  • Just for the record: RTF-scan from standalone as well as from the FF-plugin work fine here (Lubuntu Linux 11.10, FF 10.0.2, standard installation from the Ubuntu-repo).
  • works great -- thanks!
  • I can confirm the issue. Great to hear that it will be fixed in 3.0.3 -- thanks for taking care!
  • I agree with those who argued that RTF-scan should have a much higher priority. The fact that this feature does not attract many users is probably due to the fact that it is not well known and does not work very well right now. Despite this fact, th…
  • Thanks that you looked at it. I'll just wait then and hope that my database won't get mixed up (or would it rather be advisable to turn indexing off so that I won't have to kill processes?). Ceterum censeo: Thanks for your great work, Zotero is rea…
  • Hmm..., the last line seems to always look the same (and not very informative). This time: zotero(3): Running pdftotext -enc UTF-8 -nopgbrk -l 1000 "/home/werner/Documents/Datenbank/zotero/storage/RPBT724A/Etzioni - 1996 - The Responsive Community…
  • Thanks, I didn't know it is so easy to produce debug-output. Since I dind't know which part you need and since it's a lot, I put it on my website: http://micha-h-werner.de/zotero_crash.txt The problem occured when I tried to import references from …
  • Another point that _might_ be related: I encountered an indexing problem that is related to filenames. Zotero first hung when I imported (from the Springer-Site) an entry with the following attachment: "Sundman - 2000 - The Good Manager – A Mora…
  • Am I the only one who still has this problem? Is it Ubuntu-specific?
  • I'm using a Thinkpad SL510, with should have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, model T6670 / 2200 MHz. The problem also occurs with smaller PDF's sometimes.
  • ...however, what I cannot confirm is that this actually solves the problem. After removing the pdfinfo from the Zotero data directory, Firefox still hangs frequently when PDF's are indexed...
  • Thanks again! I can confirm both that indexing still works and that number of pages is indeed left out. (Sorry for not reading the earlier discussion carefully enough.)
  • Thanks! But I wonder: Is your advice to remove pdfinfo _without_ reinstalling it? And does that imply that PDFs will not be indexed then?
  • Unfortunately, the proposed solution does not work on my installation (Ubuntu 10.4, Firefox 3.6.6, Zotero 2.0.3, pdfinfo 3.02pl1, pdftotext 3.02pl1). I deleted the binaries and did a re-install of pdfinfo & pdftotext, but Firefox still hangs app…

  • thanks -- great to hear that a rtf-scan feature is already in development!
  • I am now also very much in favor of the generic approach as proposed by bdarcus! Instead of developing many plugins for many different versions of many different programs, on many different platforms, we should just have (1) a simple (text-only?) …

  • Yes, thanks so much!
  • Sorry that I didn't answer earlier. However, currently JabRef 2.4.2 even refuses to open a my Zotero-generated BibTeX-files and complains about EOF-errors that I were not able to solve by manually editing. So I could not currently "take a diff" even…
  • It seems that the problem was related to the name of an attachment. After re-naming the attachment, export works again. Still, the resulting file is unusable within LyX, so the original problem remains...
  • After upgrading to 1.07 and resetting tranlators and styles I'm still unable to use BibTeX export. The problem seems to depend on certain entries, since some selections work, while others do not. The German error message says: "Ein Fehler ist aufge…

  • sorry, this problem was already mentioned in another thread...
  • Good idea, I think. It would be even nicer if Zotero (or a Zotero-plugin) would offer the 'option' to automatically generate an own 'person and corporation'-entry every time you insert a name into an author- or editor-field. One could then enrich th…
  • Upgraded to 1.0.6, reset translators and styles, problem remains, opening and saving in jabref still does the trick. Problem might be related to file size or long lines, since LaTeX (or LyX) complains that file size exceeds buffer size. In addition,…
  • Thanks for your answer. I cannot speak for the community of Abisource developers, but the discussion on http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11271 gives me the impression that, basically due to a lack of manpower, they won't develop a plug…
  • some addition: I also sent the feature request to the people at abiword. Their position is that "the license of zotera is not well known and its compatibity with GPL hasn't been documented" Is it true that there are issues concerni…
  • I support this. Abiword is especially attractive because of its very moderate system requirements. Abiword is also the software that runs on the OLPC-laptop (OpenOffice would consume way too much memory). Since Zotero is such a great tool for knowle…
  • I have the same problem (with MSWord 2003 under XP as well as with OpenOffice.org 2.3 under XP, the newest available versions of Zotero and of the respective plugins. I also followed all advices I could find: deleted zotero.dot and re-installed the …
