Congratulations on completing the first draft - I look forward to the new processor, from what I've read about the cases it will be able to handle it sounds like an impressive piece of work. P.S. Thanks to all the Zotero team and contributers for t…

I agree that collections are probably more similar to playlists than folders from the usage (and, I would guess, the programming) perspective. However there is one critical difference, which is that collections are hierarchical (please feel free to …

@ krishmaniac IF the only place the format [number - number] appears in your document is multiple citations and IF you always want to convert these to [number]-[number] you could use a search and replace string (incorporated into a macro if you ne…

At least for your first request kajeling has helpfully written a plugin, zoterename, that does exactly what you request (among other things). http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7327/feature-request-stand-alone-zotero/#Item_8 http://www.tc.umn.edu…

I've just replicated this for books, documents, journal articles (created as new blank items) and webpages generated using "create new item from current page", so it seems to be a genuine bug. I haven't tested items created using a translator. Step…

@ dowens If you are talking in general terms, rather than just about this specific issue see: http://www.zotero.org/getinvolved/

I haven't seen any reference to this being changed in the near future - the behavior for "retrieve metadata" I believe will be adjusted so that is produces empty parents when it can't retrieve the information. There has also been talk of automating …

@ elloyd You may have thought of this already, and I don't suggest it is anything more than a workaround but have you considered creating tags such as: * ** *** **** ***** and using these for rating. Not quite one click, but only one drag onto t…
-
One idea would be to include a way to display the related items in the centre pane (perhaps a small button next to the "add" button in the related tab, as this is currently unused space).
-
No problem - it's the least I can do for a piece of software which has made my life immeasurably easier.
-
If you do end up creating equivalent tags by mistake, you can just periodically merge them by renaming one to the other: right-click on a tag in the tag selector in the bottom left and click Rename and enter an existing tag name. I have added this i…

If you wanted to you could edit the .csl file of the citation style you use to create a new style without URLs for books, if you need a hand post back here and I'm sure someone who knows csl (unlike me) will help you out.
-
Unless you are using the field for something else you could edit the URL field of the book itself (in the "Info" tab in the right hand pane). A double click on the book in the middle pane should then open that URL (unless you have added any snapshot…

Actually thought I better add a health warning to my last post - I can see no reason why you wouldn't be able to do what I proposed, but I don't know the technicalities, and can find no examples of anyone doing this, successfully or otherwise, on th…

Or you could run firefox portable from a usb pen drive on any computer (except those with restrictive security settings) - and sync this just like you would if syncing two computers.
-
Thanks for the link - lots to get my teeth into there (my suggestion can, by comparison, only be described as a kludge).
-
No - without file syncing it behaves as expected (i.e. nothing gets deleted as I am typing).
-
This has been happening to me as well for a while - I have only worked out that it is the auto-syncing that is causing it though. Zotero 2.0b6.4 Firefox 3.5 Windows Vista I saw in another thread that you haven't been able to reproduce this. The on…

+1 for this as a plugin (I often check the number of citations when doing a literature search - gives me some idea as to the relative importance of the articles. It would be nice to be able to do this in my Zotero library as well). I agree with ad…
-
Tag colours, like those in thunderbird, have been mentioned before. There seems to be quite a lot of support for the idea and judging by the response of the dev team to similar suggestions my guess would be that it will probably be implemented at s…

Just a quick check - are you using zotero 2.0 beta? Sync is only included with this version. To check your version go to the gear menu and select "about Zotero". If you are using 2.0, to find the sync settings (plagiarised from adamsmith's answer …

Edit: Apologies, most of what I have said has been covered above - the first link should still be relevant though. I left this thread open in firefox for a few hours and neglected to refresh the page before posting (just shows what an impressively a…

@sfhirsch Go to preferences in the "gear menu" (icon looks like a gear wheel - second from the left in the array of 7 buttons at the top of Zotero). The sync preferences tab should be the second from the left at the top of the resulting Zotero pref…

Edit: Apologies - I had a lapse of memory and confused Wiley Interscience with Highwire (e.g. PNAS). The option in Highwire is called "show PDF in full window". There doesn't appear to be a similar option in Wiley. At least with Wiley Interscience…

AFAIK the Zotero devs have actually been recommending updating to FF3.5 (the RC up until two days ago) to users who have been having problems with Zotero under FF3.0.
-
To check whether the items on the server are intact you can view "My Library" from the website (top left).

I wonder if, in cases where Zotero is forced to choose among multiple options, it might be possible to give the user the opportunity to select the correct option? Just thinking aloud here but does google make it's search scores accessible to program…

@ georgedarroch Would it work for you to use Zotero in full screen mode which hides everything firefox related and effectively creates a "standalone" Zotero window? Alternatively you could use a "distraction free" firefox profile with Zotero, pote…
