This is a very old conversation, and perhaps has been superseded, but nothing else seemingly relevant turned up in my search, so here I am. @noksagt the zotero-dev conversation seems to be talking about translators (ie: adding items to our zotero D…

in Control which fields are exported to BibTeX Comment by drevicko February 6, 2023

Just a heads up that I'm seeing gerhard.bissels behaviour on MacOS 11.2 "Big Sur". I get a system popup asking for my password (I'm admin by the way), but it seems Zotero doesn't know to wait, and produces "Software update failed" after a few second…

in incorrect treatment of openreview.net import Comment by drevicko May 5, 2019

Ah, ok. My confusion. After my experiments, a actually switched to using acrobat for my annotations (which save in the file). fwiw skim CAN embed annotations, but it's fiddly and not so good as part of a workflow. Hmm.. fwiwf.. Not sure how connecte…

in Storage via dropbox/etc? Comment by drevicko January 12, 2018

@bwiernik Are you sure? Does Zotero watch locally stored files and sync them whenever they are changed? I once did some experiments, and as I recall, it didn't happen. Certainly not for annotations from Skim, which reside in a text file next to the …

in Storage via dropbox/etc? Comment by drevicko January 11, 2018

Awesome, that's exactly what I was after. Thanks! Another great advantage to this is that annotations on attached pdf's are synced also (: I had been looking at options to access dropbox via webdav (there's "DropDav" at $5/month, "CloudHQ" at €118/…

in Storage via dropbox/etc? Comment by drevicko January 10, 2018

When it comes to race conditions, I think dropbox isn't going to be bug-free without significant extra effort (eg: small hidden lock files). But if you're not actually interacting with zotero on two computers simultaneosly, it seems quite likely tha…

in Storage via dropbox/etc? Comment by drevicko January 10, 2018

Is it possible to have Zotero's local cache of attachments stored in dropbox? Would there be problems if Zotero is then running on several computers using the same dropbox folder? (they woulnd't be used simultaneously, but may be running simultaneou…

in Storage via dropbox/etc? Comment by drevicko January 10, 2018

@georges You may not have noticed, but adamsmiths first answer (click the zotero button in the toolbar, which becomes a "Save to Zotero" button if you're viewing a pdf) is an effective equivalent to the "Save to Zotero" option that used to be in sav…

in Save to option in firefox file save dialog Comment by drevicko January 10, 2018

Cool! Thanks Adam - that fixed things for me. It's been remarkably hard to find that solution, probably because I've been looking in the wrong places! I'm tempted to put it up on tex.stackexchange...

in Bibtex export for dotted capital I Comment by drevicko May 3, 2015

Thanks Dan - that's what's going on. Unfortunately, I'm accessing zotero via latexing (a sublime text plugin). It seems it's use of the zotero API follows the same pattern (?). In any case, I don't have control over the encoding latexing requests fr…

Zotero 4.0.26.4 no, that character also appears in exported bibtex: author = {İLü, Linyuan and Zhou, Tao}, I turned on debug during an export of that item if it's any use: Debug ID is D8556549 I'm on MacOsx 10.8.5 (ie: not Yos…

in Bibtex export for dotted capital I Comment by drevicko May 2, 2015

Is that supposed to happen with an umlauted u: ü I'm finding that it exports without change (and is subsequently ignored by Latex).

in Bibtex export for dotted capital I Comment by drevicko May 2, 2015

Excellent! I'd say the problem is solved! (: Makes sense when multiple zotero tabs are open. I just checked, and zotero won't open a second tab in the same window. I guess the confusion is from zotero open in only one place - a naive user…

in Saved items got to "My LIbrary" instead of open folder Comment by drevicko February 4, 2014

It's been a busy time, and I haven't had a chance to get to this. I noticed just now that on my mac (running zotero in firefox), things go into the open folder ONLY when the zotero tab is in the same window as the tab with the item(s) I'm addin…

Another trace with Ubuntu extensions (and everything else) disabled: D175974201 I used a different translator: http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/1433/ Dan: "Saving to My Library" appears in the little notification pop-up in the bottom right of …

ok, here it its: D1864937808 I noticed that selecting the collection logged 94 lines, then clicking the folder icon in the address bar logged 3 (already it said "my Library")
