There's a similar issue with notes. It's possible to paste html text to notes but when copying from a note to Chrome, the text is corrupted in the same way as above.
-
This may not help you much, but one of the things I do is to attach links to zotero items. For example, some of our items have got specific collections attached to them (such as a collection of citing items and a collection of cited items). To not l…

Thank you!
-
That's really great! It still relies on having realised what I did. Sometimes I go through collections removing items from that collection, but have accidentally deleted them. (This is because I might be removing attachments with shift-delete at th…
-
Ah really? I was mainly thinking of the "shift-delete" and "delete". On linux it would also be good to have the option of modifier keys, but again, maybe the framework forces that choice of modifiers.

Hi @danstillman Would the proposal by @leonardof be a welcome change? If not, would it be possible to building something into Zotero that exposes the functionality say via advanced settings? I.e., an advanced setting that has "permanent-delete-d…

@adamsmith and @dstillman, is there any chance of getting more fine-grained permissions server-side? I imagine it's out of the question? This would be good: "A group setting where you can add new items and edit & delete your own items but not o…
-
Ah yes! So our workflow yesterday was: (1) Add attachment to Zotero item (2) Wait for it to upload. (3) Sync another Zotero (different user) (4) Result: File not available. (Neither for the other user, not API). We tried this several times (over a…
-
Yes, sorry - one file was for downloading, the other for uploading. Basically, a colleague and I added a file attachment to an item, but only the attachment metadata came through, the file itself never became available (i.e., the 'doesn't exist'), d…

For the file failing to upload, I see this in the logs: ``` (3)(+0000001): Initializing download request 4/I5IDVHIQ (3)(+0000000): Starting download request 4/I5IDVHIQ (3)(+0000000): Saving https://api.zotero.org/groups/2405685/items/I5IDVHIQ/file (…

@leonardof - yeah, that's a really good idea!
-
Many thanks - that's good to know!
-
@qqbb - that's is very helpful! I'll explore! (I've used https://github.com/coherentgraphics/cpdf-binaries for quite a while, and find it really helpful. I didn't know the other tools, but will obviously look.)
-
Thank you!
-
Thanks @adamsmith. I agree that the benefits are minor. We've added an xmp export to https://github.com/OpenDevEd/zotero-lib, and will use cpdf to to add metadata. Thanks!
-
Thanks for feedback. " An upcoming version of Zotero will let you configure how long to save downloaded files locally to save space." That's very helpful - a few of our users are struggling with disk space needed for larger libraries.
-
Thanks for comment @qqbb. I made those changes to our code, see here: https://github.com/edtechhub/zotero-edtechhub

Hi all, I've now re-added another library, which has 20,000 items. The sql storage is now 600MB, and there's now a significiant lag. Not as bad as before, but operations that were pretty quick before, now take ~1-2 seconds (without sync). When a s…
-
Thank you!!
-
OK, yeah - that makes sense!
-
Yeah - agreed. I guess this is hard to do via plugin? What would be needed to implement that?
-
Thank you, that's helpful!!

@emilianoeheyns Ah that's interesting. Could say something about the basic idea about how to do this? I'll then ask one of our volunteers (who you've met) to look at. It might be an idea to also add an option below 'restore column order', for 'res…
-
Hi @emilianoheyns, Do you mean that it would be easy to add items to the column selector, so they can be turned on/off? Or do you mean it's easy to write a plugin that displays certain columns on demand, but not through the plugin selector? Or bot…
-
OK, so sync is hard. What if one didn't sync, but just kept this as local? E.g. (1) could a plugin be able to change existing colours for new colours, even if that was a local (hidden) preference? (2) Would a plugin be able to add 'decoration' to…
-
@realtime99, @redes.diego. Just to summarise: (1) Able to select my own 9 colours (2) Able to add a UTF character to the coloured dot in the middle pane (e.g., in the colour selection menu, also be able to add a letter) (3) Assign more than 9 co…
-
One of the items that I am definitely missing in the middle column is 'number'. That would be extremely useful. Often we do series of reports that have the same 'Series', but of course different titles - if would be so helpful to be able to order th…

Hi all, To give some more feedback on this. I have disabled full-text indexing, and disabled all plugins, but was still getting the two issues above (1 and 2). My db is 2.9 GB. As Dan said above, that in itself should not slow down the right-click,…
