  • Your issue might be related to this thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6386 Attachments work fine for me in Linux, though. ls -l zotero/storage/zxvpfdti/My storage directories are in all caps. My guess is that when you copied from your…

  • I would like this style to be the same whether the locale is en-US or fr-FR.Presumably you can add two locale branches, one for xml:lang="en" and one for xml:lang="fr". I haven't looked in depth; it may be possible for a term to apply to all langua…

  • Are the characters inserted the same as is used by your database and/or style file? They should be. Update your database entries and/or style files to use the appropriate characters. If you think that a certain change (especially to a style file)…

    in person category for library items Comment by noksagt March 30, 2009

  • Sorry--I wasn't clear. Yes, annote is mostly used for only annotated bibliographies. The default styles don't output it & most "popular" non-default styles probably don't output it either. My main point is that an 'annote' imported into zoter…
    in Smooth migration from JabRef to Zotero Comment by noksagt March 30, 2009
  • The debug output shows the file doesn't exist. The first thing I'd do is to check to see if that is the case, but Zotero isn't setup to output the filename in the debugging output right now. If you feel comfortable doing it, I would load 'zotero.s…

  • While annote is a standard BibTeX field, it may or may not be the best fit: some BibTeX styles use this for annotations in citations, which may or may not be desirable for one's personal reading notes. Further, Zotero treats 'note' and 'annote' as …

  • This has been frequently asked. There are no plans to support the zotero sync server, but the code for it may be released. If you want to sync on your own machines, you'll need to write or use a third-party plugin/server and/or use one of the many…

  • You might want to watch the screencasts. Rather than use Zotero on PDF pages, use it on the page with the abstract. For example, go to: http://www.genetics.org/cgi/content/abstract/181/3/933 And click the icon that appears in your Firefox address …

  • Sure, Zotero does the same thing. The model is slightly different, as Zotero is a plugin to a browser (rather than stand-alone programs that have limited/embedded web browsers, a'la Sente/Bookends). Rather than a dialog box opening up, you'd have …

    in Idea? Using CSL Citation styles to output biblio in LaTeX Comment by noksagt March 25, 2009
  • Zotero will try to use a text extract and google scholar to retrieve metadata (and, in the trunk, will try to use DOIs). I'd imagine that you'd have to either manually enter or copy/paste the author/title into Bookends/Sente (because, as you said, …
