To get all attachments to sync periodically, can I write a script to restart zotero, say, every 20 minutes? `killall -9 zotero-bin` kills zotero. Is there a safer way to externally stop zotero?
-
@dstillman : Thanks for the clarification. I open zotero-managed PDFs in external applications, e.g. okular, and sync is indeed not triggered when I edit and save the PDF in Okular. By "change in zotero" do you mean change in the code of Zotero (vs…

After removing nautilus, Zotero opens Dolphin (in KDE) when I choose "Show File". Then, unlike in Nautilus, double-clicking the PDF file in Dolphin opens in the "correct" application. All this may seem not surprising, but I was worried that after r…

I guess nsIFile.launch() works on all platforms, including Windows, where xdg-open doesn't. If so, sticking to nsIFile.launch() may indeed be convenient. I hope that Mozilla will fix nsIFile.launch() some day to properly use Freedesktop standards …

It seems that nsIFile.lanunch() is hard coded for GNOME-based Desktop Environments: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694870 I have painlessly used xdg-open and other tools of the xdg-utils suite in both GNOME and KDE. In both t…

Is there any reason Zotero shouldn't just use xdg-open to open PDFs?
-
It is indeed fixed now. Thanks.

Sorry for my bad memory. You are absolutely right. I dug up my browsing history and found that place. It was Sean's post at https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6210/synch-with-server-and-privacy-security/ . I think it is correct to allow http:…

Thanks. Does the sync mechanism use SSL for all communication? I remember reading somewhere that the attachments are not sent over an SSL connection by default. I can't find any option to enable SSL connection for attachments.

I don't get why the server needs to understand THE CONTENTS of the files/notes in order to provide the sync backend. Why can't the server just treat the contents as black boxes? Does the server store the content-search-index also?
-
Thanks. Your work-around is good enough for now.

There is a "find pdf" button when I access items in my library via secure.zoteroreader.com. I tried it a few times and it always worked. However, I could't find such an option in the UI of the standalone version of Zotero. From the discussion so f…

Thanks a lot for your clarification. And sorry for not doing my research before posting. Indeed, I was able to put an article in two collections and the associated PDF file was not duplicated.
-
Since an article can be only in one collection, it is probably not correct to say that (sub)collections are hierarchical tags. I have many (inter-disciplinary) articles that I would want to simultaneously keep (w/o duplicating) at different nodes in…
