Are "open-pdf" links only supposed to work within Zotero now? For PDF files with bookmarks, in Zotero, I can find the following link when I select the PDF attachment. Within Zotero, if I click on the hyperlink text, Zotero shall open a PDF file with…

@dstillman Thank you for clarifying! I managed to restore the Zotero installation on two Windows machines. Here are the steps that have been verified to work for two times (on two Windows 10 machines with newly refreshed OS). I was still trying to c…

@dstillman I think you are right. The missing add-ons are those that has compatibility issues. One example reporting failure to install Better BibTeX with Zotero 5.0.85: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/issues/1483 I will look in…

I see. Let me check my add-ons ==> Quickly, I recall opening the Add-on page on the old installation and confirming that Zotfile did not have anything new to update. And, the features of Zotfile is working perfectly on the old installations: it w…

>> Yet, I cannot quickly select the "Report" type by simply pressing R on the keyboard. > You can just press R twice. Well, hitting the R twice works under the premise that there is no "# of Pages" info for the current record. Upon t…

Thank you for clarifying that ~/Zotero fodler is meant for storing data, and "AppData\Roaming\Zotero" is the profile directory. I was not quite aware of the difference (._.) And, I have been relying on Zotero's server for syncing the records. Now…

Thank you for your quick reply. Though, this is my original impression of how migration between Windows computers should work. And, per my recent testing, it failed twice on two Windows 10 machines. Indeed, I was copying from a "full installation" …

Fantastic! It is super helpful to learn about the Firefox analogy!! Simple takeaway: 1. Zotero is built from Firefox, and its profile settings are all located in one place. 2. "-P" is a useful flag to switch/set user profiles 3. It is super safe to…

Thanks a lot! Especially for clarifying that there should be no side-effects. Two questions follow: 1 is more general, and 2 could be answered by a simple yes/no. 1. Any insight on what *actually* goes into the `xxxx.default` profile? Settings + "c…

To add to the discussion, here goes two concerns per my test of "overwriting" to the XXXX.default folder. 1. Are all the plugins/add-ons also stored in such XXXX.default folder? If so, when "copying Zotero settings+profiles" to a new machine, can I…

@adamsmith Thank you for pointing me to bwiernik's answer. I was bugging him/her there too. Yes, I am looking to backup the settings/preferences in particular. I have tested the following procedure and I am 95% confident that it should replicate w…

@bwiernik Does copy-pasting the contents in the profile_dirctory/somethin_random to the new location (under another random_name.profile) folder suffice? I am re-asking the question in this post: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/74452/how-to-back…

@bwiernik Many thanks for naming the Zutilo. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Any idea how to "back up" those super-helpful shortcuts? Does it nest under Zotoro settings? Nor do I have any clue how to "back up" Zotero settings.

@MrMvMan could you please be more precise? I am not that familiar with "mime-type" as you have mentioned. Is it a native function to Zotero? Or, is it a Linux specific setting? I have also looked up in the “about:config" for Zotero, but was not con…

Looks good; thank you for pointing out the sourcecode.

Thank you for clarifying; will just use tab-completions to navigate the options once I have time. Shall also post my list of mappings to this post. I am not sure about Vimperator + Zotero Standalone. I was using Vimperator + Firefox + Zotero Adds-o…
