Has no one else had this problem, or is no one able to reproduce this issue?
-
I see - I got linked and stored files confused. I store my files in Dropbox using a symbolic link from the Zotero "storage" folder to a "storage" folder in Dropbox. I have symbolic links like this on several computers, all to the same Dropbox f…

Can you explain what "base-mapped fields" are? I can't figure out the logic of which fields have hover-overs and which don't.
-
Yes, I've tried leaving it for 2 days. I'm not sure if it's planned, but some sort of progress indicator would be useful to see if it's hanging or making progress. Does the fact that it takes more than 2 days mean that something is wrong? I've als…

One more question: For pdfs, is the full-text content tied to the pdf itself such that if a pdf attachment is deleted from an item, then the full-text index is also deleted from the item? I am wondering based on your comment that the full-text cont…

Perfect, thanks!

I'm trying to remove duplicates between Zotero, Calibre, and .pdfs that may or may not be in either. There are a lot of records, so I'm trying to figure out a way to automatically do the comparison, and Excel is the program I'm most familiar with th…

I actually started this comment with a long description of the non-malicious thought process that led me to my initial question, and then I realized that there's no reason I should be asked to justify asking a basic question about Zotero. Encouragin…

I am confused about the nature of the organization responsible for Zotero. The "about" page says: "Zotero is a production of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. It is generously funded by the United States Institute of …

I am having this problem also (XUL Runner crashing & having to close Zotero Standalone), but I am not synching attachments with Zotero or a WebDav server. I get the error only when adding pdf documents to items, so I'm wondering whether it is r…

1. I don't have hover-over on Windows 7 either. Maybe there could just be a search FAQ somewhere for potentially confusing things rather than a long documentation. 3. Got it, thanks. >> I don't really understand those settings either, I jus…
-
Just realized a problem with the strategy proposed for 3. If you don't include parent and child items, it doesn't work. If you do include them, you get items included that *do* have digital versions if the item also has another attachment (such as a…

>> 1. Is there somewhere in the documentation with a clear description of the meaning/use of the Advanced search categories? > 1. no Will someone do this, or help me do it? I obviously don't know the meaning of these things myself. One qu…

I have comments on many of the points brought up here, but before starting a discussion on whether there is an effective way to collect user feedback, Dan's comment makes clear that the central issue regarding user feedback has nothing to do with im…
-
Oh, the search box also clears upon adding an attachment to an item, which I would prefer not to happen.
-
Hi, is there a ticket for preventing the search window from clearing upon deleting an item? I would find this fix tremendously helpful. Incidentally, how can I search existing tickets to check something like this?
-
I was able to install it in Zotero Standalone by modifying the .rdf file as you suggested. You can do this yourself AT YOUR OWN RISK by doing this: download the add-on .xpi file change the extension to .zip extract the add-on to a folder open insta…

I'm still not quite there. It seems that in order to add a locate engine, I need to make a webpage with certain information in the section, and then add the lookup engine using Zotero's locate menu. When I use the Amazon lookup example with a Zoter…
-
Yes, I saw that page, but once I modify the template, what do I do with it? Where do I put it so it will work in Zotero?
-
My workaround is to duplicate a 'book section' item. Then you have to change only the title, author, and page numbers.
-
(Also, this doesn't address the original issue on this thread, but we have ways to do that now too.) Does this mean that there are ways to do the type of search I described in the first post? If so, is this being worked on? (Not a complaint, just cu…
-
But when disabled, it could show a disabled version of the icon, with the same message it shows now, but as a rollover. Excellent suggestion--this seems to address all the issues mentioned on this topic.
-
Yes, if I was clear on the Zotero meaning of 'item', the Locate menu would have made more sense. Well, the distinction here is that the Locate menu is essentially a context menu, not a regular menu, and context menus do change. It's certainly less c…
-
Although it may not make sense, since the lookup engines are selectable with check marks in the 'manage lookup engines' panel, which was the only selectable item I saw, I interpreted 'no items selected' as meaning 'you have not selected any lookup e…
-
Wow, there's two hours of my life I'll never see again. :) Is this sort of thing in the documentation? I'm happy to add it if there's a straightforward way. This is far from the first "obvious" thing I've spent too much time figuring out. …
-
I spoke too soon! It seemed to work, then reverted to the state described in my first post. I removed everything Zotero from my computer, rebooted, re-installed, and still can't get the default lookup engines to show. Help, please....
-
Solved it myself. Deleting all copies of engines.json on the computer and reinstalling both the extension and the standalone caused the menu to appear properly.
-
Thanks for the helpful responses. adamsmith, you were right about 1. On 2, ctrl+A is super-helpful--is that shortcut documented anywhere? Also on 2, how long should it take? I just indexed a 400 pg. book and it took about 2 minutes. 5000 …
-
One other idea--can you just have "shift focus to next pane" (and previous pane) as user-defined keyboard shortcuts? They could be blank as default.
-
Thanks! So I guess the main issue was that I didn't realize that the Zotfile menu had changed and no longer included 'Zotfile' in the menu choices. Out of curiosity, why did you choose to do that? I may not be the only one who finds that confusing. …
