> 2) The PDF viewer in the beta version does display and extract annotations made in other PDF readers This is not working for me. I created a highlight and an associated comment/annotation in Acrobat DC, saved the pdf, closed it, and opened the…

Not that I'm aware of; I am still interested in better integration of Zotero and Freeplane. Freeplane has a plug-in architecture available, but I don't have the skills to use it. If anyone is interested, check here: https://github.com/freeplane/grad…

Does this apply across personal and group libraries? When I type "New Yor", one suggestion I get is "New York ; London". I just did an advanced search for Place|contains|New York ; London, and there are no results. In fact, typing "New Yor" into t…

I have this same issue and like @bwiernik 's suggestions. I know this has been discussed before and the devs prefer to clear the search field when changing collections, but a way for users to prevent this at times would be nice.

I see in https://www.zotero.org/support/requested_features that batch editing is "tentatively scheduled for Zotero 5.2". Can anyone confirm whether this is still the plan? I have been hoping for / looking forward to this feature for many years.

Yes, I know you can click on the column a second time, I just figured after double-clicking for many years, I would ask if it was avoidable. I agree that nearly everyone wants descending for Date Add and Date Modified. Maybe if someone comments tha…

When I click the connector on that web page, I get a window pop-up that says "An error occurred while saving this item. See Troubleshooting Translator Issues for more information." The web page doesn't have a DOI. And no item appears in my Zotero li…

Thanks for the tip! I tried adding with the 'New Item' menu and didn't see 'web page' there (although in retrospect, I could have used 'blog post'). I didn't think to try right click—maybe the connector error message and/or the translator troublesho…
-
Thanks, deleting the wrong pdf and re-attaching it worked to default open the correct one.
-
I see in that thread that the Zotero team is evaluating what to do with frames generally. At minimum it would be good to allow users to change the setting. Of course the user could do SingleFile separately after the fact, but such a setting would sa…

Markdown users may also be interested in this add-on: https://github.com/argenos/zotero-mdnotes

Thanks. For others trying to do this, setting the Quick Copy format to a specific format is actually a bit tricky - check instructions here: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo/blob/master/docs/COMMANDS.md

Well, I suppose I exaggerated with "many", but one thing is editing the name of an attached file, and another is going from editing a note to the quickfind field (ctrl-f is captured by the note editor). And two of my frequently-used functions are ve…

Thanks. I see some old threads mention keyconfig, which doesn't work anymore. If anyone knows of any way to add more keyboard shortcuts to Zotero (other than Zutilio) using changes to preferences, add-ons, etc. please mention them here. I have done …
-
I would love keyconfig-like functionality in Zotero. My current attempts to use it with keyboard alone involve AutoHotKey, but that doesn't work for a number of functions for various reasons. I wish I could program a plug-in for this. Since I can't…

Hi @ejt, I'm not sure if it's a solution or not, but I described my workflow in the discussion I linked above. Basically, quotes I want to connect to a concept are hand copy/pasted into a child note for a placeholder item with the topic name. One s…

@dstillman, you wrote "One model here would be the old keyconfig extension for Firefox/Thunderbird, which let you assign custom code snippets to keyboard shortcuts. (I actually use that in Thunderbird many times a day to open the URLs for Zotero For…

@bruit I came across this thread while looking for improved ways to organize quotes in Zotero. Have you made any progress on that part of your plan? You might be interested in this thread on that topic: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/77809/be…
-
I'll share my current workflow in hopes that people have suggestions to improve it. The problem I'm aiming to solve is how to find/organize quotes related to a given topic but from different sources. Every item I take notes on is a PDF or is conver…

I have just noticed that Amazon URLs with a reference at the end show in my Zotero connector as a web page, while the same URL with the reference removed show in the connector as a book. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9XTLJ8/ref=dbs_a_def_rw…
-
With the Zutilo add-on, there's a 'create book section' command that makes it easier to create sections and it also automatically relates the sections to the book item.
-
@lunastev, thanks, that did work for me. Unfortunately, it seems to work only when editing the note in the Zotero window, and not when editing the note in a separate window. Re: options, I mean that when I go to Zotero | add-ons | Markdown Here and…

@dstillman, I see a ticket was created here with the comment that it will be limited to "individual words". I separate words in my tags with "." or "_" characters for various reasons. So if my tag is "Alfred.B.Giles_1963" will a search for "1963" fi…

Re: @gurdas 's comment about drag & drop updating, I think @dstillman agreed that there should be a merge/update functionality when copying items between libraries but I'm not sure if it is a currently planned feature. I am also finding it hard…

Restarting didn't work but rebooting fixed it. Thanks.

Thanks, it never occurred to me to try that!

On reflection, I see my original question was about using quick search. When doing a "title, creator, year" quick search the "title" matches include book titles and proceedings titles. @bwiernik suggested using advanced search, but I got tied up in …
