There's a pretty good chance that if you reinstall the Zotero plugin, your data will still be there. The data live in your firefox profile, not in the main firefox application (here's how to find it: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles)? …

Hm. That's confusing CB. CSA doesn't like my institution's proxy, but the other three all work fine for me, PDF and all. I'm using the latest 1.5beta, so I can't vouch for earlier versions. I have all the autoproxy stuff turned off in Zotero …

CB, I haven't been having any problem with proxy and translation, it almost always works, at least for biomed stuff. If you give me a few journal articles that have given you problems I can search and see if they work for me via my EZproxy setup--e…

I agree with Scot that "forum fade" is an issue, and I'd be in favor of a "requested features" page on which a small set of superusers would have authority to create new items and merge similar ones, and all registered users could post some sort of …

Regarding #1, the placement of PDFs, I'm in the same boat as CB--I don't much like it, but have reconciled myself to it because of robust OS search capacity. I've set up smart folders/saved searches on my desktop that catch all files of type=PDF in…
-
This has come up once or twice, and is an excellent idea. It could be in the form of "confirm metadata" checkboxes next to each PDF in a batch operation. I think it'd also be useful to be able to point the metadata searcher to a particular reposit…

Thanks, cavallad, that worked great! My first bit of Zotero coding. I did try Scaffold before posting here but it didn't seem to connect to the database. Not sure if that's an access/permissions issue or if it's not working. Anyway, thanks for t…

Is there a way to get this translator updated in the main Zotero translator repository? Google patents is now by far the best way to access US patents, but doesn't, AFAIK, cover international patents. The WIPO website stinks, so espacenet seems to…

"You could just use "Date" to enter the filing date while you're waiting for this to be fixed." Yep, that's what we started doing as soon as we realized that the filing date was missing. I'm not much of a programmer: will the manually entered fili…

I'd like to bump this thread and add a request to translate both filing date and issue date in any patent-related translators and in the Patent item type. This was obliquely addressed in the original ticket generated by this thread (see erazlogo ab…

+1 on PMID, though I'm mostly agnostic on how to implement it in terms of data structure, ie, accession number vs extra vs dedicated field or tab. When I share references with colleagues or leave placeholders in grants or manuscripts I always use P…

+1 on this. I only want the snapshot when I can't get the PDF. Thanks for suggesting this.

My solution in Max OS X for the inscrutable file/folder structure of the Zotero directory was to create a smart folder/saved search on my dektop for: file type=PDF location=Zotero and subdirectories Zotero does a nice job renaming PDFs …

If I download Zotero and reinstall, will the DOI function be active? I'll test it out with a stack of PDFs and keep track of any that don't work. The DOI extraction might fix a lot of the problems. Thanks for being so responsive! I am a big Zote…

I've just tested a sample workflow for the journals Stroke and JBC. With stroke, googling the DOI takes you straight to the PDF version of the paper, no metadata for Zotero to scrape. With JBC, googling DOI takes you to the journal's full text htm…

I'd love an awkward context menu or dialog such as the one you describe, Dan, and have it on my short list of things to put on the feature request forum. Both Mekentosj Papers and Mendeley currently do this (though they don't have the same parent/c…
-
point taken, krueschan. that's a convincing case for file compression. I have thought of a workaround for the PDF thing in the meantime, which is basically to independently upload the PDFs to a directory of our server and point to them from wi…

I had a similar problem with items syncing to the trash--I'm running sync preview 3.8 on ff3.0.6 on a mac, and on a windows XP virtual machine on the same computer. When the windows machine synced to the server, those trashed files also got trashed…

I've done a little work on the Excel/CSV problem and I think I hit on a solution--If you have access to EndNote, you can use it as a CSV to RIS converter. Use the linked instructions below to format a CSV file for EndNote import, and then you can u…
