Actually, CiteSeer is an excellent example (http://dx.doi.org/0.1109/2.769447). Their heuristics take advantage of looking at ALL citations within a paper & also a large database of author names, journal names, journal abbreviations, etc. Expe…

zotero is mostly developed on Macs & I use it on win32, os x, and (both x86 and x86-64) linux. I haven't noticed substantial OS dependent performance issues. (There have been visual rendering quriks depending on platform, though--performance m…

Thanks for posting--it is obvious that the issue is important to you. I think people saw your first post, and I don't know if there was a reason to repost. You even got a reply.As with my ignorance of databases of article citations, I may well be …

Not stupid, but CSV export has been discussed before: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/356/export-to-csv

Try '-' and '+' in the collections and items list.Thanks--exactly what I was thinking
-
The downside of transforming collections into sub-collections would also be that all items in the sub-collections have to be dragged into the top-level collection for them to be highlighted when I press the Alt key in My-Library-view. (Unless I'm do…

I'm not opposed to the idea, but I don't know how it would make things easier to handle. Would not creating a smaller set of top-level collections (and making your "old" top-level collections sub-collections of those) solve your problem? The inter…

Several problems with that format: 'TY' is a required field that isn't present for your first record. All records must terminate with the 'ER -' tag. That they don't might be the reason it all got imported as one record. %2, %K, and …

Can you try to make the smallest RIS file that fails for both counts (e.g. one with only two records, but containing foreign characters that fail to import & preferably as few fields as possible that show these issues)? Then copy/paste it h…

Google Desktop excludes many directories on your drive, including the one that stores the Firefox profile by default (which is also the default storage directory for zotero).

gear icon->preferences->advanced->choose your custom directory. Note that you must restart firefox for the change to be registered & you'll be given an empty database by default. You can move/copy your Zotero data directory from i…

Both ACM and IEEE Xplore are supported, but sometimes the scrapers need to be updated due to changes by the sites and/or differences in URL regex. I didn't look for the citation you pasted, but I did test the sites in general with good success. If…

Yes, you CAN use synchronization software. However: synchronize the zotero database across multiple computers (in my case, 3 macs using a portable HD)If you have a portable harddrive, you don't need separate sync program. You can either user Por…

Depending on your OpenURL resolver, this should already happen when you press 'locate.' Many people can use crossref.org and/or ISI's 1cate as resolvers if their institutional resolver does not do this.

If you make a web snapshot, you can already highlight it & add notes. The paradigm is to keep the original content and the annotations separate. I'm not sure I see the advantage of marking up & then saving rather than saving and then marki…

No--SyncToy is an MS product for Windows only. There are many alternatives. Rsync, unison, iFolder, JFileSync, are free/open source & cross platform. If you have (s)ftp, cyberduck on OS X offers syncing. There are also many others.

Putting zotero on a portable drive doesn't solve the question of synching and (most importantly) backing up.Diligent users of external drives will backup the whole external drive! It doesn't solve all syncing issues, but it GREATLY lessens them for…

(1) will be forthcoming. (2) already exists now. There are OO.o Writer & MS Word plugins & you can drag/drop formatted citations.

I don't have Endnote X1, but RIS is selected as a "output style," rather than a file format. Also see past threads for how tos (hopefully little has changed in X1): http://forums.zotero.org/comments.php?DiscussionID=17&page=1#Item_4 http:/…

Can you look at the export file, just as Bob did? You must properly select the RIS export style & should double-check that the resulting file is actually a (plain txt) RIS file.

There is a zotero preference for whether or not zotero should be used for downloaded endnote files (gear icon->preferences->general tab->Miscellaneous section)

I believe you're overstating your case--keep in mind that Zotero is developed at a university by people who do research! If you have Zotero set to capture Endnote files, it will successfully import the "saved citations" (marked list) from JSTOR…

but it's not yet sure if it will be by supporting an external site, of by having a Zotero specific online site.There WILL be a central zotero server. However, the devs have also encouraged others to build zotero "utilities:" additional firefox plug…
