  • I second the request to add a "suppress year" button on the Zotero citation module. Often supervisors or editors require the (p. 123) syntax in APA citations. And during editing of content, the name (year) opener of a paragraph may become disassocia…
    in Option of "suppress year" possible ? Comment by tare2 December 9, 2020
  • I put that long file enable flag to 1 in the registry and rebooted. Enable Win32 long paths = 1 But the behaviour did not change in Zotero. The same bug happens when my directory path is too long. So is Zotero not Long Path aware itself?

  • Ok, yea, perhaps I just need to change that registry entry or restructure my file system. The latter I won't do as it would likely at this time break a heck of a lot of my work badly... So the registry entry change will the solution for me.

  • More and it gets worse: If you look at the Zotero library in Zotero a PDF may be called "Full Text.pdf" but when you then go and do a "show file" it goes to the zotero storage folder and there is a long file name already that is the same that zotero…

  • So what do I do now: In Zotero there is no built in UI to rename a PDF manually. Rename from Meta Data is all you can do... Dang. Can I do a show file in folder, and then manually rename the file there in Windows without breaking the link? What a p…

  • And a registry hack would not be a great idea if I share my RIS with other people as their system would not work.... So better to limit the PDF file name lengths...

  • Ah yes. 260... So what happend is that I asked Zotero to name my PDFs based on the Meta data. That was the last action I did before these issues arrose. This resulted in some long file names made by Zotero for some of the PDFs which prior to that ha…

  • The limit is 10 characters for your RIS export file name: "0123456789" works but "01234567890A" and anything beyond is failing all the time. So you have a 10 character limit issue that you need to look for in your code. Unless, and that's a possibi…

  • I have something, maybe: The length of the name I give to the RIS export! When I use names such as: "TEST RIS 8" (10 characters) it works. When I use longer names such as: "STEM and CCE RIS 8" (18 characters) it fails. Just an idea. I just tried t…

  • Was there anything consistend that you saw in the bug report?

  • Hmm, na. I have only MSFT security software running that could interfere with security. I have no 3rd party virus checker etc. Its a standalone laptop with a 500 GB SSD, Windows 10. Has been reliable.

  • I will need to leave it for now. I hope you have enough data to work out what happened. If you need more, leave a message. I can get back to it in an hour or so.

  • And another one. D1903213009 This time my RIS export works again and again, with DEBUG enabled and without doing my workaround. I did not need to copy the items to a new folder this time. Bizarre indeed...

  • Hmmm... now I ran my workaround again, this time without debug enabled, and it worked... So to recap: My workaround is to make a new collection, copy the items to the new collection. Then export that new collection. That works, IF Debug is not ena…
