Additionally, I would like to suppress month and issue.

It appears what one says is "bumping". Yes, please. Love Zotero, use it hard, would appreciate effective user interface improvements for large libraries, on macOS.
-
Misunderstanding indeed. Thanks for the tip. Works fine.
-
An associated problem is that while Zotero is processing the meta-data from the new file, it discards my current status (what subcollection I'm in, my current search results). Please, stop trying so hard. Just link it to the entry I identified, with…

I just noticed a feature I hadn't seen before. On a Mac, pressing Alt with an entry highlighted in turn highlights each of the other collections it appears in. Not exactly what I was looking for, but useful in its own right. This kind of yellow high…

Thanks. Since my earlier comment, I have found that merging is generally superior.
-
Thanks - just what I needed to know.
-
I agree that a distinct behavior is desirable. Not knowing quite what you mean by "comes from the system", I don't know if it would be feasible, but I note that when I drag something to a place where it will be new, I get two indicators - the + sign…

I've successfully followed the instructions several times before. This is the first time I've encountered this situation: Zotero app is beta (5.0.87-beta.7+c9e90417e). It installs and works successfully. I can capture citations using Firefox and its…

A new wrinkle - having somehow lost the connector, I deleted Zotero starting at Safari Extensions, downloaded and installed the latest beta, which promises the connector is built in. After installation, browse to a suitable web page (PubMed search),…

Similarly. Following these instructions carefully today fixed again losing access to Zotero Connector. Thanks a lot. You guys are great.
-
Thanks for the tip about needing to right click on the page rather than the button. Today I updated, at Zotero's recommendation. After the update, I observed the useless Z button when I went to a source page. I rebooted. I logged into Firefox so I c…
-
Well now we've gone backwards. Per habit, when Zotero offered an update, I installed it. Now 'About Zotero' shows 5.0.84-beta.2+8170cf09d. Even in well-supported sites, like PubMed, no icon for access to Zotero appears at all. The preceding item sug…
-
Now I find that the button in Safari for the connector appears as a page with a turned down corner, if I search in PubMed, and it works appropriately. Sensing it likely that it is source page dependent, I next checked an article presented on Researc…
-
Trouble today. In Safari, the button for the connector, in the form of a Z, now is labeled (on hovering over it with mouse) simply "Your button". And, it does nothing. Moreover, I had to go to Firefox to make this report, as in Safari, though I'm sh…
-
Thank you. Installed without difficulty. Working well in early attempts.
-
This issue was fixed upon updating to 5.0.59, thanks.
-
Further observation indicates that where two instances of Move Item to Trash appear, the first duplicates, while the second works as intended. Thus, this appears to be simply a mislabeling of the first of these two entries in the pop-up menu that ap…
-
Most excellent. Works great, even with large sets of files. Thanks for the tip.
-
Okay, now I'm just getting copying - which is exactly what I don't want. Help?
-
This is an attractive idea. I just tried it on a Mac, using Command-Option while dropping. The pdf ended up being copied into my Zotero storage directory - just what I was seeking to avoid. I wanted the metadata in, but the file left where it was (i…
-
I find it kind of working on OSX 10.13.6 - however about half the time it copies in the source file instead of just a link to it. Can't figure out when it will do which yet.
-
Thanks for the helpful response. Actually, it seems to have mended itself overnight. I guess I just needed some patience, but it was not apparent that it was making progress. Anyway, all good now. I look forward to the new merge functionality.
-
Different problem with ResearchGate. Authors come in as first name - last name combination, rather than parsed as pieces. Result is that they appear in wrong place in alphabetic list under Creator. For example, U Ayala, U.I. (2015). Fully a…

found where to set e-mail, on-line only, under Account - all good now, thanks again
-
aurimas sorry for the mistaken identity followed your instructions, everything seems to have worked fine, thanks a lot One issue remaining (perhaps I should start another thread?) - account I've moved to (james.k.russell) has an e-mail a…

Adam, you directed me here in relation to a problem I reported (associated with problem ID 1280885164) using another method to try to merge two libraries. I'm not sure I fully understand the approach you describe here (and really don't want to blow…

I work on a workstation at the office, a laptop at home. Home is > 1 hr commute from office. I can remote to work from home, and doing so now I see the exact same time on the system clock in the task bar. I am the only user of the library. I …

You have automatic sync turned on?

How can I help you identify the cause of the conflicts, the next time this comes up?
