The PDF retrieve metadata functionality is still very much underspecified UI-wise. It can hang indefinitely for no discernible reason, doesn't have an option to skip after a user-settable timeout, etc. For references, here is an old thread with a h…

This is a very freaky requirement indeed. It is difficult to style footnote references in Word. My advice would be not to worry about it until the very last moment — then you'll either face supervisors who don't even notice it (lucky you) or they'll…

Right. Getting the PDFs back from Goodreader might be more involved, judging from the way I se this happening for, e.g., PDFs sent from Safari to Goodreader (essentially it's a one-way street to Goodreader). Does iOS provide for the possibility of b…

FWIW, I think it's sensible to develop for iPad first. A Zotero app for smartphone is likely to have quite different use cases (who does annotation and PDF reading on a smartphone?). One of the most widely used PDF readers and annotators on iPad is…

Well I had it just like that in the document, and with the previous beta version the "in press" from the date field would still show up. This is the first time I've seen that CSL style error so it appears to be connected to some change in 3.0b3.
-
38) Throw an error when a user attempts to add a customized style that doesn't validate. Right now drag and drop for invalid styles fails silently, leaving users needlessly clueless.
-
This does indicate that it would be helpful if Zotero threw an error if a particular style failed to validate, instead of failing silently. Added to the papercuts thread.
-
This earlier thread, though about a separate bug, does seem to indicate other users' need for some kind of UI indication that the information is being processed.
-
You are too close to give up. Please share the file here (e.g. via pastebin), I want to see if it works on my end, and if it does, I'm going to tell you the exact steps I took to install it.

Quite agree that some kind of visual editor would be helpful to users. That said, I have collected some tips on the simple kinds of edits that you often find yourself wanting to make on my blog — simple citation style edits, along with a brief exp…

37) Add UI to allow the tagging of multiple items in the right pane where people expect it. It is really striking how often this comes up in the forums (it was the topic of my first posting here back in 2007 and it came up for a brand new user yest…

Very exciting. I do hope ZotPad will support offline work too. One of the prime use cases I imagine will be putting papers in a collection and reading and annotating stuff from that collection on long travels or other offline moments. The expectatio…

Heard back from SD: Thank you for your email. We are aware that a single author name is not exported correctly. We expect this issue to be solved by our next release on the 7th of januari. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this is causing. Kind rega…

1. Check whether file syncing is enabled on both sides (Preferences > Sync tab) 2. Check whether you are not running out of space (ZFS comes with only 100Mb of free space and a large file on one side can stop the rest from syncing)

"Invert first/last name" would work as a context menu option. The logic of having it as a context menu option fits with the existing Transform Text option for titles, which also changes the field content rather than just effecting the display of it.…
-
Fair enough; but I do think by far the most common use case across the whole userbase is adding single attachments, so it would still make sense if there were an option to enable this.
-
36) (Related to 35) Also auto-rename add an option to auto-rename PDF attachments that are manually added. If renaming is done for translator-added PDFs it should also be possible to enable it manually added PDFs. /edit: reworded in response to mr…
-
35) Provide an option for the attachment label to always mirror physical file name. Many users either do not know that their PDF is already autorenamed or are confused by the unexpected distinction between attachment label and attachment file name. …
-
Here's the thing: nobody knows this, but under the hood, the file is probably already named the way you want it. Zotero has this crazy distinction between Attachment Label (the thing you see in your library middle pane) and Attachment Filename (whic…
-
So you use Zotero always on the same computer but sometimes you're connected and sometimes you're not? Or do you use Zotero on different computers?
-
34) The quick search in the classic add citation dialog in the Word plugin should show only top level items in the Titles+Creators search mode, just like the client. Right now child attachments appear expanded if the search word also happens to occu…
-
33) Add Tags to the things that can be excluded when copying items across libraries. (General pane in Zotero Preferences currently includes possibility to not copy child notes and attachments. It should be possible to exclude tags in the same way be…
-
32) Show item counts in the right pane when no item is selected — e.g. X items in this library, X items in this collection, X items with this tag, X items found. The current method of having to do a Select All before you see a count is notoriously u…
-
31) The add item by identifier UI should clearly distinguish between "receiving user input" and "processing user input". Greying out the input field (keeping the input) and stopping the cursor from blinking would be enough. (Right now at least on W…

There is a message about moving files, but no notice that if the folder contains files that were not put there by Zotfile, it won't be deleted. Something like "Can't delete, the folder not empty."
-
Deleting subfolders does not work on Win7/Z3/FF8. Zotfile nicely asks me what to do with the attachments in the folders, and when I choose one of the options (e.g. remove from reader) it does something with the attachments in the folder, but the act…

Thank you!

You can always find all items, filed and unfiled, under "My Library". Moreover you can sort by date added and even create a saved search for items added in the last seven days, for instance. See Zotero tips #6 and #8. From My Library you can drag a…
