You’re right, I should have left out the comment about replying. I do apologize. I used to actively report bugs in the past. I use Zotero all the time for work, and I’m usually really invested in contributing to software I use. However over time, I…

Yeah, it happens quite often that I do not receive any reply here about my questions or suggestions, despite these being what I consider reasonable. I’ve mostly given up on using this forum for this reason. Some of my comments even lead to changes i…

Since no one bothered to reply, here’s my solution for anyone interested. Follow the procedure to download Zotero’s source code here: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/building_the_desktop_app Then, in chrome/content/zotero/tabs.js,…
-
Oh right I get it. Makes sense now.
-
I thought open tabs were persistent after issuing a CMD-W, same as clicking on the red button to close the window?
-
Unfortunately I could not figure out any way to trigger it. Yesterday it happened after I switched to the iOS app from the iOS home screen... It does really seem to happen randomly, and not depend on specific files. I’m pretty sure it always happene…
-
Good to know, thank you @dstillman!
-
Yeah I think you’re right. I just happened to use Zotero *a lot* in the past few days and the problem started at that moment, but I’ve noticed today that it also happened with other apps. Seems like a system issue indeed, and unrelated to Zotero.

Interestingly, my library seems filled with books that have either, a) no ISBN, or b) an ISBN, with "Library of Congress ISBN" in the "Library Catalog" field c) an ISBN, with "Open WorldCat" in the "Library Catalog" field I’ve tried searching the …
-
Actually I just remembered about pyzotero ; maybe I could try to make a script that does a one-time backfill for the 1500 items in my library whose abstract is missing. Papers will be probably be easy, but for books I’m not sure. Any idea how I cou…
-
Interesting. I just checked and it’s indeed pretty straightforward with a DOI to obtain e.g. the PMID, and export it as structured text (nbib) with the abstract included. That means the plugin would be a simple loop over item abstracts, and if blank…
-
Yeah I just checked on Crossref, which I know other plugins fetch their data from (e.g., DOI) and abstracts aren’t part of metadata in their database. That would likely mean a plugin would have to fetch the abstract from individual journals—a pretty…
-
Right now I have annotations, but I did not have any at the time of the crash. Unfortunately I can’t reproduce the crash. The iOS app also freezes sometimes (can’t change page for several seconds) and cannot reproduce that either, it happens random…
-
Sure, just sent. Thank you!
-
It happened with two different files (papers from arxiv or somewhere else similar), unfortunately I could not replicate the crash as I opened the file again, scrolled and everything was fine. Moreover, if it’s of any help, the ipad on which this ha…
-
Other workaround: I pop up a Finder window on top of PathFinder, and drag the file onto that. It’s annoying but prevents any issue.
-
Yes I’m 100% sure the file exists. However I can’t reproduce it reliably. If I drag the PDF out of an item once (e.g. onto my Desktop) it’s gonna say PDF not found when I get back to Zotero, and if I drag it one more time the problem doesn’t show…
-
Interestingly, when trying to reproduce the behavior I couldn’t at first because the problem only happens on certain items, not all. I am not sure what those items have in common vs the other items where the problem doesn’t happen. I’ve reproduced …
-
Yeah I hesitated too between the external reader/built-in reader because of performance issues but in the end having every annotation synchronized is really a big upside.. Still looking forward to Zotero 7 too though, lots of big textbooks here too…
-
@dstillman thanks for the reply! @tim820 was browsing github projects tagged zotero yesterday and I remember seeing some CLI/python tools with which you could do that as well, if you ever get tired of JScript or want to automate further
-
@dstillman yes sending the PDF now, it’s not a scanned image it’s a figure with a lot of curves understood about performance, i’ll wait for Zotero 7 and see how it goes Thank you!
-
Thank you!
-
Thanks for the reply @dstillman. I’m so relieved it’s "only" a bug, I thought my database was corrupted! I can confirm the temporary fix works. Thank you.
-
Can someone help please? I’m worried there seems to be something wrong with my Zotero database here.
-
Additional information: those ~200 results also appear erroneously in other saved searches where they shouldn’t be. This wasn’t the case a few days ago. Either something happened with my library, or some recent update introduced a bug in the search…
-
Worked perfectly. Thank you for your help @emilianoeheyns !
-
I want to convert all "report" items in my library to "preprint". I was only using the "report" item type because the "preprint" type wasn’t available in previous Zotero versions.
-
I’m not sure I understand your question; by "identifies them collectively" you mean like a tag? If that’s the case, I can sort my entire library by "item type" then select all the "report" items, and apply them a tag? Would that work?
-
@dstillman can the devs please investigate this?
-
Seems like the Zotero Citations Counts Manager plugin comes back often. I have created an issue in the plugin’s github repository: https://github.com/eschnett/zotero-citationcounts/issues/26 Not sure if this can be fixed by the plugin developers o…
