edit: the individual entries have buttons that allow you google scholar searches - using that and the google scholar translator will give you pretty good results. Another good way to do this if you are using Zotero 2.0b is to drag the PDF link butto…

I saw this feature mentioned somewhere else on the forums, I'll post a link if I find it again. Found it: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/700/equivalence-of-collections-and-tags/#Item_12 The post is rather long so I've extracted the section r…

You couldn't share attachments publicly even if you wanted to, see this post. The names, URLs, creation date and other details about the attachments might be visible (I don't want to make my library public, so I can't check myself), but the attachme…

Which version of Zotero and Firefox are you using, on which operating system? I can save items fine from the URL you provide (Zotero 2.0b7.6, Firefox 3.5.6, Windows Vista SP2). If you are using Zotero 2.0b, as a workaround for now, you can copy th…

I'm a bit snowed under ATM (both literally, and with work, as it happens), but when I get a chance I'll see if I can replicate the behaviour in a fresh firefox profile.

FYI, PDF X-change viewer has a free version, with very usable and quite extensive annotation capabilities, and no watermark added. Its one limitation with Zotero is that comments are not currently indexed, so are not searchable. P.S. I'm not affili…

Hmm... When I try this (with any PDF, not just this one, and not just one's with obscured URLs) I get a webpage item, not a standalone PDF. In this case it has a title of "get.php (application/pdf Object)". To use retrieve metadata I then have to s…

a recursive search option might be a possibility. Just an idea, but couldn't this be more powerfully and intuitively handled by allowing the selection of multiple collections at once? I'm thinking something along the lines of Ctrl+click (or OSX equ…

However it does not work when I add citations from sciencedirect I presume by this you mean that automatic tags are still added to items from scienceirect but not to those from other sites? This behaviour doesn't occur when I use Zotero with scienc…

Just throwing ideas around, but how about a series of example workflows for migrating from various citation management systems, collecting new references, then writing a document/paper. Something like: If you currently use 3x5 cards start here. (t…

The only solution for now is to create a saved search for items not in each collection... A little difficult if you have 129 collections (I just counted), so could I add a gentle +1 for the fix on the basis that there isn't a viable workaround for …

When doing 'drag and drop', I can only transfer ONE file at a time, which is too slow if I wanted to transfer hundreds of files. A relevant comment on this from another thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/10354/export-as-folder-full-of-pdfs…

Just on the off-chance (pretty unlikely that it applies in this case, but it is worth a shot), do you have any backed up files named something similar to zotero.sqlite.bak. These are "automatic backups" Zotero makes when closing firefox or during up…

Are you by any chance sorting your library by the "+" column (which lists the number of notes and attachments a particular item has)? To get the behaviour you want you should be able to click the "creator" column title to sort alphabetically (click …

I presume you mean emacs, I doubt the Equitable Child Maintenance & Access Society has the facilities to validate CSL, even with an extension. ;)

Edit: The conversation went on without me while I was typing - this is a reply to the first post in this thread. I'm afraid I can't help you with the specifics of how this should be cited (not my field, so I have no idea of the accepted conventions…

does creating an error report mean going gear -> Preferences -> Advanced tab, then enabling Debug Output Logging, then clicking Submit to Zotero Server? Thanks. No, logging debug output is a different thing from generating an error report (loo…

Thanks! Glad I could help :) This feature should be better documented IMO (I was using Zotero for over a year before I found out about it too). I'll have a look through the documentation tomorrow and write something about it in the appropriate pla…

I feel then for renaming a pdf, I should follow the long cut. First, save it to my Desktop. Rename it. Then store in Zotero. No need - you can rename a pdf (or any other attachment) in Zotero by selecting the pdf, then clicking on the title in the …

On the first page, under the heading "Zotero," the second line down, there are displayed four icons. I've looked for definitions or actions associated with these icons, but can't find any. These icons correspond, with the exception of the yellow fol…

Also, if Zotero's WebDAV works on my computers, I would use it with my university's Sakai system. Sakai lets a user create their own workspace containing a Resources folder that's accessible through WebDAV. This seems the easiest way for me to manag…

http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/222/sidebar/ To summarise :- won't happen till after 2.0 final at least, but there are long term plans to abstract the Zotero interface, which will allow positioning pretty much anywhere you like. I don't think r…

How would zotero know, how an edited citation should look? Unless Zotero allowed editing the semantics of individual citations. For example I also often have to remove brackets from citations like (reviewed in 15). This could be edited from ([citati…

Edit: Adam beat me to it - I should really remember to reload my pages if I open up a dozen forum posts and then leave my computer for an hour. The bit about MyDrive.ch might still be relevant though. It's not exactly what you request (which AFAIK …

The link you provided adds successfully as a journal article for me (zotero 2.0b7.2, firefox 3.5.3 - Windows Vista), although the quality of the scraped data is not great - e.g. nothing gets put in the issue field, the issue number is put into the d…

You might consider this as a feature request /or rather: recommendation/ (to update the list in such a case); or as a minor non-obstrusive bug — as you wish. Just to be clear, I'm not a developer, nor am I affiliated with Zotero - so I'll leave that…

Whenever a tag is removed from ALL library items, it still shows up (greyed out, showing no document has it in the current selection — which is in this case all items) in the tags list. Have you emptied your trash? (bottom of the collection list - r…

All the troubleshooting steps anyone without more specific information would be able to suggest are detailed in the link Adam has given above. As Adam says, make sure you follow all the steps there. If you have already tried all the steps and they …

Apologies, I failed to read the title of your post, so I got the wrong end of the stick somewhat. The ticket I linked to above will address your feature request once implemented. P.S. Could I take this opportunity to bump this ticket - I'm sure I h…
