Ah, that's unfortunate. 1. Why not disable these additional features in bookmarks mode? Why would users continue to choose to use that mode, when it is known to have bugs or sometimes become corrupted? If it's just backwards compatibility, I don't …

Thanks for working on it! I've looked over the discussion there, and I'm hesitant to jump into this again, but in case it is helpful here are some brief thoughts. I've been testing this approach for a while (with my own hacked together Word macro t…

Disabling updating does help (minutes vs. hours to insert a citation), but by 300 pages and a few hundred citations it will be slow anyway, so working in a second document will be much faster. I haven't had many problems writing a normal length pape…

Work in another document, copy and paste into the main document. I have the same setup, and this works well. When you're done and ready to generate the final document, you'll need to refresh the main document, and that may take several hours. But y…

I don't know if there's an option to do this directly, but here's an alternative, assuming you can't just search the author's name in Word's search normally: Select All* and right click on a citation field, "Toggle Field Codes".** All of the Zotero…

Is it also backwards compatible so you can switch back without issue? (I've thought about trying Juris-M too.)
-
CSL does not currently allow conditionals/checking for particular date parts, only the date as a whole. The same applies when you would want to show/repeat the full date at the end of a manuscript or presentation (for example) but only if more than …

Include the Report ID here, so someone can help.

Zotero is great for many things, but it only can create one bibliography per document. But I really think this will be helpful to you in the end. Even if you want a single bibliography, it's best to write each chapter in a separate document to avoid…
-
You can create separate documents in Word and combine them at the end. (There is no way to do this with Zotero in a single document.) This will be better anyway, because when writing a long document with many Zotero citations, Word will slow down, …
-
That's true, and you could certainly use it to generate the citations on the way. But my absolutely favorite feature of Zotero is automatically generating the bibliography to make sure it's synchronized to what's cited in the paper. For that reason…
-
Quick Copy would make sense if you're giving full citations on each slide (e.g., footnotes or similar). Personally when using author-date styles, I just write them out by hand[1], and then spend around 5 minutes after the slides are done[2] just du…

1. The "duplicates" list in Zotero is currently limited, although some options are planned for future development. See for example: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/36960/mark-as-non-duplicate There is currently nothing you can do about this, ju…

There is a real difference between the punctuation of Dutch, and the 'Okina letter of Hawaiian. (Still, by convention they might be treated as part of sorting or not.) The same issue occurs with "decorated" ascii characters (the Swedish Å is sorted …
-
"Silent" ongoing operations in Zotero are confusing. Another case is when updating/refreshing a bibliography in Word (especially if updates are disabled), there's no way to know whether these processes are still going. A progress bar would be nice, …
-
We cite the creator of the work we are citing, as well as information to locate it. For a book chapter, the author is the creator, and then we also cite the editor(s) to know how to locate the book. In general, you do not need to cite the editor o…
-
Right. I'm aware of the issue, I just wasn't sure about how general the convention was for ignoring that character while sorting transliterated names, but what you wrote makes sense. I'm not sure about the other characters: they're basically punctua…
-
That's a complicated issue, but I'd say a somewhat separate one. That is, it's reasonable to treat the same name as the same name, even if sometimes only an initial and others written out in the publication. But if a name is changed by marriage, as…
-
That sounds convincing enough to me.
-
What about just switching the "date" column for the "year" column? Cleaning up individual fields is another issue, but I think it must be done manually at this point. (For example, see: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/321504#Comment_32…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayin This is a real letter in Arabic, and should arguably be distinguished from the glottal stop found before words 'starting with' a vowel. From what I understand of how Zotero works, there is no way to specify anythi…

Hm, this behavior is a little odd on a Mac. There are four modifier keys I tried. Two select multiple items, don't work for this: 1. Cmd (Apple key): selects individually, adding to current selection 2. Shift: selects a range Two do select individ…
-
Clicking on duplicate items selects the pair. Using the arrow keys (up and down) will allow you to select one individually. However, if you're removing one anyway, then you could just merge them together (using the data from the good one).
-
@dstillman correct. And I can't claim this needs to be a priority to fix, but it seems very unlikely to me that users would want to keep the book section title as book title more often than keeping the book title as book title. The only situation w…
-
@adamsmith that sounds exactly right to me. It's inconsistent, but it comes up rarely enough I don't mind/object, just seems quirky.
-
I've wondered the exact same thing. Book > Book Section (common operation, if you add by ISBN then manually edit): The "Title" becomes the "Book Title" (which is usually correct and helpful) But if you switch it back: Book Section > Book (le…

I can't imagine this is related to Zotero. Just be aware that there are many types of fake "security" or "cleaning" programs for Mac, claiming they will remove viruses, clean up your computer, etc., but actually are malware themselves. Many people u…

In principle, you could create a custom style variant that would treat the locator (page, etc.) value as a time, specifically for the Interview type. Or I think you could also specify one type of locator as if it is 'time'-- say part or something yo…

I'm working with a similar document, the same software, and it's about the same speed. There's a simple solution: 1) turn off automatic updating 2) create a copy of your document (to retain formatting) but delete all contents in this copy; use this…

Specifically when cited together, this seems obvious: (Smith 2005, 2010) Note that the reader would already be looking up 2005 if they were interested in what was cited. I'm specifically talking about only when they are appearing together in one cit…
