rontiveros, I cannot make your solution work. In particular, I am using a style sheet for a conference paper, and every time I do "Zotero Refresh", the indentation reverts from the desired 0.14" (I suspect the style sheet specifies that in mm) to 0…

Aargh, I just found it...not where I expected (in the menu), but in the entry itself (change the "Item Type"). Sorry for the noise...

I would guess that identifying dupes would be hard, too (and the more I thought about it, the harder it seemed). As for the identifiers: why not delete one of the entries, but maintain its identifier as a pointer to the other entry? That is, t…

Computational linguists face a similar problem in duplicate document detection. The documents will not necessarily be exactly the same, but there are statistical methods to detect document similarity. One difference is that documents are likel…

I re-ran all the ones that had hung it before. I got one hang, but couldn't reproduce it. Other than that, smooth sailing. I now have a list of PDFs for which Z couldn't find metadata for any of several reasons: no OCRed text, "could not read…

Thanks, works for the old Blevins paper; I'll test it on the others where it hung. And thanks for pointing out that I had an old version of that paper! I wonder how many of the others that hung were old versions...

Amazing...that works, sort of! By step 2, I'm assuming you mean "delete your google scholar cookies", which you can do in FF by bringing up Tools | Options, clicking on the Privacy tab, clicking on the link "remove individual cookies", typing…

Sorry, I missed that. Yes, it hangs when I try to retrieve the metadata for that PDF by itself. I just emailed the PDF with the error # (1508490536) to support. Thanks!

I have Z v2.0b6.4, and "retrieve metadata" works on some PDFs I have, but it hangs "Retrieving Metadata..." on others. An example of a PDF where it hangs is James Blevins "Word-based Morphology", which can be found through Google Scholar (it's the …

Thanks, I just discovered that! I had been using 1.0-something, or was it 1.1; anyway, it didn't have this feature. I just now upgraded to 2.0, and voila!

I just ran into the issue of upper/lower case when exporting to BibTeX. It appears to me that the biggest issue is that of proper nouns getting lower-cased by various style sheets applied to BibTeX entries. It appears that if a token (~word) has a…

Re conversion of PDF to HTML: I used to hate PDF for its size and bulkiness, but I have to admit now that there are things it does that can't be done (or can't be done well) in HTML. I work a lot with other languages, and some of the foreign script…

This ticket (https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/916) is marked as fixed in v1.0.8, but I get the error msg in the version of the Zotero plugin that I just now downloaded (I'm using Word 2003). So either 1.0.8 isn't shipping yet (it's waiting for a …

Just a suggestion--don't let the perfect get in the way of the good. The original request was to parse a selection as bibtex, and import it. There's a fair amount of work there, I think. While I would love to see this enhanced to (a) automagicall…
