Something like this might work: http://www.telecontinuity.com/images/paper_icon.gif Unfortunately that was just culled from a random website by google image search so it is unlikely to be appropriately licensed, but I'm sure something similar coul…

rgocs - you might also be interested in this thread, which suggests a "quick toggle" for recursive collections. It wouldn't help with your BibTex issue, but it might be at least a partial solution to managing complex collection hierarchies.

One is working with any pdf reader which copies the highlighted text to the comment field of the highlight (as far as I know only Adobe Acrobat) PDF X-Change viewer can also do this if you enable it in the preferences. PDF X-Change isn't available f…

Using the annotation functions of an external viewer means your annotations are not accessible to Zotero search I agree this is an important problem but IMO it would be better handled by investigating ways to index the annotations produced by extern…

@holkeboers: Assuming you are running Windows open notepad (under accessories in the start menu program list) then drag the RIS file from endnote onto the open notepad window (or use file -> open in notepad as you prefer). The output for individu…

Thanks for the link to the dev-group thread and for the clarification. In any case, freeing Zotero from dependence on the full browser interface has the side effect of moving in the right direction for easy porting (community based or otherwise) to …

I have just noticed that a standalone version of Zotero is being developed: http://www.zotero.org/blog/standalone-zotero/ The changeset states: (currently OS X only, but should be easy to build on other platforms) Requires installed xulrunner runt…

"the consensus last time this was discussed was..." Sorry, I didn't find this discussion. Now that I come to look for it I can't find it either, and I was so sure this was the case. I really don't know where else I would have found out about this,…

This tab title thing really needs to be fixed. I believe the consensus last time this was discussed was that this was an intrinsic firefox limitation, and could only be solved from their end. I'm not sure whether that was definitively established th…

Edit: adamsmith beat me to it. Smith (2009) blah blah... I've been inserting the citation and then manually changing it to the example above. Assuming you want some citations to like "Interesting fact (Smith, 2009)" and some to look like "Smith (200…

Ok, I use PDF-Xchange as well and I did a quick test - adding an item to a group library, syncing it, adding annotations, syncing again, and checking the online copy. Everything seems to work fine for me i.e. annotations are getting up to the server…
-
What program are you using for annotating your PDFs? I'm asking because some programs save annotations directly to the PDF file (which I would expect to work fine), and some store annotations in a separate file somewhere (which would give unpredic…

"et al" should be in italics The best workaround for this currently is to use search and replace in the word processor just before submitting your manuscript.

Edit: Just realised I'm replying to a 2 year old thread, I'm going to post this anyway because, well, I've typed it now and I guess it might be useful for someone. Same happened to me now - is there an option to undo highlight that I'm not aware of?…

This is a general issue I've noticed with all Highwire 2.0 sites. From a cursory inspection of the error message it looks like Zotero might be looking in the wrong frame on the PDF page (I could be wrong though). The simplest "fix" is probably to re…

http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5292/is-the-server-code-available-for-download/ Short answer: Yes, release of the server code is planned, although it will almost certainly be an unsupported release.

As for moving the Zotero items on the ribbon, I don't think that is possible in Word 2007 Actually, it is possible - but only if you are willing to dig quite deep into the "raw" UI XML (which, for the few advantages is gains I am not, except perhaps…

What would better integration be? IDK whether this is possible, but it would be nice to put the Zotero ribbon element in the "references" tab, rather than the "add-ons" tab. I would doubt this would create a space problem, as the references tab is o…
-
I don't know about development plans but you can get better integration yourself by adding the Zotero icons to the quick access toolbar (just right click on the zotero ribbon element and click "add to quick access toolbar"). Alternatively you can de…

Ok, that's fine - was just wondering if you were using a footnote style (as I would be a bit out of my depth with those), but it's author-date, which I know more about. Glad to hear your getting the hang of it - like I say, use insert citation for …
-
This is a known problem. See here. There are some possible workarounds though. If you don't mind about PDFs you can use the "export citations" button on the sciencedirect site - if you export in RIS format Zotero should automatically intercept the e…

So, if I have this right you are: Inserting a citation using the insert citation button. Inserting a bibliography using the insert bibliography button, Deleting the citation Inserting a second citation Inserting a second bibliography Two things he…

Ah - it may be that the spec sheet I'm looking at is out of date. That's a shame - it seems such a powerful device to be stuck running just a mobile OS.

(smaller and lighter) laptops/tablets with full OS would have e-reader screens Ubuntu is listed on the spec sheet for the notion ink adam, as well as android and chromium; by all accounts it will ship with firefox (I assume they mean full firefox r…

But is there a reason that the various item operations can't be done without creating a saved search? I can't imagine why they couldn't be, IMO it is likely that the developers have considered coding this a low priority given that there is a fairly…

While it might seem counter-intuitive, it is actually almost as quick as using the advanced search button (one extra mouse click) to have a "general purpose" saved search and the use "edit saved search" context menu item to modify this for each sear…

@dennisdd Thank you so much for posting this workaround, a feature like this has been on my wishlist for about a year now and somehow I missed the "subfolders" search option. I have only 4 top level collections, which are very stable, but almost 20…

I not sure about this but it is probably a good idea, potentially a very good idea, to close firefox before you get into editing the zotero database directly. Otherwise you might get database corruption from two programs trying to access the databas…
