Thanks for the Zotero update and the information that the font colour option will return soon. I am also struggling without the font colour in notes as it guided the level of importance I attached to different sections of my notes.
-
Many thanks again. I have done as you suggested, installed Zotero on my new computer and navigated to the default data directory "Users-Karen-Zotero." When I clicked on Zotero - there were already three folders (Locate, Styles, Translators as well a…

Many thanks. Apologies for my inaccurate explanation but my question is even more basic given my limited knowledge of how a database works. Do I need to install the Zotero software again with connector etc on my new computer or is it sufficient to j…
-
Many thanks. That is very reassuring to have the process outlined. I will let you know how I go. My Zotero directory is very large (over 80GB) and my new hard drive is already struggling for space so I will need to copy the temporary folder (zotero.…

I have just sent an email with screen shots and link to this discussion to support@zotero. When I came to try to delete Zotero library from new hard drive and copy across old directory I was unsure how to proceed. I have included screen shots to sho…

Many thanks for your advice (and apologies for the delay in responding as have been having a short break). I have not tried this yet but believe it will work as the change was not made on the old computer before the transfer. With appreciation.
-
Many thanks again. I really appreciate your help. I have just sent the screen shots via email. However, I think that you are right about what the technician has done in importing the group library into my personal library. Yes I do still have the Z…

Hi, Many thanks for your attention to this. Exporting the group library and importing it into My Library is exactly what the technician said he did. I am hoping there is something I can do to recover from this? I will also try to do a screen shot an…

I also wanted to clarify that this was not so much a backup as installing the two Zotero libraries I use every day. ie what is appearing is not sqlite files or the one Zotero data folder but the collections of my two libraries with their parent and …
-
Many thanks. That is a big relief. If I leave the group library as part of 'My Library' as it now appears, can I still add material to the 'Group Library'? ie in the past when I opened Zotero there was a clear division on the screen between 'My Libr…

Thank you both for taking the time to respond and your suggestions. To my great relief when I turned Zotero on this morning (australian time) the 'book' sub collection had reappeared. Still do not know exactly what happened but grateful that it has …

My apologies. Please ignore my previous inquiry.I was neglecting to click on the individual items in the left pane.

Many thanks. Unfortunately our university library does not support Zotero but the idea of a custom webinar might be an option. We will think further. With appreciation for your quick responses.

Hello again Adam, Yay! Thank you so much. Yes I have found the PDF setting and changed to 'Preview in Firefox' and it now works. Grateful thanks. It is wonderful to get such prompt assistance.
-
Thankyou Adam. I now seem to be in the correct place. Under "Content Type' i find listed 'Adobe Acrobat Forms Document (Applications/ vnd.adobe.xfdf)" and Adobe Acrobat Forms Document (Applications/ vnd.fdf)". Under 'Action' for both these I find …

Sorry I am not all that technological. Where do I find 'about:preferences#applications' in Firefox? I have opened the 'prferences' tab in Zotero but cannot see 'applications'
-
Many thanks.
-
Thanks I have just found this and it is very helpful. I am assuming from your previous message that the 'added by' column is currently not available on the non-online version of Zotero ie that I access through Firefox on my computer?
-
Back again. Have just tried to implement your suggestion and have had difficulty finding 'Added by' on the online view of the group library. There is view which shows 'Recently added items' with the name of the person who has added them but this se…

Many thanks Adam.
-
Many thanks again. Very helpful.
-
Many thanks for getting back to me so quickly. That is very helpful to know.
-
Thankyou Dan again for your very prompt and helpful clarifications. It is very much appreciated.
-
Hello Dan, Just another point of clarification. I was imagining that two separate group libraries would be an advantage to new people joining our group library ie having to wait while all existing material on Zotero synched with their home computer.…
-
Hello Dan, Thankyou for clarifying this. It is very helpful. Karen
-
Thankyou Dan. I have restarted Zotero/Firefox as suggested. The synching button is still going around. It initially indicated progress of 7% but is now (2hrs later) indicating that last synch was 2 mins ago and Progress 1%, Downloads none. Uploads 0…

When last saving our Zotero library it provided the info that we had 4,387 items using 8.95 GB. We are a team of five historians using Zotero to share source material so almost every parent item has a child item attachment. Many of these PDF attachm…
