  • Think so. Trash is empty, and I do not belong to any groups. So no groups (other than myself) are present in the current session. Is it possible that the search string (ContentscovernlReader.dll@BookID=56468&FileNam) is wrong? The actual text i…
  • Just ran into an example of improper scraping, but the item in Zotero had the Add Attachment menu item anyway. To reproduce, go to the Harvard Business Review web site (https://hbr.org/) and search for "Schmenner." Select Roger Schmenner's article …
  • Not getting results. Here's what I did: 1. Set drop-down menu in search box to "All Fields & Tags" 2. Copy and pasted the error message string into the search box 3. The search returns nothing BTW, the copied string is: ContentscovernlReader.d…
  • The impression I had is that the item did have metadata, but I may be wrong. I'll have to wait until this happens again and pay special attention to see what's going on. Some of the services I've been using, including Google Scholar, give a link to…
  • Thanks. I tried to take a shot of the error message window, but the popup to activate Evernote's snapshot facility closes the error message window. So I'll just have to describe it. The part that led me astray is a text string ending with "&Fi…
  • Came across this thread today. Even though the idea is several years old, it's still a good idea. One thing I'd change is Gracile's suggestion: tabs should be of the breakaway sort, so they can be pulled off as a separate window, combined with othe…
  • After installing Z5, Tools > Add-ons > Extensions opens the Add-ons Manager, which lists the installed add-ons and distinguishes those that are compatible with Z5 from those that are not. In my case, these six were not: * ZotFile (see below …
  • Tsau017, if you're using Scrivener for final output in LaTeX, you should think about what kind of material you'll be writing. LaTeX is especially good with math and equations, and this may be why you want to use it. But Scrivener is not good at all …
  • This is the first of two comments because they're really separate issues. Updated Z4 -> Z5 last night on one of my computers. Most things went smoothly. But this morning when I started up Z5 I'm getting an error message: "This Zotero database re…
  • Gurdas, when you say "TAKE A FULL BACKUP," do you mean of the computer or of the Zotero database? I have Time Machine running, so the computer is being backed up regularly. But I'm not sure how to backup the Zotero database. Does this only involve …
  • This is probably good news. The GitHub page for zotero-scholar-citations mentions Zotero 5 and has activity as recently as 11 days ago. The page for zotero-better-bibtex also mentions version 5, albeit in an obviously informational way, and has acti…
  • First a comment, then a question. Comment. I've been using the standalone version for years and very much prefer it to the FF version. Besides being able to choose between browsers, it lets me view my entire Zotero library on one screen and compose…
  • In particular, has anyone used Zotfile [http://zotfile.com/] or LyZ [https://github.com/willsALMANJ/lyz] with Zotero 5.x? If so, what was your experience?
  • Also look into Zotfile: http://zotfile.com/. If you can attach your server via WebDAV, Zotfile can really improve your workflow. I use it to access a library on a NAS drive from multiple computers all the time.
  • I was aware of Zotero's ability to enter an editor as creator, but the citation was hanging me up. I haven't seen where the CMS addresses this explicitly, but even if it's ambiguous (as it often is about many things), just omitting "ed." seems like …
  • Thanks! I came across this thread because I had searched for "Zotero Rstudio." Shortly after leaving my comment, I came across a plugin for Rstudio that, if I read its description correctly, only works directly with the Juris-M version of Zotero. Bu…
  • This thread is several years old, and back then Adam Smith's comments were very apropos. But now Rstudio has added R Notebooks written in R Markdown to implement "literate programming." While I'm not yet ready to give up on tools designed primarily …
  • Thanks, Adam! I didn't even realize that sucker was there, much less that you can click on it and change the file name. Still, I do think my suggestion would be a good enhancement to Zotfile. Not only might it be more intuitively obvious than click…
  • This particular topic is now 28 pages long, so somewhere my question may have been asked already. If so, I apologize in advance. But a search for relevant terms comes up empty, so hopefully I'm not reinventing the wheel here. I'm using Zotfile to c…
  • Rather than start another thread, I'm posting this here, although it has broader scope than just mind mapping. If you're old enough, think back to the old days when academic work used index cards for bibliographic information and notes, you kep…
  • WHAT VALUE DOES TABLET FEATURE ADD TO ORDINARY SYNC? Since this discussion topic seems to cover all things Zotfile and is already over 1300 posts long, I've written a subject line above. I'm diving deep into using Zotfile. I've set up my N…
  • Maybe I was asleep at the wheel or in a hurry and thought I already knew how to use Zotero. Dunno. In any case, thanks.
  • Yeah, I just noticed this article this morning. I'm not sure how the good folks at Zotero expected us to learn this without reading the article, which I usually don't bother doing when installing updates. Maybe with a drastic revision like this the…
  • Thanks. Works like a charm!
  • As a follow-up to my previous comment, I ran the same drill on my home computer. It also fixed the problem there. Please note that while my office computer connects to the NAS drive via WebDAV, my home computer connects via the default protocol App…
  • Regarding adamsmith's comment & question. 1. These are pdf's I'm adding to Zotero. So initially they're stored completely outside of Zotero. Some are on the hard drive of my computer; others are on a departmental server. Using Zotfile, I am add…
  • No, the question is about the metadata in each item. I want the journal article to point to the pdf from the book. But I want the citation information to indicate that I'm using the reprint instead of the original article. I don't know how to do th…
  • Yes, I can easily identify the file. I deliberately moved about 20 files into a single directory and linked from there. But how should I work with it? I can easily open, copy, move, etc. the file. Looking at it with "Get Info" in the OS X Finder sh…
  • POSSIBLE BUG: NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED This may be a challenging problem. I've been using Zotfile for about a week without any problems. Yesterday I started getting error messages like the following whenever I try to Rename Attachments: Zotfile…
