• I will reverse the logic and search for any field that contains letters. Even if I just search for the five vowels, that should get almost everything.

• I don't actually see the ability to add the ISBN column in the center pane, even under the "More Columns" submenu. Is this because I'm running the Mac version of the standalone? I am running the most recent update (just checked). I'd prefer not…

• I see what you mean. I have tested changing a couple of these and it does seem to remove them from the Duplicate finder. Something must have happened during import, because looking at more records, the SN is sometimes the Series, but sometimes …

• P.S. I'm not sure why that "///" appears after the date in the first record. It doesn't appear in Zotero.

• Thanks very much for your continued efforts! The syncing now does work to my desktop computer (which had not been syncing before), but it has stopped working for my notebook (which had been working before). I have tried emptying the trash locally on…
