  • Please search the forums for more info, but: batch editing is planned, but it may take some time to actually implement.
  • The devs have said multiple times that batch editing is planned, but it might take a while before this feature appears.
  • You might consider just trying Zotero & also browsing these forums a bit more to see if it is a good match. Where does Zotero keep the attached pdfs?In the storage directory.Can I change that location?You can change the storage directory, but th…

  • Surely he meant the 'Book title' zotero field should be exported as a BibTeX 'Title' if using '@inbook.' However: BibTeX styles do differ, but some assume that 'chapter' is a chapter number in an '@inbook.' It might be preferable to expor…

  • FAQ (summary: don't worry about import/export; just copy your zotero directory to the new install)
  • Which operating system? Were you using the default location for Zotero storage? Did the tech office replace files in the new installation? Did they backup the newer storage first? The default storage location is within your firefox profile. You…
  • Which version of endnote? The UTF-8 support in that program is somewhat recent & many of the text-based export formats may not use it in even the newer versions by default. Are the characters present when you open the files in a text edito…
  • Sorry--I see that you noticed that I raised the point at the template talk page (I didn't think you'd be the only person to maintain COinS on WP either!)....next time, I'll try to ping you.
  • This topic has been discussed a few times (here and hre), but I'll rehash it a bit... (unless I'm wrong) there is no consistent standard for storing metadata or document IDs within PDFs.PDFs have had 'info dictionaries' for a long time & now sup…
  • It is still true & SeaMonkey has only received minor/security updates since last year & no new feature or major architectural changes. Unfortunately, addons.mozilla.org makes it possible to make it look like any extension will work in a…
  • Export->Wikipedia citation templates
  • I think I misunderstood you--Zotero doesn't currently export the callnumber & exports translators as authors. Because of this & because there's no sort of consensus on these fields, I won't be the one to make this change. Translator so…
  • That button is only for making generic web citations. The quick start guide shows the icon in the location bar that you click to save citation info on supported sites.
  • I can tell you that the bibtex translator did not import call numbers when I last checked & it may not import the translator field. Neither of these is a core bibtex field and there doesn't seem to be strong consensus in third party packages to…
  • But please note the refbase (like JabRef and most other programs) has a single notes field, so all of the N1s in RefWorks (call numbers or not) will be concatenated.
  • Sorry you didn't have more success. I can try to convert the file for you if you send it to donatetofoss@gmail.com (please put "ZOTERO" in the subject line), but I won't be able to edit the various fields for you--I'd just send you the Endnote form…
  • Have you tried to import some other file? Zotero may be having problems with parsing the particular file you're trying to feed it. 7000 is a lot to try at once. If I were in your position, I'd break it up into several files (1000 per file or …
  • Although Zotero is a wonderful application I'm finding it very hard to sync collections.server-based sinking is being beta tested, so is on the way.I use SyncToy, but for some reason, although it appears to sync the sqlite files where the Zotero dat…
  • ran the program, entered "ris2xml formatout.ris" and hit return and it just sits there, the blinking cursor mocking me.How many references do you have? Have you tried a file with just one reference to test it? Also: bring up the task manager (ctrl…
  • Zotero can read COinS that are embedded in any webpage. If you are using WordPress, Peter Binkley's plugin will generate them for you. If you are using some other blogging software, you can possibly make a plugin or make sure that it excepts HTML …
  • then attempted to run the program and enter the command according to the syntax provided on the site (ris2xml ris_file.ris > output_file.xml), but the program doesn't seem to respond to anything I do.Bibutils outputs to standard out and the '>…
  • Can you export to the so-called Endnote format (Refer/BibIX)? If so, then call number are tagged with %L. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software#Export_file_formats suggests that you can't, but it may or …
  • It is not clear what you really want. If you want portable firefox, download & install it from portableapps, close all copies of firefox, launch the portable version, and install zotero as normal. It sounds as if you did not do that. If you d…
  • I didn't have or post a test case where the zotero entry contained the unicode quotation characters but again my expectation would be that they would map to the latex equivalent.\\textquotedblleft is a LaTeX equivalent & a quick search through c…
  • In looking at this, it appears that I also need to find is a different output format. Many of the losses/distortions were incurred at an early stage in the process. Yup--the bibtex file generated by endnote already has many of the flaws you cited (f…
  • I've tried the RIS suggestion someone else made on another discussion thread. Didn't make a differenceWhich file formats other than RIS have you tried? Have you tried bibtex, for example? This should make some difference (though not necessarily th…
