From the looks of it this is (at least partially) fallout damage -- multiple non-BBT translators are missing, it looks like that makes Zotero.Translators.reinit() fail (which BBT calls), which makes BBT fail its startup, and it all goes south from t…
-
From the looks of it, references contains formatted bibliographies, I assume a list of papers cited by the article in question. I first assumed it would be citekeys. This could perhaps be imported as a note, I don't see much value in round-tripping …
-
BBT keeps unmapped bibtex fields in the extra field and will re-export them.
-
If you open an issue on https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/issues, I think I have a solution.
-
Doesn't look like it. Shame.
-
Is there anything in the bibtex file that would identify it as being generated by Mendeley?
-
That would actually be helpful, specifically if the mess could be constrained to a one- or two-entry bibtex file, plus the attachment file. Preferably zipped and attached to an issue on github.
-
I'll see whether it's possible to do a "mendeley mode" without polluting my parser too much.
-
For the URL field, turn on https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/installation/preferences/hidden-preferences/#suppressnocase . That's going to be on by default in the next release anyhow. For the problem with the extra braces I'll need an actual…
-
Importing shouldn't pose any problem for BBT, but in order to trigger the Mendeley-compatible behavior (which, to reiterate, is against spec, but I can envision a reason for that compromise) in BBT you either have to rename the file field to files o…
-
Looking at that blog post, I don't know how useful it would be to have this in a plugin. If the interest is aggregate data, a plugin would get you really low (and potentially biased) coverage, because you'd only get data from people who a) knew abou…
-
Go into the BBT preferences and delete the auto-export you no longer want there.
-
The open blue dots are on the PC desktop? Or also on the Macbook?
-
Ah, that one. That should only trigger when the code of translators has actually changed, not at every BBT upgrade, but I'm perfectly fine adding an "Don't ask again" button there. edit: but I'd still prefer it if @moorepants (or someone else) woul…
-
BBT doesn't have a popup to recommend upgrades though. Do you recall any of the text it showed, even if only roughly?
-
Oh if it's a BBT popup we can talk about disabling that, but then in a github issue please. I come to these forums irregularly, and my support workflow is built around github, not the forum.
-
Don't hesitate to call in again if it reappears
-
(the multiple times a day is almost always because new translations have been offered. there have been cases of emergency fixes. but yeah, I put out a new release pretty much for every change that I intend to keep and passes my tests)
-
That would be it by and large. If it's easier for you to have them exported from FMPro as separate files that's fine, python can pull those together, but if it's in one, that's convenient.
-
I'm saying RIS only because it seems to me you don't have very complex data RIS is one of the simpler Zotero import formats to generate.
-
The python script would yield a .ris file, yes. How much conversion needs to be done depends on what's in the input files -- we could speculate about what it would do, but if I have an input file with separate fields, I can just tell you.
-
RIS expects the headers to be in the first column -- it's probably possible to do in Excel (and you'd export to plain text in that case), but I certainly couldn't do it in excel.
-
That's where I come in. I might be able to put together a python script that does that transformation. If the data you need can be put in Tab-separated or commaseparated values format, that means you can run it without doing anything complicated, be…
-
Sorry, I meant FMpro > (whatever structured format has the data you want transferred, which may be xlsx) > RIS > Zotero. If you don't need to put anystyle in there, so much the better, although anystyle is pretty good.
-
If you have separated fields, easiest would probably be FMPro > RIS > Zotero
-
I'm not sure if it's documented anywhere, but you can just look at the fields that are shown in Zotero for the item type you want. Any field you see there is available by the name shown there. Here's the list of fields I use, which I think is compre…
-
Yeah that xlsx is all formatted bibliography items. If that's all that's available to you, you have quite a bit of work ahead of you, regardless of which reference manager you end up using. I can give it a go running it through the anystyle tools i…
-
That CSV has just 4 columns (without headers), the first of which is a formatted bibliography item. Parsing that out is significant work, you could use one of the options at the bottom of https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_formatted_bibliog…
-
It's easier to judge if I have the actual data in hand. Does https://campsoftware.com/blog/index_files/Export-FileMaker-Tables-to-JSON.php do anything for you? Looking around I don't see any free (or cheap, even) options to convert filemaker pro da…
-
I'm thinking something can be done. But also it's fairly likely you'll have to do manual cleanup (either before import or after) to get the full results you want. The DB looks like it has some fields that are only loosely structured.
