Anybody else with any thoughts? As far as I can see, I need a Harvard style that uses a colon as a separator for pages, maintains the use of author initials after the surname throughout the bibliography and only uses et al from 4 authors. The post a…

I don't believe there is a style guide available. It is from the editors of a book to be published by Routledge. Here are the only bits I have concerning citations etc. There are some inconsistencies in it! In-text citations The Handbook contains n…

Hmm, looks like I spoke too soon. It does indeed have the colon separator, but it also appears to use this strange approach of reversing the order of multiple authors' names, i.e. Jones, X and Y. Smith, which I can't use. Also, it has "et al" starti…

Awesome! That seems to do everything I need. Thanks very much.

In my wanderings through various links, and links in links, I found this: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/1580#issuecomment-475920462 This discussion was over my head in the detail, but I think I followed it in general, and the comment I li…

Many thanks for the response. I will give them a look. I am taking the view that I am best off writing as I go, so although it won't be fully written for about 4 years, I am effectively starting now. I will check out the macro.

Just did a search (simply for Github as I had no idea what to search for) and after ten minutes looking through results I couldn't find anything. Any hints about how to find those threads, as search term perhaps?
-
Thanks for the reply adamsmith. I will have a look for those threads. I am sitting at the beginning of a PhD and, despite having been a user and big supporter of Zotero since 2005, this could be a deal-breaker for me if I can find an alternative tha…

This thread keeps being revived, I guess because it is such a big issue. I haven't found anything to suggest that this problem has been solved, so I assume no progress has been made. That is disappointing, seeing that it has been going on for over 1…

I just wanted to add weight to the requests for this kind of flexibility. I have been teaching academic writing for over 20 years, and this is much more about good writing style than this or that citation format. As already mentioned, there are also…

I guess my level of knowledge is just not good enough, but I would love to install the storage scanner add-on mentioned above. But when I follow the link, it may as well be in Chinese. There is no indication of what I have to do to install the plugi…
-
I have seen this message also. As I am trying to solve other issues, I hadn't mentioned it. I am not involved with tablets or annotations though, just trying to rename and move files.
-
Thanks for the updates. 2.2.2 installed automatically, but I had to manually install 2.2.3. Afterwards, I tried to rename all the attachments (about 320). This froze FF, but a radio programme I was listening to kept going. I then forced FF to close …
-
As a follow-up to my query, I had another go at moving files. This time it worked, soemtimes. Why it started working, I don't know, but one issue seems to relate to entries that are an attachment without a parent. If I try to rename these, or a grou…
-
No, it doesn't work for me that way. I am using Windows 7 64 bit, so maybe 64 bit is the problem. Anybody using this configuration with the latest FF version, i.e. FF 16.0.2, Windows 7 64 bit, ZotFile 2.0?
-
There is information on renaming, but I can find no instructions whatsoever on moving. I can pretty much recite that page, I have read it so many times. I have tried right-clicking on a Zotero entry, and on an attachment itself, and clicking on "Man…
-
ok but that still doesn't explain how to actually initiate the move. I can find nothingg on this.
-
Thanks for your reply mronkko. >You need to set the ZotFile preferences to point to the new destination folder and ZotFile can move the files there. I have entered the new destination under General Settings-Location of Files-Custom locatio…
-
I am obviously being really dense, because there are loads of references to zotfile being able to batch move attachments, but I can't see how to do it. It looks like it might be linked to the renaming function, but I can't see how. I currently have …
-
As a followup to the last post, I imported the two library files into Zotero and seem to have got most if not all of the data back, albeit not in the collections. That's at least something. Presumably I will have to reestablish the links to the file…
-
Appreciate your input anyway. There is another discussion in the forums which suggests that syncing does cause duplicates if you transfer the database manually to a second computer and then sync, rather than syncing first, but that is another, lesse…
-
Can't see how to post a screenshot, but it isn't that important, and I was looking at version 1 at the time. I transferred the whole data directory to the new computer, not the rdf file. Then there would have been a sync, thus explaining the duplica…
-
Thanks for the response. I am looking at Zotero as I type, and at the top it says collections. Underneath it says my library. Obviously I don't have two of whatever it is now to check with, but I concluded from how the window is set up that Collecti…
-
That last point was really useful and would have saved me loads of time previously, rather than trying to go through the whole upgrade process before finding out. Could this not be added to the guidance notes for the upgrade? It is a much better way…
-
Maybe I'm being stupid, but how can you not correctly replace it? Kevin
-
Although I don't believe my problem had to do with the localized version of Windows (see my post on Mar 12), I am using a German version, if it helps.
-
That has (almost) solved the problem. Word was blocked and if I remove that, the plugin works. I can't seem to find any possibility with Avira to block access to the internet while allowing access to localhost, but I will take that up with them. Man…
-
What I forgot to write in the last message, is how can I allow this kind of activity with the firewall? Zotero doesn't exist as an application as far as I can tell, so I can't simply give it authorisation to pass the firewall. Also, it is internal t…
-
Now we are getting somewhere :-) I turned off the firewall, and pressed the Zotero Set doc prefs button. This completely froze Word and required three attempts to kill it with Task Manager. I then reopened Word and tried again. This time I got the…
-
Interesting. I went back and tried again, simply selecting the same command line I used before from the drop-down list in the run window, and it worked this time. I eventually managed to work out how to copy the contents. I have now sent the content…
