I tried this in Jurism, in an English variant field that is a translation of a German title, but it made no difference. Does Jurism process this differently from Zotero? The example, as I enter it, is “Oil Paintings, Watercolours and Pencil Drawin…

I am writing a thesis in English about a German artist (Joseph Beuys), so I cite a lot of German sources and supply English translations. About 6 months ago, I switched to Jurism, which is a variant on Zotero that you can install on top of it, so it…

I am basing my style on MHRA 3, and have that setting in Jurism, though I am not obliged to follow MHRA exactly. On Title case, the MHRA Guide version 3 says: In English titles the initial letters of the first word and of all nouns, pronouns (exce…

Thanks. I reported my experience and it is working satisfactorily now.
-
I only uninstalled the Zotero add-on in Word, by unticking the box in the add-ons list, then re-installing it from Juris-m. I don't know why this is necessary or why it works, but it is and it did, in both MacOS and Windows. You can't open both Zo…

I got "Jurism Integration Error" when I tried to insert a citation, even in a blank document. There was a button that took me to the standard Zotero troubleshooting page, which was not applicable in this case. After fiddling for a while I finally …

OK. I'll carry on using the Series field then. Cheers.
-
Thanks for the Juris-m tip. That does indeed appear to offer the language features I seek (though at the time of writing I cannot get it to work with Word for Mac)
-
I do not understand the technical discussion about CSL. I did try the Extra field with MHRA 3 and it is not used, whether or not I put "Annote:" (or "Annotate:") in the field.

I don't see the logic of replacing the author with the title, they are not the same thing! I first came across it with a series of dictionary entries. I suppressed the author because I did not want to see it even if there is one. Of course, having e…

If I may chip in ... I have some similar experiences to @crabpaws.... Zotero is driven by citations (and citation styles), so you need one Zotero item for every edition of an article or essay. I often have several too: e.g. an original article is p…

Thanks :-)

Summary of my feature requests to date Make the MacOS version as fast as the Windows version Always respond to button-pushes. E.g. if I say ‘refresh’ Zotero says ‘I am refreshing, please wait’. Provide a progress bar in the MacOS version Provide …

@dstillman I hadn't but I did today, and this time the pop-up did appear after about 30 minutes. Since my posting yesterday I re-ran the refresh several times while doing something else on the computer (but not in Word or Zotero). On no occasion d…
-
@adomasven You really should consider refreshing/editing this document as multiple separate chapters Please stop repeatedly saying this as you are making me angry now. It's not a matter of 'consideration'. As I have said in previous threads, after …
-
What you cite there is something I can work with. Why cannot this be displayed in the Zotero error message, then I would not have to bother you! Can I get it myself from a log somewhere?
-
p.s. 5) Is there an easy way of seeing what path a given Zotero item is actually using? And whether that is absolute or relative? I can of course use 'show file' to see where it is on the disk if the link is good, and if I change the file name by h…
-
I'm not sure either which of 1 or 2 it was. It was not 3 because the files were there but were not being found by Zotero. 1) It would be possible to put the files back where they were, temporarily, though a bit of trouble because I will have to re…

Test 18. Got the bit between my teeth now. Went back to yesterday's version of the thesis (201214) because that had failed to insert a bibliography at all. I was able to reproduce the failure on MacOS. It gave the usual error message "there is an er…
-
OK. The new Report ID is 1098910098. I did three tests using today's version of the thesis, which had no bibliography because yesterday's version failed to insert one (and deleted what was there). Test 15. Was on the MacOS with the Beta version …
-
I though I did that extensively on 4 and 6 December! I sent you a detailed report of the tests I did, the documents I used and the full debug files. I don't know what else I can do?
-
Ah. So, any news?
-
I can't really tell where they came from. I have being using Zotero for years without paying any attention to tags, but now I wanted to try a few things out - which is working well by the way. FYI, I am setting tags as field-value pairs to indicat…
-
OK. I get it. Won't do it again :-( I'll just delete tags by hand if and when they reappear. I have turned off the automatic tagging preference, so that should slow the addition of new tags. It's only clutter anyway; they will not prevent my pri…
-
OK, not closed then :-) Test 14 in my log: I downloaded the Beta 5.0.94-beta.4+31c928a3f, then ran refresh on a copy of the same document used for all the previous tests (4 Dec version) with no text removed. It took 00:31 minutes to complete but P…
-
Partly right. When I started up this morning some tags reappeared that I did not want. However, there were only about a dozen, so I deleted them individually. A manual re-sync after that did not bring them back and the ones I generated yesterday are…
-
No, please don't encourage people to run SQL write commands on their databases Well generally I wouldn't encourage working directly with the database at all, but I had no alternative and it worked for me. I know nothing about the API and am not fam…
-
Thanks @lmullen and @mazibuko for tips that are still valid in 2020! Zotero has added a command 'delete all automatic tags in the library', which helps, but for some reason did not delete all of them in my case. You can use -A to select all tags, b…
-
Yes, that fixed it. Thanks :-)
-
OK. Seems there's nothing more you can do then. thanks for all the effort anyway. For anyone else reading along: Windows and iCloud are not really matters for this forum but FYI ... 1. I should mention that Windows 10, although downloaded and in…
