does someone remember... This? https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/124386#Comment_124386 edit The thread is among the ones I've bookmarked as something good for a future version. I was thinking about a system where with custom styles, the…

Yes. This is fixed for me when using SA 5 beta r60 Thanks!

Please describe your situation in greater detail. Are you having problems opening Zotero? Entering items into Zotero? Importing articles from a database online? Adding citations to your document? I recognize that you have a crisis but please take ca…

I suspect that @compunk's comment was about line spacing or leading and not column width. I noticed this but favorably.

Is there any information to share concerning ORCID IDs and Zotero. I am (in my own project) beginning to find ORCID identifiers quite useful in author name disambiguation as is the case with VIAF IDs. ORCID IDs are particularly useful with translite…

Is there a style guide that is online to use as a reference? Can you say how this style differs from Elizabeth Shown Mills' "Evidence Explained" style? I believe that EE is the genealogy gold standard -- at least in North America. Unless someone …

@adamsmith XML export is the way to go when importing records in bulk. On the average day I download 350+ PubMed records via their xml file option. It works flawlessly. I didn't understand that vsamarth was downloading scores of records at a time. H…

As adamsmith says, you should use the Zotero button in your browser to import PubMed records. One click is all it takes. Or, you can use the Zotero folder icon to import several PubMed records. Downloading nbib files is not only inconvenient, less c…

I treat MSDS sheets as reports and it works well in Vancouver style but I'm not using (or familiar with) ACS citation style.

'many such locators are not stable...' I know that locators in the last few generations of Kindle -- even the iPad app version -- are indeed stable across screen sizes. Nook advertises that its locators are now stable and that with a recent softwar…

What adamsmith said is correct and this is very highly unlikely to be related to Zotero. It is something to do with your document. If footnote 27 was at the end of the paragraph, even though you deleted the paragraph text you may not have deleted t…

What is the exact URL? You may use the French language. There are folks participating here who are fluent in French.

I did not mean to disagree with adamsmith concerning the citation of secondary sources and their absence in the bibliography. I fully agree. However, I want to stress that, as adamsmith suggests that simply mentioning McClellan and a year without th…

I realize that it is commonly done but I believe that a person should never cite what someone else says an author says. I recommend going to the original source and citing that (but actually read the original). In your case how do you know that Mull…

What style?
