I played around with this and it picks the first pdf in the list of its children. So I figured out a simple work around. I started off with AAAAAA BBBBBB I can "rename" them as: (1) BBBBBB (2) AAAAAA then I get the one I …

Well, for my two cents, I'd fix the "Advanced Search" display first. See: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/29543 Then I'd reuse the "Advanced Search" code and add a line in the display window to replace a single field. That would make …

Adam, thanks for the update. I hadn't seen the improvement list. Thanks for that link too.
-
The "rub" to me is that I'd want to see the "Language" column before I did the find and replace. Hence the reason for a "Saved Search." If the "Advanced Search" window could display the language column as well, then the code for the "Replace" w…

But the "functionality" isn't the same. I have the "same" window doing two different things. The "Export" window doesn't popup until after I make my selections. When exporting just a *.bib file you are naming a single file. When ex…
-
That is my point. Both windows have title "Export". I think the code ought two open up the windows with different titles. Same function, just change the title.

Sorry, we're looking at this from two different angles. As you pointed out the history of how a paper developed could be of interest too. I'm sure there are other reasons...

DWL, Good points. Certainly only the published version of a paper should be cited in another paper. For "background" information it seems the arXiv will meet my needs for the moment. I'll point out that I didn't match the papers. The autho…

Played a bit with Dan's suggestion. I didn't realize that you could singly select items in the "Duplicate Items" view, or that they would be editable if you did so. That being said, I now see that you can edit items in the "Duplicate Items" view its…

Ok, here is what I did... http://s564.photobucket.com/user/herb1836/media/zotero_4.jpg.html Sort of hard to miss that the pdf is from arXiv. All(?) arXiv papers are watermarked on left! Now if I need to look up "real" paper, I know w…
-
The way around this to to define a Saved Search "Has Language." "Has language" has 26 tests to see if any of the letters in the alphabet are defined. Wish there was some easy way to define null, blank, missing, undefined, empty space, or …

Dan, Dah... From your comments I knew that I was missing something. I spaced out that you could have "Stand-Alone" notes as well as child notes. That explains why "Note" is used as a "Type" instead of being an "Attachment". Thanks for…
-
Adam, I understand your point and it is technically correct. The arXiv document and the "real" publication of it are two different papers. But is my decision as a user that I want to obtain the data on the "real" publication by looking up…

Dan, Made Chrome my default browser. It work fine with my saved weblink and with Zotero. Definitely something odd in my copy of Firefox. I had been doing website building so I have a zillion things loaded in Firefox. Thanks again for you …
-
Windows/XP & Firefox. Saved a weblink to my desktop. Closed browser. Clicked on weblink. Same weird behavior. I noticed that if I open another tab, the webpage which first opened is OK. ------ Dan, You're absolutely right. I…

That was fast!!! Thanks!! I'll wait for the production release. This was an annoyance of course not a earth shaking problem...
-
aurimas, Not a whole lot of duplicates. But I have run into the problem before. I had some books that had multiple printings/editions. I had a paper where the author used the same title for two "different" publications. One was an in…
-
Yes. I am running Windows/XP professional.

Weird that you don't see it. Thanks for trying...

How many bug reports before I get a gold star?

I get the same result with looking with an article with DOI number. I selected paper, then clicked on "DOI" for that Item to look it up. I then put Zotero window back on top and took a screen shot. You can't see mouse pointer, but notice that "…
-
No, sorry. I left click on book item, then select "View Online" where I have a web address specified for the book.
-
Ok, you understand my idea. Dropping the rope....
-
Thanks for the information. I didn't understand that Zotero didn't "own" the translator which sucks data out of the Library of Congress website. After years of typing all the data in manually, this seems like magic. It still seems that the fie…
-
It is a usability issue. By having a field "*Source", which is not in any of the data types, there is less user confusion about what part of the item record the "*Source" information is using. So "*Source" is for each record type to determine. …

Geeze, you're working on Saturday & Sunday? Hope you drew short straw for covering the weekend and not 24/7 on project.

Looking up at Library of Congress use LCCN 56011373 for example. The book was published in 1956 before ISBN numbers were being used. see search at: http://catalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=First The book is "The am…

Idiot... I can do it now of course with a left mouse click to open the field then a right mouse click to open the choices. Close this as PBKAC
-
I really think this ought to be redone. I can't create a "Note" from the Zotero menu "File / New Item / ...". So to me having a Note typed at the same level as a "Journal Article" or a "Book" doesn't make sense. A Note should be an "Attachment" like…

Dan, Sorry I wasn't clear. The "dog" tag was in a saved search. I do understand your point about tags stored as strings. But as a user I don't care how the computer stores stuff internally. As a user, I have a set of tags. I want to maint…
