That's great David, thanks for the info. Let me know if you need any beta testing--I'm using ff 3.0.13 on mac 10.5.8. I think the most relevant ticket may not be 1455, but the one it refers back to: https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1375. Also, …

In addition to PMC translators still (at least in my hands) being broken, there appears to be a minor issue with the PubMed translator--it appears to work in all instances *except* the multiple item selector in Abstract view (it works fine in Summar…
-
I've duplicated this. Espacenet translator also appears to be broken again. Patent support seems to be a very low priority for the Zotero devs--fair enough, they are busy and need to fix the issues that hit the most users first. Is there anyone…
-
I think you'd find a lot of takers on this--such a style could be linked in the obvious places on Zotero support pages (or even the front page). It would also, presumably, work for multiple, if not all, versions of EndNote. I also think it would b…
-
Yeah, I agree it's a weird place to post this. The UI issue has been bugging me for awhile, but not quite enough for me to initiate a new thread, and wheezepuppet's post reactivated the brain cells where that peeve lives. OTOH, I think wheezepuppe…

While I deeply admire the Zotero devs and community and the very high-level discussion that goes on here from the standpoint of data and metadata architecture and usage, the Zotero user interface invites this sort of confusion by using folders as th…
-
I would also love to get rid of et al--one of the things I love about the zotfile plugin's renaming function is that one can turn off the et al and just have "creator year title" file names. Dan, what are the chances that Zotfile's renaming code ca…
-
I was going to suggest this as well. I actually think the * rating tags are better than a workaround--properly deployed, it means you can very easily see all 5-star papers with a given subject tag or combination of tags using the tag selector pan…
-
++1 on this, especially numbers 3 and 4. The metadata retrieval's tendency to hang indefinitely on a single doc completely kills any batch functionality, which is a major impediment to new people trying to import their stacks of PDFs into Zotero. …
-
PubMed uses a series of tags or field codes set off by square brackets, which makes it easy to just type the search you want eg: tolstoy[au] (tolstoy as a listed author) tolstoy[1au] (tolstoy as the first author) "war and peace"[ti] for title tolsto…
-
+1. I, too, have found that Google scholar frequently has the author order wrong.
-
I agree that PubMed metadata is more consistent then publisher sites, and the translator is less likely to be broken. It also has the added benefit of pulling in the PMID, which I find indispensable in quickly and easily sharing citations with coll…
-
This is also related to the requests and ticket for 'unfiled' and 'untagged' collections to create automatic bins for literature collection mode which you can then go back to for tag/comment/file mode. I'm not sure which approach I like better--cer…
-
Chip, if you're in a tinkering mood, you could always use Rintze's fix and adapt these instructions to edit your local translator until it's fixed in the repository. I am emphatically NOT a coder, but I was able to get a broken translator for an in…
-
I would definitely like a feature like this--in trying to goad all my co-workers over to Zotero, several are resistant to file syncing and don't want to clutter their hard drives with PDFs they don't need, but they do occasionally need access to ind…
-
One can definitely do this, it works great, and I use it all the time. I'm using a mac and I've created a smart folder for all files of type=PDF in the Zotero storage directory. So it's a folder that has a constantly up to date listing of all my…
-
I especially appreciate the configurability of the ZotFile renaming preference in that it can be set to only include the first author and to leave out et al, so that a file that Zotero (or Zoterename) would name Smith and Johnson - 2008 - Title or …
-
I like collections and I like the way they work (though I'm still trying to figure out where they are and are not redundant with tags). But I think the problem here is that the collection icon is a folder. So (especially new) users naturally exp…
-
Hi Sandra--my guess is that if your college has some kind of NetFiles or other networked storage for individuals (usually accessed using your College ID/login or similar) it would work for webDAV. Alternatively, many users have found that Jungledis…
-
I agree that the child/attachment rename would be awesome! Especially with the patent rename fixed. regarding SiGi's two posts, here are two recent threads on PDF renaming and patent dates.
-
+1 on this. It doesn't need to be automated because it's not really a batch-type workflow anyway, given that one would have to manually drag the attachment into Z pane. I've often wished that Zotfile or Zotero could, with a button or right-click (…
-
regarding bionatsci's post on tags: I was initially excited about the ability of Z to pull in PubMed keywords as tags before learning the hard way that it's worse than useless--some PubMed tags are too granular, some too general, some too long, and…
-
Very interesting discussion--to chime in on the subject of ordering (with no strong feelings about implementing it or not): Some people want to use Z not only as a library, but also as the stack of unread papers on their desk. From a UI/metaph…
-
Joshwhitkin, it works fine in 2.0, aside from some weird inconsistencies with the button appearing/disappearing.
-
wonderful. I've been hoping for this one.
-
I should add, by the way, since this thread seems to attract all the zotfile aficionados, that I "discovered" a neat side effect of the way zotfile interacts with the download source directory. Since zotfile moves (as opposed to copies) the file, t…
-
Hmm. I just tried on exactly the same setup (on a virtual machine within mac OSX), and the combo of zotfile102, zotero2b4, znc ff3010 works fine. If you only have one ff window open, and you've already changed the about:config settings, I'm stump…
-
I'm not sure if the espace PDFs can ever be automated, since each one requires passing a captcha test. I've been using the Zotfile plugin, which takes a little fiddling (well-documented in their instructions) to get to work, but which will pull…
-
Not sure how technically feasible this is, but what if every imported URL recognized by a Zotero translator is assumed to be the citing URL? Just have the translator mechanism scan all incoming URLs during import. It's imperfect, but would at leas…
-
+1 on this. the closest thing that currently exists is the zotz firefox plugin, which is very nice, but doesn't do the PDF thing: http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Zotz . I think the elephant in the room with any such system would be copyright--if it…
