  • aurimas, Obviously I need to check out github... Thanks for another pointer. ------ If any one else want to suggest another field for transform text swizzle in this thread, I'll add it to the list above.
  • In bibtex, files are specified using the "file" field as follows: ... file = {Albeck1991.pdf:Albeck1991.pdf:PDF}, ... Since all the files are in the same directory, could you throw file in text editor and do a search and replace? "file = {C:\My…
  • So, it seems import has a workaround. How about export? I'd sure like to be able to take a view and dump it in a format that could be imported into Excel for example. Dump to clipboard and paste into Excel would be even slicker...
  • Problem 2 I'd like the "transform text" option on: Item Type / Field ... / Author Conference paper / Conference Name Conference paper / Place Conference paper / Publisher
  • Problem 2 Look at paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/math/9311201 Used Zotero icon in firebox browser to create a Zotero entry. Would it be possible to put text in "comment" line into the "extra" field in the Zotero? The zrXiv comments are usually some …
  • Suggestion 3 The saved search also ought to allow me to specify a sort order. Say I have list of Analytical Chemistry Journal Articles. I sort by: Vol # (year) / Issue # / Page # That way I get list in the print sequence.
  • Well, how about a compromise. In CSL editor have "File / Exit Zotero" instead of "File /Exit". That way at least you know you're shutting down everything. It is the sort of mistake that you make once and learn.
  • World cat where Zotero looked up book.
  • Problem 2 ore problems with library lookup... (1) Create a new book entry. (2) type this number into ISBN filed: "9780444529367" (3) Do a lookup, which will fail. (4) Note change ISBN filed to "ISBN 9780444529367" (5) Do a lookup - which wil…
  • Simon, Sorry that I didn't explain the problem more clearly. I select "File Exit" on the CSL editor, not the main Zotero window. It would see to me that I could edit a CSL file, click File/Close to close that edit file. Edit another CSL file, save …
  • To me it is all about the cleanup of "type"... I'll write a summary of where I think things stand tomorrow. That way the other guys won't have to dig through all of this... You can press + on your keyboard to expand and - to collapse. Yes, I know …
  • show all items without attachments, which would almost obviate the need for the "Wanted" collection. (I showed you how to do that in the post above. Is something not working?) Item Type is not Attachment Item Type is Journal Article + Include parent…
  • Dah.... Max, You have to "Format comment as HTML" ------------ By "Attached file" and "Copied File" I was trying to make two different child types. So I have on my harddrive a directory D:\references into which I stick all my PDF files. I creat…
  • aurimas, Let me take the easy thing first... By the Wikipedia reference I meant that for a "Web Page" "item type" that I wouldn't expect to have a child attachment. I just expect to go to the latest version of the "Web Page" when I clicked…
  • I know you have bigger things to fix, but this seems like something that you should keep in mind if you get mucking around with that part of the code. Odd but Zotero does so many things well that a little sang like this is annoying. Than…
  • !@#$%^&* How do you get "blockquote" to work? Does it show up in preview as box?
  • There is no "Attachment File Type is Note" option. It finally occured to me what was going on with "Attachment File Type". These choices have a discrete file which would be saved. Notes and snap shots for example are children, but don't have an a…
  • There are also a few weird things... I had added some Wikipedia links which had entered as "Encyclopedia Articles" for reference. Probably be better as "website" since you wouldn't really need a "snapshot". I have some "bare" PDF files wh…
  • Ok, here goes... ----------------- "Parent Note" Item Type / is / Note X Show only top-level items This gets only "parent notes". ----------------- "Is a Parent Item Type" Item Type / is not / Attachment Saved Sea…
  • aurimas, THANK YOU! I'll try it. I lied a bit. I other references besides just "Journal Articles". So for second line I'd need a saved search that includes all the parent "Item Types". With my suggestion, you wouldn't need the massi…
  • Dah.... You need both "Attachment File Type" and "Attachment Type" as choices in the "Advanced Search". The choices that need to be available in The "Advanced Search" filter criteria for "Attachment Type" are: is, is not / Attached File is, is n…
  • Dan, You're right. The work around that I proposed - doesn't work. :-( I'd swear it worked when I tried it, but I've played with it again and I just can't get it to work. I'm stumped....
  • Ok, one more weird thing about type... "Advanced Search" has a filter condition field named "Item Type". Create the following filter. Item Type / is / Note You get all the items which have "Note" as their "Item Type" or "Attachment File Type". …
  • For instance I entered some journal articles which I want to track down. But since I don't have a pdf file for the "Journal Article", there is no associated attachment.
  • One of the "Advanced Search" choices is "Attachment File Type" which seems like it should be change to simply "Attachment Type". Attachments aren't necessarily individual files. Note for example doesn't have an associated file. You can have a …
  • There is a similar problem with the "Publication" and "Title" selections of the "Advanced Search". "Publication" has a number of different fields with Title in the name. In fact the only field that doesn't have Title in the name is Publication…
  • fbennett - Thanks for the tip! I'll spin through that as well. ------------ All in all it would make sense to me to change the "Advanced Search" choice "Type" to "Item Type Field".
  • Editing to to put all of these on the same page.... ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Ok, here are problems with Bubble popup for "Type" in "Advanced Search" choices. Bubble name / Item Type / Ite…
  • Dah, Max.... Of course. Now it makes sense. The other place that needs to be change to "Item Type" is where you select the columns in the main Zotero window. I was playing with this and just noticed that some of the choices in the left mo…
  • RE: * From menu Select "Tools / Options..." * Weird that window name is "Zotero Preferences" instead of "Zotero Options" ---- I noticed that the "gear" icon in the toolbar for Zotero standalone has the option "Preferences..." which…
