@anjo7539 - Thanks for trying to help. I have created a new thread at https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/70054/zotfile-user-defined-wildcards-figuring-it-all-out where I am trying to figure out everything about user-defined wildcards. I have given…

Here is the text of another question that I posted over in another thread. That thread is for ALL ZotFile questions and I feel it is getting a little long in the tooth. This thread is ONLY for questions and explanations about the user-defined wildca…

AND most people don't know how to edit documentation wikis. PLUS, editing the wiki requires special permission and a separate password. Therefore, you once again exclude everyone who does not already know everything you already know. I am trying to …

Using "Optional Wildcards" On ZotFile.com the author says, "Optional wild-cards mean that {-%y} only includes the seperator - in the filename if %y is defined." That is all he says about this important feature. This is another aspect of conditional…

"Exclusive Wildcards" and their implications: The first thing that I have figured out is that renaming files is a two phase/level process. You have the "wildcards" (ether the standard ones or the user-defined ones) and then you have how they are us…

Thank you. However, this does not tell me much more than what is on ZotFile.com. I see that it is JSON. And I see that regular expressions can be used as PART of one of these sets of commands. But JSON is nothing more than a format for storing dat…

How do you get to the zotfile.wildcards.default and zotfile.wildcards.user files? Are there any better instructions for using User-defined Wildcards? The ones on the ZotFile website are a little sparse.

Just want to add my vote for this.

Oh My. Thanks for the info. Of course, that confirms my assumption that the standard is difficult to use. Well, I've designed XML schemas in XML Schema, and I will need to learn Relax NG soon enough. I will try the visual editor, thanks.

Well crap. everything in angle brackets has been stripped out. I will try square brackets. [Journal name or Publisher (if no journal name)]; [YYYY]-[MM]-[DD]; pp. [page range]; [Article title with illegal characters stripped out]; [FirstName LastNa…

But, you see, adamsmith, that is my point. I have hopes of becoming an academic but am not one now. I don't have an advanced degree and I don't have years of experience writing academic papers with full and proper citations. I, like millions of othe…

Dear adamsmith, My aggressive tone comes from years and years of trying to get answers out of developers and users of both open source and shareware software, almost completely to no avail. I have had only somewhat better luck with commercial soft…

I am speaking of the field names shown in the user interface, in the right-most pane. The part where the user enters the data. fbenett, the link you provided is merely a translation chart to the names of fields used in other software. It does …

Well, well, well. It seems my English teacher was wrong, at least for APA style. I finally found the section that explains what to do in my situation. According to the APA Publication Manaul, 5th edition, section 4.16, example 22, "Citation of a wor…

My English teacher, who has been publishing in academic circles for a very long time, says that one should always give credit to the source where one originally found the quote. For instance, suppose I am reading an article by Andy Arbuckle and Arbu…

adamsmith, Point taken. I was not addressing this particular feature request as much as the general trend I have been seeing in the forums. At some point in the future I will write up my super handy system for doing research and post it on…

Over the decades I have seen a lot of different software projects: commercial, shareware, and now open source. It seems that every time a really good program comes along that allows a certain amount of flexibility, there will inevitably be users who…

Hey, could you tell the rest of us how you did it? Thanks

Shouldn't Lynx support have been first? ;^)

noksagt: Note that this was described as a javascript exploit.You are correct. I missed that part. I know of no viruses that place javascript exploit code in folders on a user's hard drive. A virus could, just as easily, replace files already in the…
-
Although this isn't the best forum for troubleshooting virus problems... Viruses often look for what appear to be unused folders or folders where the user will not look in often and will therefore not notice extra files accumulating. This is where …

To see all the collections an item is in, select the item and then hold down the “Option” key on Macs or the “Control” key on Windows. This will highlight all collections that contain the selected item. That doesn't seem to work in Zotero 1.5b2. It…

I would like to be able to include some kind of pointer from the items in these notes to the specific places in the large web pages that support the item in the note. Ideally, I would like to be able to click on hot spots next to the items in the no…

My mistake. I assumed (wrongly) that Zotero wouldn't slip behind AdBlock's back and download the original page if you click "Create new item from current page". My gues is that it is the WebPageDump code. It is probably simply looking at the parent …

As for your other points, it might be worthwhile to check out some Firefox extensions. The one below allows you to do the selection inversions. It also has the benefit that you can strip the page before saving it in Zotero, saving you the trouble of…

edit: the e-mail import may be ideal to write as a plugin, no? I'd love to, just as soon as I really learn how to write code. I am still at the learning data structures and stuff like Java Generics right now. But I've got less than a year to really…

You can retroactively edit the pages you capture. If you click on "Show file" in the right pane. You can then just launch the HTML file through whatever editor you want and edit the archived page. Again, I hate to dredge up an old discussion (OK may…

(2)Take a snapshot with zotero firstly. Then open it and remember the filename (shown in the address bar of your firefox) that zotero used to link to. Then use "show file" with this snapshot and open the directory (dir1). Then delete all files in th…

Yes, I use the NoScript add-on for Firefox to block ads. However, for these issues I think in terms of how things would work for regular people. As a former computer consultant, I can tell you that most people have no clue how to get rid of all thos…
