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 …
-
@hughp3 Thanks for telling me about BDP47. Yours is an excellent suggestion and I may well change my 'xx' codes to 'zxx', although this is still not strictly compliant with the BCP47 recommendations. What I really mean by 'xx' is 'this citation is i…
-
@bwiernik Sorry, the type of tagging you suggest is too cryptic for me; not easy enough to remember.
-
@dstillman Yes you did point to the documentation, which mentions some codes that can be used. I agree with most of what is said there, except that titles should 'usually be in sentence case'. With a mixed-language title, one has to stop all conver…
-
@bwiernik In response to your comment on the original text, I added the first two lines to the text, which put the question and the answer in a nutshell. Hope that helps!
-
... and I did solve it; see the last paragraph starting "Conclusion..."
-
See paragraph 3, the one starting "my problem is"...
-
@dstillman Thanks for your comprehensive response. I certainly did not want to annoy anyone. As I said, I am a great fan of Zotero and have used it for at least 6 years now, mostly for academic writing. Nevertheless, it seems there are some feature…
-
Great!
-
6. There should be a preference that allows me to tell Zotero to ALWAYS ignore any changes in a citation. This would allow me to remove the all the automarks WORD puts in citations without having to answer 'no' several hundred times when doing the f…
-
Ok, I finally figured out that you did mean the Language field in the database. I also figured out that Zotero does not like the values “originally” or “translated”. On a subsequent run, I also found errors for “undetermined”. I eventually removed a…
-
You mean the language field in the Zotero database? What are the permitted values? I can just make them blank if I can detemine which is at fault. Can you see what the invalid value is?
