If anybody contacts Scopus re Zotero translators, please also complain about their ridiculous handling of PDFs. They require users to download a Java applet to even read PDFs, and it seems this is the reason that the Z translator is not fetching the…

I'm really starting to like the way folders work; and yet I feel also limited by the right-click > move to tablet interface, which makes it difficult and counterintuitive to move around items within folders on the tablet. Now I spotted the "Crea…

Thank you!

krueschan, I was thinking -- could perhaps you set up a demo library that allows people to get an impression of what the library view looks like?
-
So can we get such tags to not show up in autocomplete, or at least be visually differentiated from local tags?
-
Hm, this is a bit difficult to reliably reproduce it turns out. It still occurs sometimes, and factors impinging on it seem to include the time that FF has been running, how long ago the previous sync was, and what kind of information is being sync…
-
I'd like to reiterate the importance of giving users the option to not copy tags across when coying items across libraries. As I've argued, and as I think you know holds for many users, tags can be at least partly personal matter. Right now I'm ho…

Bugger. The problem with references from multiple libraries showing up in the Word plugin is still here, and it's really annoying. I'm switching back to classic view until a way to select libraries becomes available.

Oh well that wasn't so bad: we're up and running again. Thank you for listening to me documenting my troubles.

Update: went ahead and did Restore from Server after making a full copy of my Zotero folder. Got a "Your database is cleared, do you want to sync?" notice after restarting FF. Now FF is "Not Responding", there is no time indication, and the sync pr…

I'm also wondering whether this is the kind of situation in which one uses Restore (from Zotero Server); and whether Restore from Zotero Server deletes and re-gets just bibliographic metadata or also attachments. (This is not clear from the document…

And to add another note of comfort: I've written a full dissertation working with a 6000+ item library synced across four computers, with 10Gb of Zotero File Storage for my attachments. Over a period of two years of syncing (starting with the alpha …

Just being hopeful that this is seen by the devs and implemented as an easter egg for 3.0...

Yep that's the problem I had — and good catch too, DWL-SDCA, that was indeed the article I was having the problem with. Gee, so it's a problem with SD's metdata. I will report to them (tho from previous experience that means getting a load of emai…

I totally agree — I also find that I use the "related" feature a lot less than I would want to, just because it is such a PITA to actually relate items. I saw another UI suggestion fly by some time ago, where someone suggested relating items by dra…

Scan Tablet works for me on Windows XP on multiple computers, by the way. The Zotfile 2.0beta works really well. Some comments though: 1. Now that Zotfile works on multiple systems, one thing that wasn't immediately obvious is that you have to man…

Some of the previous threads requesting easier availability of item counts and pointing to the non-obviousness of the "Select all" procedure: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1218/item-count-in-collections/ http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/…

The basic confusion here stems from the fact that your team apparently decided not to go for the "Groups" feature but instead use one joint "personal" library for everyone. The problem is that this precludes people from having their own personal c…

The 35% meant that 35% of your free 100Mb was taken up by a attachments that were uploaded because you enabled File Syncing. See http://www.zotero.org/support/sync for more info on the difference between Data Syncing (the basic option, always there)…

Please read this: http://www.zotero.org/support/storage ; it may answer your questions.

Maybe others should report their experience, but just going on my own use of Zotfile, in over 50% of the cases I invoke a Zotfile function it is the "Add new attachment" function. That might just warrant its default inclusion in the main right-click…

Sounds beautiful. Look forward to telling our IT dept about this. Can it handle multiple user accounts? And if so, what do the user management tools look like, and could they be scripted/API-d/be made database-accessible?
-
Couple more issue of wording and UI: "Move" sounds dangerous. Most of us don't want to move but want to copy. "Send to tablet" is maybe a better option. Similarly, "Remove from tablet" sounds dangerous. I'm not just removing it, I'm getting it ba…

Just installed the Zotfile 2.0 beta. Everything seems to work smoothly and I'm very happy with the relative paths; now I can use the Tablet functions on multiple computers. Minor suggestion: all options have moved into a submenu, and I can see the …

But mayilo, you might want to check the recent work by Lera Boroditsky (WSJ.com article), the Economist debate about linguistic relativity between Boroditsky and Liberman (with many other scientists weighing in), or the recent book by Guy Deutscher …

See reporting bugs for more info on how to report problems in such a way that developers (in this case of the Zotfile plugin) can help out. Note that there are many other users of Zotfile on Mac out there, and they probably don't have this problem o…

Patrick, you don't give enough information about your system and on what you have tried for us to provide any helpful ideas. It may also help to familiarize yourself with the Zotero documentation. Re: iGoogle: Zotero has nothing to do with that — …

You have to give more information on your system: Windows, Mac, Linux? And on your Firefox version. And on your Zotfile version. Otherwise we're stabbing in the dark here.

@Greg, see this ancient topic for a similar proposal and Dan Stillman's comments on it, which I may as well quote here: There's a ticket for this dating back to December 2006, and we've actually planned to implement it since the very beginning of th…
