  • This was a bit different: the same grey box appears lower right as usual, saying Looking for Translators ... ; but the message it settles on is "An error occurred while saving this item. Check Known Translator Issues for more information." (Check K…
    in Microsoft Surface RT and Zotero--- can they go together? Comment by Clive Cheesman January 5, 2014
  • Thanks for reply. Exactly the same result on PubMed, I'm afraid. Maybe this is nothing to do with Surface _or_ the and just some basic incompetence on my part. I wondered if that was what you meant by Zotero mobile version, but I clearly misin…

  • @adamsmith I'd love to know what those people who report success through using the bookmarklet with IE on an RT surface are doing. I have one running Windows 8.1 RT, and have successfully installed the bookmarklet (i.e. created a Favourite which r…

  • It's more a matter of proportions of true to false positives than absolute numbers. There isn't a single genuine duplicate in the first twenty items in my list. The false ones are the huge majority, and discourage one from looking at the list. …

  • @ Dan: many thanks for creating the ticket. @ Gracile: thanks for the advice. It is indeed excellent that Zotero offers interface in such a wide range of languages (though there's no en-UK, just en-US). But there still seems some way to go for …

  • Yes, I agree - but that's what happens when you copy and paste from elsewhere. A lot of what I am bringing into Zotero comes from an Excel spreadsheet I was using as an ad hoc bibliography. Possibly I had cut and pasted into it from some earlier sou…
