@dstillman got it, thanks. As you probably know, after one selects a library one can long-tap on "all items" and there is a "download attachments" option, which seems like it should download all attachments for all items in the library. However, co…
-
Oy, silly mistake by me. ar5iv is latex-to-HTML, not PDF-to-HTML. So the only realistic option would be just fetching HTML versions from repositories like arXiv for which papers are known to have pre-made HTML version. That would still be very us…

Very glad to see this implemented with the exit from beta. Thank you. Fwiw, discovery of this ability by the user is nearly impossible. I spent 5 minutes rooting around in the settings very confused why there was no "download all attachments" o…

Ahh, good thought. I just checked by making a couple test comments. As you suspected, the smaller ones are MacOS and the larger ones are iOS. Is this purposeful?
-
(Note that I am not talking about the "mini" sticky-note icons that are used to indicate that a piece of highlighted test has a comment attached. I am talking about the two distinct sizes of stand-alone comments.)

tcngrahan, there is now no reason to use PaperShip. Zotero iOS Beta now has (to my knowledge) all of its features plus several more, and is significantly more reliable. PaperShip is abandoned, and Zotero iOS Beta is soon going to move out of beta. …

Thanks you for implementing this and for updating this thread!
-
Sorry for not following up on this sooner. For what it's worth, I haven't noticed this happening for at least a month, so it's likely that the issue was resolved in one of the updates.
-
Indeed, in some sense it's not even really a tab, since it's can't be dragged or closed
-
Ahh, ok. I didn't realize the Ctrl-C command would work there. Thanks. > The problem with making the comment text selectable directly is that the annotation itself has to be draggable, and making the text selectable would prevent you from being…

Thank you!
-
Thanks! Any chance of getting a list of recently opened items?
-
I also would not mind having to re-download everything after the App Store version is released.
-
Thanks for the reply, and sorry for being unclear. I had been using Zotero on macOS desktop and Papership on iPad. Some of the PDF annotations I have made locally with Papership on the iPad (and can still see/edit) are failing to sync to my Zotero …
-
Trenapaulus, Papership sync issues persist and are unlikely to be fixed any time soon. The Zotero iOS app is now out as a beta (invite-only, but you can request an invite on the website), and I can confirm the sync is reliable, although the annotat…
-
Note that Papership was in fact updated in 2019, but this didn't fix the sync issue. Sync is still very unreliable. The Zotero iOS app is out an an invite beta (you can request an invite on the website), and I can confirm the sync is reliable, alt…

I'd like to reiterate Driftless's last comment: I would love an option in Zotero to make the default behavior saving webpages as PDFs rather than (or in addition to) HTML, but this is not the highest priority and I'm already grateful for the useful …
-
Tried this again today with same procedure and the error didn’t occur. Item added successfully. Not sure what the difference is, but this can be considered resolved. (I will re-open if it happens again.) Note: this was in Chrome on iPad.
-
Just to be clear, I have already decided for my personal situation that I won't be using .ltb files, so please don't count my interest as a reason for anyone to work on this. I was considering it, and I started this thread just to check how difficu…
-
From the amsrefs documentation: > In particular, [amsrefs] has been carefully designed to encourage the preservation of structured markup of the bibliography throughout the entire lifetime of a document from rough draft to final archival vers…
-
Thanks qqbb. The chief advantage of using the .ltb amsrefs format is that all the bibliographic information is preserved with high fidelity. The encoding of the .bib BibTex format is "lossy". So it wouldn't help much to encode to .bib and then con…
-
Got it, makes sense. Thanks very much for looking into it.
-
The amsrefs documentation gives some (not overwhelming) motivation for preferring the ltb format.
-
My personal answers: (1) Optimally, I would want the PDF updated if I had *not* yet added any comments to it (i.e., if it was just the raw PDF from the arXiv), but I would keep the old PDF if it *did* have comments on it. However, this is a weak p…
-
Thanks for your quick response. Obviously I'd love to eventually have a more elegant solution than re-downloading several GBs of PDFs, but I understand this is not too big a burden (it doesn't require user attention) and there are more pressing fea…
-
Is this still the recommended strategy? I would like to remove the local copies of PDFs for one library but not another. That means I can't just delete the "Storage" folder on my hard drive, since it would delete local copies of PDFs from all libr…
-
What is the very, very rough timeframe for the Zotero iOS app to be released? Very much looking forward!
-
Got it, thanks very much.
-
I'm curious what the blocker is? Just additional complexity?
-
Is it still the case that there is no automated way to update preprints (like from the arXiv) that have been published and acquired a DOI after being added to Zotero? It's too bad, because most preprint servers have good machine-readable metadata f…
