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.
-
What are the on-disk sizes of the better-bibtex files (better-bibtex.sqlite, better-bibtex/*.json) after you close Zotero?
-
This also happens with background export?
-
Then they're just baked into the PDF, there's nothing zotero can do about that.

I'll see what I can do inside BBT, but the author of https://github.com/mb21/Pandoc-Mac-OS-X-Services could perhaps be persuaded to make a workflow service for it.
-
Better BibLaTeX will export 15XX as-is because it is a valid EDTF date.
-
For the record -- @fghinami hasn't confirmed that BBT auto-export was the culprit, just that it was on. @fghimai, I'd appreciate it if you could open an issue on BBTs github project. I'd like to know if BBT plays a role here, and my support infra i…
-
I'd have to see a log. I can't think of anything except for first-time massive exports. I still need Zotero to serialize the items before the background export starts, and those are somewhat slow, but I cache and re-use the results, and I yield ever…
-
auto-exports are strictly background now, have been for a while. Manual exports still offer the choice. It was previously an option because the monkey patch to do background exports was one of the least elegant and I wanted a way for people to get …
-
Yep forgot about that one too -- but joining that issue or even opening a new one is preferable to "+1"ing things here. I'll get to it eventually, but I need to sort out some prep for Z7 first.
-
Please open an issue for this on github, that's how I track requests. I had totally forgotten about this.
-
What I most need is people who can help me spec out the desired behavior, in issues on github, no coding required (although I'll take help if it is offered).

That's what programs like InstallShield are for.
