I agree that the behaviour adamsmith describes adds to the occassional counterintuitiveness of the quick format box. Somehow the ordering of edit/select/delete processes in the quick format dialog is wrong.
-
That makes sense. In that case, we would be served well with an added "administrator" role. Proposal amended accordingly. I would appreciate any information on how this proposal fares in the eyes of the developing powers that be. From the many thr…

@clio_13, yeah, I used "owner" because that is the current term but there should definitely be the possibility to have more than one owner, as I also noted in the proposal. That limitation is one of the annoyances of the current system.

I am on Windows 7, have also noticed it on Windows XP.
-
I'd like to highlight the importance of fixing #35. It is remarkable how many users are thoroughly confused by the distinction between attachment label (= translator) and attachment filename. To reiterate, it is confusing because (1) attachments ar…

Bump — has this been seen? I still run into it now and then, and it just hurts me to know that Zotero has most of the code to handle this more gracefully except for some pieces of UI.
-
Just started a thread with a specific proposal here.
-
I like the points by longtalker & adamgolding and I can see the use of an optional column for number of pages in pdf.
-
I love the latest Zotfile updates, Joscha!
-
Yeah, my initial formulation was a bit confused but essentially that is the problem that remains, and that is still bothering me too. We need a way to separate tag data of group libraries. And relatedly, I really really want a way to ensure that my…
-
Bump. Please pretty please add Tags to the list of things (now including Notes and Files) that can be excluded from being copied over into groups or out of groups.
-
I agree with the requests for search persistence or at least an option to quickly rerun the last search.
-
Note that in Z version 3.0 beta, you can delete duplicates in the local library using the special "Duplicate Items" interface. This would probably prevent the trash problem from happening. Agree though that Zotero should flag entries as missing as …

FYI, this is what the Adobe ribbon section looks like in Word. Icons are larger indeed than the 16x16 Silk icons from which most Z icons are derived. Some people mention FatCow icons as a worthy 32x32 replacement of Silk. With 2400 icons to choose …
-
Joscha, could you please update the ZotFile website with links to the newest beta's? I like to be able to check what the latest version is without trailing this thread for updates. And what happened to the Addons listing? Would be great if it could…
-
Apparently done.
-
Good to hear that some of these things are already fixed. For reference, the add-by-identifier UI suggestion was #31 on the previous page, but also a separate thread here. Could I perhaps suggest that someone more Github-savvy occassionally trail t…
-
I've previously used the "import by identifier" function with both 10 and 13 digit ISBNs. Note that multi-author import works fine indeed with the new one.
-
Does ISBN import use this updated version of the translator? If so, these are issues I run into: 1. Name of (last) author imported with a period 2. Some ISBNs don't work (e.g. 0313304483) (How do I revert to the old translator?)
-
Look forward to testing this. Here's me again on subfolders. I suggested before that the subfolder structure might be read in (and synced) from a Zotero collection with subcollections. Now I realize that whatever subfolders I defined can be found i…
-
@DWL-SDCA, I can't bring up much respect for someone who apparently says to people in her field of study, "I want you to waste your time checking out al the crazy little style details in my book and then hand-crafting your references, because I'm ma…
-
That would be great. The problems with creators (my points 1-3) are the most serious and it sounds like these would be partly solved by using RIS instead of COinS. I fully understand that metadata providers differ in how they handle publishers and p…

I am logged in, translators are reset and updated, ScienceDirect appears when I hover over the URL icon, and it doesn't work for me. Example URLs that are not working: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0378874183900363 http://www.s…

Objecting to an imperfect implementation seems reasonable; working with whoever coded the style to improve it is better. Objecting to automatic generation for fear of decreasing book sales is sheer madness and a great example of the debilitating eff…
-
Sure! I understand that you don't want to delay release now. As they say, release early, release often.
-
Yup. I have been adding papercuts only here, under the (naive) impression that they were automagically added on github or trac. Am not particularly keen on maintaining yet another account (same reason I avoid commenting on Trac or zotero-dev)...
-
I have seen no movement on this issue unfortunately...
-
@mronkko, thanks for the elaboration on the caching rules. This sounds a lot like how the Dropbox app works on iPad (with caching done based on which folders you browse and which files you look up). The disadvantages are the same: what happens exact…
-
Just read the Zotero dev discussion and the ZotPad description. Exciting. In the dev thread it is pointed out that downloading the whole library or downloading on demand are not the only options. But no good example is given of a possible middle gr…

Glad to see the interaction with Google Scholar is being improved. I note, though, that parabuys' comments make this once again a thread (along with another recent example) in which problems surface that have to do not just with the code but also wi…
