Is this fixed in the next release (current production 5.0.58)? I'd like to see #pages for both the "Book" and "Book Section" types too. PS - When switching from type "Book Section" to "Book" the book pages should get copied, and the "Book Section…

You can drag and move... See comment https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/315034/#Comment_315034

That just seems to be quirky. Being a numb numb I clicked on the (...). It really seems like there should be some better indication since every label for a field isn't also a button. The button region could be the whole region of "( + ) Abstract" an…

Don't really need a "progress indicator" as such. When you click the "Check Database Integrity" button the color of the button changes. Really just need to know that Zotero is working on collecting the results vs. there are no items to display.

Yes, I just had the problem too. It is very annoying. Lookup the "Halting Problem", ie how long should I wait?
-
I still have a "Saved Search", which when selected, Zotero stops, says there is an error and forces a restart. Is there any to clear this land mine? Tried a right mouse click but that won't work. Did a check of DB integrity and get an OK. Is ther…

For the next release would it be possible, and reasonable, to unpin this thread and start a new thread? This is has just gotten so long that it is hard to follow.

I flipped the name fields around in my above comment. So Zotero could be changed to have two fields for each name, a "Display Name" and a "Citation Name". > User could manually ,or by batch edit, add "Display Names" for "Citation Names" > …

In a different thread I wondered about having a Zotero display name and a Zotero citation name for each author. If you don't override the Zotero display name then Zotero would just use the citation name by default. Perhaps something similar for d…

@djross3 - The problem with authors also extends to pen names, eg "Samuel Clemens" aka "Mark Twain". I'm not sure how different journals do it, but if Mary Smith gets married and changes her name to Mary Jones, I'd like citation to stay Mary Smith…

I looked through the other threads. It seems some sort of batch editing is planned for Zotero 5.2. I don't think that would help. I'm guessing that Zotero must sort the date as text in some table, then also parse it to YYYY-MM-DD format somewhere …

I wonder about a log file for this. Maybe: Some sort of bibliographic entry for the item (cr,lf) DATE IN xxxxx Date Stored xxxxx
-
I'll look at the other threads, but it doesn't seem like quantum electrodynamics. For the truly anal, perhaps an option to Yes/No to approve each modification? If you select "No" you get a tag "#Date" on the item so you can find them manually. I'…

@adamsmith - Super fantastic! I'll give cmd+click a try.

Ok. In in "Preferences> Advanced>Files and Folders" reset both the base directory and the data directory location were set to C:\Users\PC Owner\Documents\Zotero. Seems to be working again. > Emptying the trash which has bad link. > …

As I remember when changing from type "Book Section" to "Book" you get warned that the "Book Title" field will be lost. It really isn't clear that means that the title of the "Book" type will be set to the title of the "Book Section" type. This i…

Ok. made backups. Before I download a new copy of Zotero, I'm doing some more poking around. > When I had tried the "View PDF" option on the bad PDF file attachment the file selection window was weird. I didn't realize at the time what was ha…

Stopping and restarting Zotero doesn't fix the problem. The action of the "View PDF" option seems to be hung on "Show File"

@dstillman: I'm of course don't mean to knock those that help. Beta testing is important. However I'd just play around with a beta version and not use it for "production" work. I fully appreciate that there is no way for the Zotero development tea…

!@#$%^&* Tried to reproduce the error today and I can't. Same version of Zotero, so nothing was changed there. Weird, I had this problem dozens of times yesterday. :-(
-
Just tested and dragging & dropping onto an item within the PC version creates a "Stored Copy" of the file. So the file itself is copied into the Zotero database. (That should really be made clear on webpage that bwiernik supplied...)

Not sure exactly what you are asking. But I'll try... Assuming that you start with say a Journal article (whatever really...) 1. You select that item in the middle list. 2. Right mouse button bring up a dialog box for which one of the options is…

Why would be working with 2000 items and a beta release?!? I don't know if you can have a production release and a beta release installed on same PC, but I'd never ever try to do "real" work with a beta release. Just seen to many programs blow up.

To be a nincompoop isn't the "Find available PDF" function done by the add-in ZotFile and not Zotero proper?
-
No, I had to create the attachment manually. If I click on the magic Zotero button on Firefox not happens with just that PDF in view. For the icon a box with a chain link at the bottom, is the background white or blueish? What is the complete lin…

I'm confused. I just added a URL link to an item which pointed to a PDF file on the web. Using "Attachment file type=PDF" in a saved search did not find the file. Link was https://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.4139.pdf Are you perhaps trying to differentia…

It depends on what you're trying to do... You can either have a (1) PC version or (2) a Zotero web account and a PC version. You don't need to be logged into the Zotero web account to "pull" data from the web. You only need the host account to syn…

Ok, I think I have it. Never used Dropbox before. Link to pictures. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xksusel1p35bt3z/AAAEJA6rPqEDnQ-leVtiKnM1a?dl=0 zotero#1.jpg Shows Zotero after pasting the text into the RTF editor field. Notice that in upper right o…
