For discussion on hierarchical relationships, see also February 5, 2007 “Hierarchical Item Relationships” https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/391/2/hierarchical-item-relationships/ June 16, 2010 “Entire Journals” https://forums.zotero.org/discus…

I said l'd take a look at the 'hierarchical item types' discussions. I did and found the following of interest. It's quite a Zotero institution! (Started October 23, 2006) “Books and Book Sections: Avoiding Input of Duplicate Info” https://forum…

I do this sort of thing quite a lot. (This is from a fellow user, not Zotero staff) 1. Set up entries for each Book. 2. Create entries for each Section of that Book by copying the Book entry and changing the Type to Book Section (to make sure you …

I agree with @tucabib 's Feature Request. See my comments on http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/13117/entire-journals/

I support @mdfurney 's original feature request. Yes, a whole Journal is similar to a Book, and that's what I use now too. However ... When hierarchical items come (and pigs fly), I would like the hierarchy: --> Journal (name, publisher etc.) …

I'd like this too!

I just realised this thread is similar to my own feature request https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/86468/feature-request-link-book-sections-to-book/ I support the idea of hierarchical items in Zotero and I like @devan's idea for the user interfa…

l'll take a look at the 'hierarchical item types' discussions. I'll take a look at Zutilo too. Thanks. Worldcat is useful to me because it has a large selection of references, and an overview of availability in libraries but I am not shy of using…

P.S. I just read the read the issue in Github and the reason it is not done now, namely that focus shifts from the document to Zotero if progress is shown. Personally, I am fine with that. I presume you want leave focus on the document so the user c…

Thanks for creating an issue. I was not aware that it was a specifically MacOS problem, but I presume plenty of Zotero users use Macs, and there are other apps that have solved similar UI issues. I mostly use a 27" iMac for working on large document…

Yes, I can see that you are limited in the pop-up dialogue, which is one reason that I suggest making it a Zotero Document Preference (like choosing the citation type). The other reason is that any pop-up dialogue is inappropriate in a long-running …

This (false) error just happened again - ReportID 2090408165. Following your instructions, I enabled debugging in Zotero, deleted the Bibliography in WORD and started ‘refresh’ without a Bibliography. The next step involves guesswork because Zot…

Great. That works. You just have to know! Thanks :-)

It's run local at the default locations I presume as I never changed them. I see Zotero folders in /Users/myname/zotero /Users/myname/Library/Application Support/zotero and of course the app in /Applications/Zotero.app I synchronise notes to the …

*I think I cracked it* Neither blank or % works with an 'is' or 'is not' match, but either works with a 'contains' or 'does not contain' match. So both 'Language ... does not contain ... %' and 'Language ... does not contain ... ' return a list of …
-
... It seems to be field-dependent too! % works as wildcard in the Title field but not in Language field (!)
-
Once I removed the match-blank-field row from the search (with blank or %), the search works as expected. I now have a saved search that correctly shows invalid codes AND blank fields. With 'show top level only' I can now see that the number listed …
-
Yes, 'show only top level items' works. Thanks.
-
P.S. the search on blank field does not work. I tested it separately and it matches nothing at all. Neither does %. % works as a wildcard (for any number of characters) if used with letters, but not on its own, apparently. Is there any way of matc…
-
I am using ALL, as I said: "I set up a search that tests for ALL the conditions. Each condition is 'Language' ... 'is not'". If it is not the first code and not the second one, and so on for the whole list then it is not any allowed code. However,…
-
I agree on the need to be able to specify case-sensitive and whole-word searches separately, whether it is an "is" search or not. I would also like a simple way to check whether a field is numeric (for Edition) or contains any one of a list of value…

I am not aware of changing anything in the configuration, but on inspection I found both app.update.enabled and app.update.auto were set to false, so I reset them to the default true. My internet connection is fine (cabled 35Mbps) and synchronisatio…

Ah. I had forgotten to update this computer because it was being repaired when the new release came out. I have updated it now to 5.0.89. I cannot find any option to automatically install updates. ... ? It has not happened again since the repor…

Thanks to both @bwiernik and @hughp for those clarifications.

I am citing the BOOK, which is itself the catalogue of an exhibition. That is precisely why I want the additional text "catalogue of an exhibition...". Apart from the additional text, the details are as for any other book. Sigrid Hofer is in this ca…

Cheers

You are right again; the magnifying glass. I learn something every day!

... to be clear, I want the final citation to look like this: Hofer, Sigrid, ed., Entfesselte Form: fünfzig Jahre Frankfurter Quadriga [Unshackled Form: Fifty Years of the Frankfurt Quadriga Group], catalogue of an exhibition at the Städelsches Ku…

@bwiernik 'Using the multilingual language tag like that will prevent proper casing of English titles.' --> that's exactly what I want! 'I suggest you store that sort of information in Extra like this...' I tried that, but the Extra field is no…

One reason I want to stop Zotero changing my capitalisation is that it changes both the Title and the Series fields (possibly other fields too?). I often (mis-)use the Series field for additional text that I want in the citation, like "catalogue of …
