Yes, interestingly about the same arguments; maybe both parties use the same tool, or both parties just copied the reasoning from elsewhere. In general to "improve the security" of Windows, companies seem to install highly invasive software that tra…

OK, I submitted a bug report; maybe other people affected should have an eye on it: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1083320
-
I read that, but I'm missing facts: Could it be that the extension uses obsolete Java classes or methods, or it it the OpenJDK implementation?
-
My suggestion is to make the metadata detection more strict, i.e.: If the metadata does not conform to a robust standard, don't offer to add a page using the metadata. Maybe the page given is just a nice playground ;-)
-
http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/dataserver_setup gives just "This topic does not exist yet", because it was deleted. A poor choice IMHO.

If I could add an attachment (screen shot), it would be much easier: There are two boxes in the preferences tab: One for Microsoft Office, and for LibreOffice/BeoOffice below. The texts in the Microsoft box are all OK, but the texts in the LibreOf…

I managed to get the version thing running: I had been confused by "in the format pdftotext-{platform}.version". For Windows "{platform}" would include ".exe". So I had files pdftotext-Win32.version" and "pdfinfo-Win32.version", while I needed "pdft…
-
Let me add: First, there's a button in Zotero that refers to the Wiki page for manual installation. I followed that path to find out that the documentation does not cover Windows. Second I was specifically asking what the content of a ".version" fil…

Updating incomplete documentation is a waste of your time?
-
(Maybe I'm in computer business for too long: I grew up in times where you got software on a physical media to install; even updates. That method still works in Intranets. OK now?) I downloaded the binaries sucessfully, and indexing worked. Howeve…
-
I downloaded xpdf tools from the xpds site as binaries. Otherwiese I would have said that I compiled them myself. Yes I'd prefer to download the Windows binaries from Zotero if I were able to locate them. The reference page isn't really helpful lo…
-
What is the download path for Windows (Dan Stillman on Jan 17th 2014 only names the Linux binaries, and the path is hard to guess)? Could it be that the standalone installer removes existing PDF tool when updating an installation? I thought I had …
-
Sorry for the delay: I'm saying that there are two column titles named "Ausgabe" in the German localisation wich display two different things (I guess that one refers to magazine articles (no idea what the database term is), while the other is the e…
-
Maybe let me add this: In German Zotero there are two different "Ausgabe" column headings; one seems to be "Auflage" (Books), while the other seems to be "Ausgabe" (Magazine Articles). I'd strongly suggest not to use two identical labels for two dif…
-
So I guess that update check was inherited from Firefox (what Zotero Standalone really is under the hood, it seems)? In Firefox you can disable that (assuming that it actually works). On "unfriendly editorializing": Different cultures may have …
-
For my shame and your personal amusement, here's my error: stdin:237:12: error: attribute ^sifffix not allowed Would be nice if Zotero could show that.
-
Dan Stillman is right: Somehow I tried right mouse on middle panel only (where you can do things like duplicate entry, etc.). On the note of adamsmith: If the last message in a thread were referring to the entry above (plus the same explanation), …
-
On the same subject I see the following related issues: 1) There is not descriptive help what an entry type should be used for (I had a separate proposal ("bubble help") on that) 2) If you entered you data, but you found the type selected was no…
-
Before answering "What's your use case for this BTW?", let me ask how those IDs are managed when using "Zotero sync": Don't you have the same problem there? Related is the question how you create an ID (I assume you create them as soon as a new en…
-
Regarding the fix: I don't see the problem in either converting the line break to a space or to something that Zotero can handle. Actually the example I provided was copied and pasted from an LO document (it seesm I cannot really upload a binar…
-
Well, people are often stating that a better user interface isn't possible until someone created one. If the bubble help would only appear if the pointer is hovering over the bold label for a second or more, most people won't be bothered with it whi…
-
I agree with mmoole, and I'd like to comment on adamsmith: I've seen bibliographies where the same source was listed several times. Thus one could include sub-references (like pages, chapters, figures, etc.) with each bibliography entry (answering t…

Amazed to read that it was requested seven years ago (and still not available).

I am using zotero standalone on Windows (4.0.17). I guess the problems you described should not be there. See also https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/34974/improve-import-from-file/#Item_1 where I had problems using Zotero RDF to export/import. Wh…

On "translating locale files" suggested by Rintze: Are you aware that there are languages where ordinals can have three (masculine/feminine/neutrum) genders? For example in German: "dritter Mann" (m), "dritte Frau" (f), "drittes Kind" (n) [for the n…
-
For the comment by adamsmith: (See my proposal on also https://gist.github.com/sjvudp/d1531fc898966d0b8702) If you translate "director" as "Regisseur", I guess you'll have trouble to translate "art director" (and similar) with the existing patte…
-
Some comments on the diffs: The abbreviation for "Zeile" should be "Z.", not "l." "director" is not used for movies is better translated as "Leiter" IMHO. This enables a more reasonable translation for "editorial-director" as well. "illustr…

Well, I don't want to be a full time member of the translation team, just want to share my change proposal with anyone. In a bugzilla-like infrastructure things seem to be easier than with all these forums, portals and clouds...
