Adam, I'm a little confused. Is this in a coming release? I've checked for updates for both Zotero Standalone and Firefox. But this isn't working. From: http://lccn.loc.gov/56011373 I get the Book" with an attached note with one line "statement…

To me the "Unfiled Items" "collection" is the collection of items which don't have an assigned collection. In other words it is the collection of items which have "nil" as their collection specification. It is a "holding" collection. I can make…

Super Fantastic Adam! Thank you.

The guys here usually jump on things, but I'll chip in. You can check your storage on the cloud computer by hitting the blue "Upgrade Storage" button". That will tell you how much storage you have used.

Had a different thought.... In drop down for Author how about another separator and add Choices like "one Name" and "Last, First" For a visual indicator you could underline names in one name mode. This way you'll gain a couple of characters on t…

Tried Adam's suggestion. Title, Creator, Year do flip back and forth a-z and z-a. I was trying to sort on "Journal Abbrev" which evidently only goes A-Z now. Dah... Thought I did check some other columns. Senior moment ?!?

Still trying to catch when the collections panel gets off centered. I'll be working and then notice it has happened...

How about this? http://s564.photobucket.com/user/herb1836/media/control.jpg.html

If you really want a redesign here is my suggestion. Make it a "radio button" type control. For one field have rectangle with one nested rectangle. The inner rectangle is black. For two fields have rectangle with two nested rectangles. The inner …

Is there really any reason to fool with the icons for this? As it is now there is either a single box, or a double box. * If double box is displayed,then field is "single mode" * If single box is displayed it is in "Double mode." * You can click …

Close this... The buttons are now working. I uploaded a large database. Must take a few minutes for server to index everything right.

I tried shutting Zotero down and starting up again. That too didn't fix the quirk. Clicking on [-] in front of B is a no-op of course.

To try to be more clear, the problem starts when the collections shift within their pane as you can see in the left most of the four images.

Yes windows XP professional, service pak 3. Firefox (21.0) and Zotero (4.0.8).

Ok here is a couple of screen shots stuck to gether. http://s564.photobucket.com/user/herb1836/media/zotero_5.jpg.html Going from left to right. (1) Noted that collection list has shifted left oddly "out of bounds." * Click on control with two…

Next time it happens I'll take a screenshot. But in essence that is the problem. The two arrows with the dashed line "disappear" on the left hand side of the window and there is nothing to click on.

Don't know sqaut at gitHub. Isn't there some way to let the public view, but only select users add to the issues? This would mean that you'd have to "approve" members who could make additions, but that would be better than having idiots like me…

I know this getting off the topic of this thread, but couldn't/shouldn't these two lists be on: https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_bugs I'd put them up at the top and state: "Before reporting a problem please check the following lists for k…

Geeze, I did try looking in the forums, then checked: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues I didn't realize that there was another issue list: https://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/issues I promise to check both next time...

adamsmith More generally, I'm not sure why this is so important. Not having checked this in the code, I'd assume the current behavior is xulrunner's default for windows management. That means any change would likely require a fair amount of dev time…

I'll also point out that opening/closing windows is weird from Windows GUI design standard. Zotero 1. open Zotero 2. On menu do "tools/Options..." to get "Zotero Preferences" window 3. Go to main Zotero window and click in the "X" in the upper ri…

Now there are no popups in the column selection for the center pane of the main Zotero window. Note that a generalization of Suggestion 5 is to use the same mouse over popups for both choices in Advanced Search and choices in the column selection.
-
Just realized there is no #4 suggestion in above list. Don't want to renumber since this would have gone out. I think renumbering now would create more confusion than it is worth...

The great GUI Cleanup for TYPE Suggestion 1 A. In columns be displayed in center pane of Zotero window change Item to Item Type B. A corresponding change must be made in the drop down list where the columns to be viewed are selected. This seems …

OK, Think I found a solution to this. The Windows operating system has an option for the "repeat deal". By making that longer it seems to give me more time to type the next character. Weird where you have to look for stuff.. Thanks Adam f…

I tried a couple of programs, but they don't work. Both of my little fingers are deformed and useless for typing, even on a computer keyboard. So the problem is to figure out how to position eight fingers over keyboard. I was supposed to take …

Thanks! I looked, didn't see anything promising. ----- I should have learned to type better long ago... Reminds me of when the then governor of Georgia Lester Maddox was being taken to task over the rate for prisoner recidivism. Maddo…

Thanks for explanation Adam. I know zilch about the translators. It seems that you'll need to refactor the database again sometime in the future. For each Zotero record It seems you need an "Added by" as well as the date entered. * Manually * Wik…
