  • I can replicate this on that same platform & I believe it is a new issue with 2.0 (Linux is my primary platform & I think that I offered the linked advice after trying it in Linux). Some D&D Linux issues were peculiar to dragging from/t…
  • Sync on my slower machine still does not work correctly (using 1.5) and I gather from recent forum comments that I am not alone.Sync is constantly being improved. Recent forum comments re. syncing in 2.0 regard several problems: high zotero server …

  • I think we would rather not see an impractical constraint like dspace instances having to have "/dspace/ in their URL's. That was never an accurate expectation (nor /handle/ or any other URL structure for that matter).Note that individual repositori…
  • Hm, but in my the web-based library notes do have an URI, just like other items.Yes; CB noted that he has "link[ed] back to the web-based version of [his] zotero items." But he also stated it was clumsy to do this & the URI for those is not the…
  • I have noted that when the DSpace translator is used it doesn't work properly and no data are imported in Zotero.On some sites (due mostly, as you said, to the DSpace update). Finnally, in the last version of DSpace we have RDF info embedded in one …
  • While I understand your frustration, I don't think it is time for it: developer time is limited & most of it has been poured into the quite excellent web/group functionality that was released in beta. Just because your favorite feature request …

  • Yes. Create new item from current page is good if the item isn't in your database. You can also right click on an item & select "attach snapshot of current page"

  • AFAIK, WebDAV sync still uses .zip/.prop files. However, you can search the forums for threads re. plans for storing uncompressed copies on a server & other requests to make the link to these viewable on the Zotero server.
  • You should be able to use quick copy/export to create files to import into aigaion. For refbase, we have experimented with an extension that allows you to select records in zotero to upload & something could presumably be done for aigaion. Fin…
  • Known to be broken & has been fixed in the trunk: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6930/
  • Perhaps; but the hack is both somewhat common (a similar scheme is used in these Vanilla forums to list thread IDs). I think the way WordPress handles it is more opaque; how is anyone to know that:http://community.muohio.edu/blogs/darcusb/?p=585 ht…
  • As the database changes with each new release I take it that you can't go back to the previous version by downgrading.Correct. It is prudent to make a backup before upgrading, so that you can revert to where you were.
  • When searching groups, it'd be nice if a space was used as a keyword separator, rather than part of a substring. That is, these all work:https://www.zotero.org/search#group/atom https://www.zotero.org/search#group/probe https://www.zotero.org/searc…
  • Actually, http://www.zotero.org/anything/34 is supposed to redirect to http://www.zotero.org/bdarcus/34, but that doesn't seem to be working at the moment either.Works-for-me assuming that "anything" doesn't have a space in it (haven't tried other e…
  • If underscores are used, it'd be nice if the spaced version also worked. The (url-encoded) addresses:http://www.zotero.org/groups/atom-probe%20tomography https://www.zotero.org/groups/atom-probe%20tomography/11should point to the right page.
  • I care about having dead stable URI that can be used to link data together.But the current URIs are stable, right? They just might not be "pretty." If we wanted to drop the serial number, then we'd have to disallow name changes to make stable URIs…
  • No comment on what the best avenue forward is, but... Why am I still seeing trailing ids after the natural language slugs?The trailing ids are what is actually used & they seem to make for permalinks. You are allowed to change your username and…
  • Was this before or after the server went back up: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6944/
  • So acroread is bound to the port that Zotero would use. If you had enabled Zotero debugging, you should have seen a message about this. You can either kill acroread & start up Firefox (so that Zotero will presumably have its port back) or you …

  • @hamish: A lot of that is discussed in http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6497/ I added a remark to http://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#an_error_occurred_communicating_with_zotero
  • the pop gives the option of citing the document by section, rather than doing the entire page by "agile software development". Actually, it give the option of selecting references on that page that use COinS. To cite the wikipedia page, you could u…
  • Right; I think the question was specifically regarding PPC-distributions (rather than the x86 distro you run). Performance on my PowerBook is fine for me under Gnome, but a lighter-weight desktop is a good suggestion. I haven't heard of anyone hav…
  • refbase has been modified to emit UTF-8 COinS. However, I wouldn't consider the example given in the COinS guide to be a mandate that no other escaping system should be used. Pragmatically, I know that refbase wasn't the only application that used…
  • I run Jaunty w/ the beta version of Zotero without problems. Have you tried to enable debugging in Zotero & launch both OO.o & Firefox from the CLI (to get clues on what is happening on the console)?
  • What model of PowerBook do you have? I have a PBG4 (DVI) and have been contemplating dual-booting Linux on it.I also have a PBG4 w/ DVI. I have Ubuntu (Hardy) on it. I use Ubuntu on all of my machines & don't have a lot of experience with othe…
  • This is drifting offtopic, but I use the X11 version because I am on PPC & it is still better-supported there. But, again, I'm rarely in OS X. I usually have my PowerBook in Linux.3.1 natively...and the Mac Porting Project has a version that w…
