Dark mode works on Linux running the Gnome 3 desktop (eg Debian 'Buster'). Dark comes from the system settings. Zotero looks OK.

Thanks, Dan: yes, disabling Gnome Extension Keyring for Firefox fixed it. It seems like an old extension, so I uninstalled it too. And, Yes, I am using Iceweasel on Debian Jessie--so many people have not heard of it called that, I referred to i…

Thank you, Dan. I just generated report 1640702011 about 10 minutes after manually starting a sync (by clicking on sync button) in Zotero/Firefox. The sync is still 'running' now and hovering over the rotating sync symbol reveals the message 'Last s…

I would like to have the formatting on separate lines, the space between entries and the missing 'size' field.

One other comment: although exhibitions themselves (as opposed to their catalogs) may rarely, if ever, be cited in a text, it is common to include chronological listings of historical exhibitions of an artist in a catalog, with particular exhibition…

The need(s) for an 'exhibitions' item, and advice for how to write one, appears in the Style Guide of the American Association of Art Editors: http://www.artedit.org/styleguide.htm#exhibithist

Yes, it is, and that worked! Thank you. Setting up my Mac's sync in SuperDuper!, with Firefox already running and so that file in place, it was fairly simple to edit the script to exclude/ignore that item.
-
Thank you for your suggestion. I'd like to avoid another dedicated database for this and I already use Zotero. I can get quite close to the 'citation style' I want by using the Title field, not the Meeting Name which you suggested. Also, in the…
-
Not sure if it is a citation, but one use would be in compiling a list of an artist's previous exhibitions; for example, for publication in the catalog of an exhibition. Zotero would be convenient in other ways to organise this data. For examp…

Just to confirm that this has all been working satisfactorily since this fix, on both Mac and Windows machine.
-
Yes, that fixed it. My Mac is currently uploading all the files. When that is done, I'll point my other machines and other copies of Zotero at the same new WebDAV file server. Thank you for your help!
-
Thank you both very much for your help. With what you've told me, I think I may have something to explain this: as part of my troubleshooting, I was examining my zotero WebDAV folder from a Windows XP machine, using the built-in WebDAV access. I fou…
-
Even when zotero cannot upload to a new empty zotero folder (see above)? It may be a problem with my WebDAV server, but it would seem to be even more basic than the validity of the data: it looks like zotero simply cannot store or access any data on…
-
Here's another strange thing: either Firefox or my ftp/WebDAV client Cyberduck can list the ~3200 files in my zotero folder within about 30 s of trying to log on. However when I use 'Connect to Server' on my Mac, the Mac finder never lists the …
-
I just tried renaming my old zotero folder on the WebDAV server to 'zotero-old' and made a new empty 'zotero' folder. I then ran 'Reset File Sync History' in the hope that all files would be re-uploaded. But again I got the same 'WebDAV fi…
-
Still don't know why this was happening, but I 'fixed' it by restoring a complete Portable Firefox installation folder that I had backed up, then set Zotero preferences of the restored Firefox copy to point at the same zotero folder that had appeare…
-
I accidentally found a way to repeat this problem. First, on the Windows installation that was giving me the problem, I had gone back to my latest good Zotero folder backup that had worked with the v1 plugin. I uninstalled the beta plugin, reinstall…
-
Maybe I wrote too soon: that worked for a while. Then, with quitting and restarting Firefox several times, I ended up getting a message about a sync already running, and did I want to reset or cancel (could not figure out what I wanted, I think I tr…
-
Thanks again. I followed your suggestion and changed Firefox preferences so PDF documents now open directly into Adobe Acrobat, rather than appear in the browser through the plugin. That will work fine for now--in fact I quite like it!
-
Here is what I see at the top of my browser when I try to view a Zotero-stored PDF: %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 67 0 obj endobj xref 67 29 0000000016 00000 n 0000001302 00000 n 0000000876 00000 n 0000001395 00000 n 0000001436 00000 n 0000001641 00000 n 00000017…

Yes, other than from Zotero, PDFs on the web that I go to by following links do indeed open in a plugin in my browser. That seems to be working OK. Thank you, but those discussions seem to be about something different from my problem.
-
I still cannot view attached PDFs on the Windows portable version of Firefox running the beta Zotero. It worked at first, then something got corrupted(?). Instead, I get computer code filling the browser window. If I click "Show File" and open …
