@dstillman: Re: "There might be a bug there that causes that to sometimes not happen, but we haven't reproduced that, and that doesn't sound like what you're describing anyway." The bug is that separate Zotero profiles aren't created. That has been …

@Tim20. I have already answered these topics, as have many others. The reproduction steps don't work, and Firefox should have nothing to do with this, as its Zotero that I'm installing.
-
@dstillman: ..BTW, no need to reply. I think we have both said it all. Thanks again. Re: "understanding of ---command-line flags, ( I am fully aware of them.) ---the Firefox profile system, (not aware of these) ---custom data directory locations, (u…

Thanks to tim820 and dstillman for your replies. @tim820: Re: "you should *not* generally see the data from your original library in the new profile." That's exactly the point. I DO see the data from the default profile even though I tried to creat…
-
@dstillman: If creating multiple profiles is so advanced a process, can the developers not provide some functionality that automates it? This capability has been requested for some time now.

Good answer. Since I want to know what's internal, I'll look for other software that can help. Thanks for your help. Don't let that little COVID thing getchya. :).

[Re: I'm not sure what you're asking then. If you don't believe that what we're saying is correct, the only way you'll get more "proof" is by looking at the source code, which you're obviously welcome to do.] What is to believe? You haven't answered…

I assume you are correct, but that's why I want to determine what metadata is in the file itself. I can't know that if Zotero doesn't display what's internal - f it always goes to the web to get the metadata for that PDF. I have been trying to point…
-
I'll take you at your words. But ZabRef and Docear can write XMP data into PDF files; I have done it - I think. That's what I am trying to prove. But that begs the question: Isn't the XMP data the same as what is often called metadata; not the sam…

OK. Let me provide some more detail so we can skip the terminology barrier. I link a PDF to a library. Zotero first displays, in the rightmost pane, a 'Note' frame. containg the title, filename, #pages, modified date, Indexed indicator, and Realted…

This works. Thank you. The error message about an item being top-level is solved by making the file subordinate to some other top level item - i.e. making it not top-level.
-
Ah, I see. So using the desktop will be fine as long as the reference is already in Zotero.
-
Ahh, OK, I understand. Is it possible to place the Zotero data/library on a flash drive and simply install the desktop on the several computers I have here?
-
Toggling back and forward is only an issue if I need to cut and paste. A quick look at the plug-in info implies that its just a click. It may be possible to just position two windows beside each other. The example shows a desktop version; I'll try i…

To aurimus and Dan Stillman OK, I read the documentation on collections. Thanks, Dan, for link to it. It explains what I was wondering about. I just haven't used Zotero very much.
-
To aurimas: I have no real problem with seeing them in two locations. I just thought that converting from standalone to Firefox based might have duplicated the entries. under My Library. So all under My Library are the real items and those un…
-
OK, so the items in My Library must have been there in the stand-alone version. Somehow I didn't remember putting them there. Thanks.
