I followed the documentation for importing metadata from Papers 3 to Zotero. That worked (although some info is deficient) but what I really need is all my pdfs in Zotero. That could perhaps be done by attaching files via "attach stored copy of fil…

https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/exporting/auto/ and optionally checking "all child collections" in the auto-export. I think you'll find a much improved bib(la)tex experience with Zotero, compared to Mendeley.

I've started it with a larger DB (24k items), and while startup is very slow (23 seconds to get to the schemaupdatepromise resolve, but also 20 seconds to load the citekeys for search), I see no other detrimental effects. I'll make citekey search op…

There's a public API for synced data (https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/web_api/v3/start), there's the network protocol that LibreOffice uses to talk to the Zotero app (https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/libreoffice_plugin_wire_protoc…

I don't regularly use Windows, but I've done an install just now, and BBT doesn't seem to be interfering with anything; but this is an almost empty library. I really need to get either a support log or a copy of the profile to get to the bottom of t…
-
I really want to fix this. Can I get a copy of your profile when BBT is installed?
-
Can you set aside a copy of your profile before you do that?
-
It's not automatic.
-
BBT 5.4.8 will import @webpage entries.
-
Libreoffice works
-
Alright, thanks.
-
I still don't understand what I should do to prevent that, sorry, but perhaps I'm asking the wrong question, as I actually just want to know: should BBT doing more cleanup on uninstall, and if so, what should it do? I assume cleanse a config propert…
-
I can't see where that undefined happens as the screenshot has been removed.
-
So what was the culprit? The screenshot is gone. BBT tries to do pre-uninstall cleanup.
-
Note that unlike my folder importer linked to earlier, this will not cause Zotero to do metadata lookup. What's in the RIS is what you get.
-
No worries. Download the script from https://gist.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/722d8c2308f93d3637f2576fcfc6d41b/raw/8c283aaecdb474c3b05ceb8cb8dd7aa61b472918/ris.py (changed from before) and save it somewhere that's easy for you to remember. You…

Very welcome.

(if it's a one-time thing and you're on windows, I can transform the output of a dir /a-d /b /s for you, but that's really for a one-shot)
-
It depends a bit on what operating system you use -- if I know that I can give you detailed instructions.
-
If you're on a mac, the python script will just work, if you're on windows, I can take a stab at converting it to vbscript.
-
Endnote maybe automatically visually nest smart groups? I could see how that would be useful.
-
Ask and you shall receive. Still within scope, as the potential of new people learning about Larnell Lewis is eminently helpful. I'll stop now.
-
BBT on its default settings will assure that your citekeys remain unique within one library/group, but there's two ways you can make non-unique keys: you pin two or more keys to the same value, or you set conflict resolution to "kept", in which case…
-
I'll have to contact my friends inside google and relay my dissatisfaction that "snarky unhelpful reply" does not give me anything I can just paste here that would prove my immense wit; I must admit, shamefully, that I can only do snarky replies whe…
-
That's right. It needs to be done manually or with Zotfile - BBT simply generates the unique identifier which then becomes the base filename for electronic files; the uniqueness is important to prevent name collisions and possible file overwrites. e…
-
BBT doesn't do file renames -- Zotfile does file renames, but it can be configured to use the BBT-generated citation key in the rename.
-
(but if it's really important for you to receive those, I can supply snarky unhelpful replies)
-
I must admit I don't know how hard it is to edit EndNote styles, but from googling around it looks like adding an extra field is pretty simple, and adding it to a custom CSL style is certainly not as intuitive.
-
Something like this should mostly do it: https://gist.github.com/c8d125e083d2a1222c3e73fd0639205c
