Basically a full Zotero item with an attached file does everything a standalone file does, and lots more besides e.g: Bibliographic metadata and citation support Tagging Attaching multiple notes/files to the same item Relating different items using…

+1 for color coding (preferably "tag colors" as in thunderbird). I mentioned this on another thread but I thought I would repeat it here so everything about this is in one place.
-
The button has been (deliberately) removed, as it is now redundant with the "create new item from current page" button (double click on a web page item now opens the web page in the browser - just as would happen for a "link item"). N.B. to just g…
-
+1 for this. A "single record view" such as that proposed above would be very useful for extensive literature searches. I feel (that for me at least) it would promote a more efficient workflow in which each item gets filed, tagged and possibly comm…
-
P.S. Looking at it again you could probably do this with normal wildcards, which are simpler than regular expressions. A very useful guide (mentioned on the thread referenced above) can be found at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.…

I checked with my own library and some pdfs were found by a search for *.pdf in the Vista search box, but the majority weren't. I then disabled use of the index (For Vista: "search tools" in the toolbar, search options, check "Don't use the index w…

bianchic - are you using Zotero 2.0 beta? If you are, you can retrieve the metadata for all your PDFs and get not just author's names but full bibliographic information automatically from Google Scholar (I assume your PDFs are published papers/artic…

Reading the original post I thought I would give a rundown of how I organise my library, which works well for me: First of all I have recursive collections enabled, which shows all items in any subcollections when viewing a collection. I never ad…
-
alternatively there was talk about a feature that finds "orphaned" items that are in no collection apart from "my library" - that should do the job, too, right? Has this been implemented? As an workaround for now you could add new items to an "unsor…
-
I assume that the parens are either in the text (written with the word processor, outside of Zotero) or in the prefix/suffix fields to a Zotero cite. In the former case, this behavior would be extremely difficult to support, and almost certainly nev…

Thanks for the reply, tag colors sounds great, as does the use of favicons.

@ Dan Stillman Your comment about storing bookmarks together with thematic sources is an interesting one, but I think you could easily maintain that distinction while using web page items with a dedicated subcollection or tag for "bookmarks". It mi…

@CB - Thanks for the tip. Just to clarify, the tags that I need to get rid of are mostly not automatically added tags - I believe they came over with some items I imported from Connotea. Also there are a lot of tags I added when I was experimenting…

Edit conflict with noksagt - what i've said still applies to my situation though (although might be different in literature as noksagt is saying - I am a science student). @ bdarcus I agree - priority tags are probably a better way to do this, I h…
-
@bdarcus I can think of at least one good (for me at least) reason to be able to manually order lists - importance to the reader. I am an undergraduate student and I need to do a lot of background reading. I gather all my references for a topic (…

Hello jasonjjay I think you are just a victim of unfortunate timing, retrieving PDF metadata happens to be broken in the current 2.0 build, see the known issues, but it has been fixed in the trunk and a new build with this fixed should be out very …
-
Hello dporter - to do this manually: 1) Create a new item from the current page using the button. 2) Either right click on the new item and select "attach snapshot of currrent page", or click on the attachements tab in the right hand pane when the…
-
Thanks Dan, that sorts the problem for me.
-
Sorry - edit conflict yet again - with reference to Dan's answer, is it possible to drag a pdf in from the web, rather than just from a local file? Thanks for the info Dan. I agree with you about the ultimate goal of the interface - and that these…
-
Sorry - edit conflict, I started writing this before Dan's reply was posted. The add snapshot of current page button, as well as the add link to current page are missing for me as well. I can see why this might be intentional, as it makes the organ…
-
Thanks, well done for 2.0 by the way - she looks to be a beauty.
-
Works for me now - would you like those of us who don't need to sync at the moment to disable automatic syncing in order to take some pressure off the server as people switch over to 2.0?
-
I am getting errors syncing since the upgrade as well - personally I am going to leave it for at least a couple of days, to let the devs iron out any glitches in the Scratch that - started working as I was typing. Three cheers for the Zotero devs …

I'm going to declare this one sorted out I didn't realise quite how trivial it is (in terms of extra mouse clicks) to import from a dedicated folder, which i periodically delete the contents of - I guess I should try things before posting here.
