Disabled Zotfile, restarted Zotero. Same result.

Yes, I agree that the options don't make sense as choices for Zotero stand alone. I didn't think to mention that I did install Zotfile. http://s564.photobucket.com/user/herb1836/media/zotero.jpg.html I overlayed "About Zotero" pane in upp…

Unfortunately the tag is on the note. I do a search through the index for all items named "Ralph". A particular note contains "Ralph". ----- Obviously I'll have to wait for the changes. Since I can have multiple notes "attache…

aurimas - Thank you very much for the insight. Nice thing about standards, there are so many from which to choose. :-) I understand your point, but en-EN are computer codes. I am a Hew-Man. I'd like to read "English" on the screen instead…

I can do this manually. It really makes sense that "Stand Alone" should not have these options. I have 5 Browser windows open. For which is Zotero supposed to make a link?
-
I'm really talking about just canonicalizing language names for automatic input. So if Zotero is automatically inputing a journal article for example which has the language specified as "EN", then Zotero would look in the file (which I can edit) and…

The annoyance is that when entering langauges manually, then "EN', "English", "en", and "eng" are all presented as choices. I just want "English". So I create and "Advanced Search' to find "EN", "en", and "eng" and fix them manually. You also h…

The reason for all of this was that I have some old JSTOR pdf that have the article in images. Some of the JSTOR documents even have the cover page as an image. as I go to the library to work to find new articles, I would like to check to see …

Ok, figured out a workaround for all of this... To recap, I wanted to tag each pdf files with either _is_an_Image_pdf or _is_a_FullText_pdf . I created the following search and named it "No PDF Type". (1) Title CONTAINS .pdf (2) Ta…

Excellent point. There is more than one pdf reader!! I can certainly understand that you don't want to do something clumsy that you'd have to undo if Adobe changed the features of its reader. Thanks for the discussion! Max

Maybe it is a Adobe issue. But which company is the 600 gorilla? If would be great if Adobe added html type link to its markup capabilities, but Adobe isn't going to do it to make Zotero work better.

!@#$%^&*( Mixed ideas with "Probably better to think of "Temple - Heron Triangles - 2010.html" as a shortcut to the "Temple - Heron Triangles - 2010.pdf" file." The shortcut notion is a directory of links to PDF files. Not hooks in Zot…

Thanks for pointing out the add in for "zotero://select links". I'm going to install the tool and play with it. But it doesn't seem that if I'm reading a pdf file in Acrobat reader (the REAL reader, not the browser plug in..) that I could use …
-
I'll read your links and add more examples... Let me also be a bit more illustrative with a simple example at this point. I have a Zotero item about Temple's paper titled 'Heron Triangles" which was published in 2010. I'd like Zotero to cr…

Thanks again for a good tip. I thought maybe I could just spin through the list of PDFs and look to see if the file was indexed. That works but only to a small extent. !@#$%^ Jstor put a copy page on a lot of the "old" pdf files that I have. S…

Thanks for answering, but I knew about that nifty part of Zotero. Look at pdf file you can download from this webpage: http://projecteuclid.org/euclid.aoms/1177731283 JSTOR: links.jstor.org The pages inside the pdf file are just imag…
-
I do flip the two fields after I enter the name. I"m just guessing but I seem to find "first last" to cut and paste more often than "last, first" I finally realized Dan's point about defaulting to last used. So for mutiple authors I'll e…

Sorry, I thought I was being clear. I did the search & selection in the "Advanced Search" dialogue window. The tag was in the main Zotero window. ----- I missed part about saving search and using main window. Played wi…
-
Ok, I'm more confused than ever. ---------- Zotero hangs if I do a Cntl-A - which I assume is why the ticket is open. ------------ I had multiple selected by clicking on first item in list, using scroll-bar to go to the end of …
-
Dah.... Ok, senior moment. Fantastic!!
-
I guess I'm really asking is could the behavior be changed in a future release? I can select the items individually, but I could have done that in the main window. The whole point of searching was to get a list on which an operation ( ie tagging) co…
-
OK, after reading your note I played around and realize that I can select PDF files individually in list and just tag the PDF files. With a thousand it is a pain, but doable. I saved a search and can work on it in multiple passes. Does "Includ…

:-( My first comment is a compliant rather than how wonderful the program does work. Sure beats hand editing html files by a mile.
