Not that I'm discounting these problems, but my 14yo picked up how to use Zotero in about 15-30 minutes for a highschool essay. And she's firmly from the app generation. Hardly ever turns on her PC. I'm with you on the delay between clicking the ico…

I think I've found the problem. A new BBT has just been released. Would still appreciate a confirmation that it solves your import issue.
-
Please do file an issue on the BBT project. We'll get it sorted.

They should import cleanly if you replace the newlines by \par, or double newlines. Single newlines are just spaces in LaTeX/BibTeX, and BBT will import them as such. Zotero RDF will also allow you to import notes respecting. BBT JSON will also imp…

I'm surprised that postscript worked? If that's the whole postscript, I don't know how tex.has.place could ever be true-ish.
-
If you want address you should export as bibtex, not biblatex. Better BibTeX will export address without any postscript. Better BibLaTeX exports it to venue or location. The standard Zotero BibLaTeX exporter also does not export address, the Zotero…

I haven't yet found an instance where hacking around in the BBT translators was necessary. A postscript can usually do what you want, and won't be obliterated by BBT upgrades.

I wasn't involved in the development of either, but if I'd have to guess, the "not reliably unique author-date combinations" was simpler to build, and RTF is a simpler format than ODF to manipulate. Then later Frank and Sebastian sat down to make it…

Rich Text Format and OpenDocument format (RDF is a different, not-related thing).

The copy-paste functionality from https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo/blob/master/docs/USAGE.md may be able to do this.

The pin appears if the line in extra exists. So the windows side still has the pin and the line in extra, the linux side has neither, you have just synced both PCs, and nowhere in this process did you get a conflict resolution popup? I'd report that…
-
Does the pinned key appear in the extra field in one or both of the PCs? Pinned keys are just a line of text in the extra field. The extra field syncs. If the extra field does not sync, that would be a zotero bug. It is possible that you got a syn…
-
That means you haven't synced.

In a technical sense Zotero already does assign both a stable key and a stable number to items; the item key is exposed by BBT, but it is generated by Zotero, and the RTF/ODF scan plugin uses that key. You don't need BBT for this workflow, as you ca…
-
How did you format your answer? Why I can't format my text? Did I miss important instructions again? You can use HTML in your anwer. I used to mark the text I am responding to, and to highlight verbatim text or technical details. In practice I …
-
Just a note, it isn't the "item" as a whole, but the item key. In BBT, item is just shorthand for item(key). I have changed the text below accordingly. If Zotero can't display the item key in one column, it should be displayed by BBT. So, why Zoter…
-
Besides Better Bibtex, can I display item column in Zotero? With BBT it is possible however, as you can have the citation key shown in a column.
-
This is probably the only feature from Endnote I really miss (Endnote as a whole I hate). When writing, I would have Endnote open in one window (often on a second monitor), and Word in another window. When citing, I would just scroll to the referen…
-
What is item in Zotero? It means something to BBT; I meant that you can use item where it says auth.lower + shorttitle(3,3) + year by default, and you will get the item key as the citekey. How did you know item? https://retorque.re/zotero-better…

The DB code shouldn't have to parse those characters at all, unless they're doing query building using string assembly of user input rather than using parameters. I haven't yet come across such code in Zotero. Not saying that what you are seeing is…

A comma isn't more special than the letter a in a filename: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System Allowed characters in filenames: Unicode 9.0 encoded in UTF-8
-
You can use item as your key formula in BBT, which will get you the unique key for the item. That said, this alphanum item key, or the numeric key that Endnote assigns, appear to me a fairly useless citation key. It would have no meaningful connect…
-
You have at some point exported your library and selected "keep updated". Go into the BBT prefs, find the auto-export, and delete it.
-
You're welcome.
-
Wrt the PS: The pin symbol means the citekey is set to a fixed value that does not derive (anymore) from the fields of the item. When you import a bibtex file, those entries will have a citekey, and the assumption is you want that key preserved, so …
-
Import translators are not allowed to set the dateAdded and dateModified fields of the entries being imported, so after the import, you can right-click the imported entries and choose "Better BibTeX -> Copy date-added....". That will set the date…

Select, right click, better bibtex, refresh

I could make a faux field like I do for citationKey that would return the auto-journal-abbreviation. But the code to invoke the journal abbreviator is pretty simple, I could also provide a PR for zotfile. But in either case, jlegewie will have to do…

Right-click the item(s), and select "Refresh" from the Better BibTeX submenu that popped up.
