Thanks for your quick reply! Unfortunately, the desktop file wouldn't run, or respond in any way. I realize now that your other suggestion -- "run ./zotero" -- would have been from a terminal window, but I didn't try that. What I did was copy the c…

I had Zotero standalone working on my old computer (Elementary OS Freya 32-bit). I don't recall having problems installing it. I got a new computer (Elementary OS Loki 64-bit). I downloaded the standard Linux version of Zotero standalone and could…

Uh oh. I have totally wasted your time. I should have searched a little more carefully here before posting. The problem was the "-no-remote" flag in the FF startup. Fixed!
-
The javascript API method is more complicated -- and scarier! -- than I'm willing to take on, at least for now. As for editing tags via the local Zotero database, I did that a couple of years ago and it worked fine, but -- as I had been warned -- it…

Thank you!

I think I'm giving up on this. One, I can't really figure it out. Two, and probably more importantly, Dropbox is so slow the whole scheme isn't really feasible :(
-
Thank you. I think I might have gotten Zojo working, or at least started. And, I had not realized how glacially slow Dropbox is when used for more than just sharing the occasional Word document. In 3 or 4 days, I'll be able to see if I've got it rig…

On the Android devices, I just want to read and annotate. On the Windows 7 laptop, it's Acrobat (because I use it to do other things like repagination, OCR, etc.). I don't actually use the laptop much for reading and annotating, and I wouldn't …

Update -- still not :(

Dear dpfavand:

+1. Sadly, I just basically want the words in front of me. I print the page to PDF and save it somewhere (knowing that failure is a real possibility!), but it would be nice if Zotero could do this.

Thank you, adamsmith, for the information and for your promptness. I was just on my way back here to edit (or even delete abashedly?) my post, based on what I found here: http://zoteromusings.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/announcing-rtfodf-scan-for-…

I'm sorry this is such a total noob question, but I'm having a hard time getting started with this. I have just started using Scrivener, although I'm pretty familiar with using Zotero along with Word. I've figured out the basic, straight-RTF route b…

In case anybody's still curious, Sage hasn't fixed this (and neither have I heard back from them FWIW).

Hi zuphilip I am sorry for not responding earlier! I did try this, with Firefox, but could not get it to work. That's okay, however, since I use Zotero standalone and not the Firefox add-on so it's moot anyway. (I've even abandoned Firefox entirely …

+1!

There are tutorials on this site, including one about adding items to Zotero. The easiest way is to just drag and drop them. But the tutorials -- which are short and straightforward -- will help you out.
-
Well I edited the local database, getting rid of all of the tags and starting afresh. Very nice! But I had the same experience as others above. In my online library, it seems that both the old tags and the ones I've created since the database e…
-
Aha! I've only started to use tags extensively so this makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
-
+1 for manual duplicate deletion (from the "duplicate items" bin). I've yet to encounter a situation where merging the duplicates was useful (although I'm sure there are some). What happens is that I will carelessly add an item twice, and all I…
-
Oops; sorry. But then we'll assume that the savvy devs in this world are following these boards anyway ;)
-
Curious... I've now e-mailed them on that, too, and linked to this page. I'll post the results here (should there be any). (Maybe they'll offer _you_ a job.)
-
You know, I saw that, the extra right bracket, but I thought, no, what do I know, that's got to be okay. But thank you! That definitely works now. Out of curiosity, I just checked a couple of their other online research handbooks, and they have…
-
Thank you, and thank you for replying so quickly, but it doesn't work! I just get a new "book section" document, with absolutely nothing in it except entries for "date added" and "date modified." I tried both stand-alone and FF extensions; same thin…
-
Hi, zuphilip -- Thank you for the tip, but I'm wondering if you'd provide a little more how-to detail. I'm not a total dunce technically, but am unfamiliar with running scripts like this. I did install the Firebug extension, and I did try, but …
-
Thank you! Would you be kind enough to elaborate a little on how to do this?
-
Deleted because I posted it elsewhere. Sorry!
-
Did the OP mean the right pane or the left pane (because it's the latter in which user-created collections folders appear). Is there a way to collapse the _right_ pane (i.e. the one with biblio info, notes, tags, etc.)? I've asked this bef…

Thank you, aurimas -- I've installed ZotFile, but it won't let me choose a directory on my tablet.* I open ZotFile Preferences, choose the "Tablet Settings" tab, and check the box that says "Use ZotFile to send and get files from tablet." I the…
