That doesn't make much sense to me — the desire is not independent of citation practice and academic field and my impression is that yours may not be the most common use case. In my experience, adding a citation to a different source than the last c…
-
So to be clear, srippon, you can simply copy and paste citation fields in Word and click edit citation to change the page number. The ibid should be automatically generated upon a Zotero refresh.
-
Really? Are we talking about the same thing? I regularly copy and paste a citation field, for instance when I quote multiple excerpts from a source. I have not used an ibid-generating style so I don't know whether that is handled correctly but in my…

I think result filtering is pretty central to the use of the quicksearch box in Zotero — especially when it becomes quick again (hobby-horse alert). I've observed quite a lot of users of Zotero, and they do tend to use quicksearch as a quick filter.…
-
I agree, search history for that box would make a lot of sense.

Only if you can reproduce the location of the website you saved the snapshot from, others can try it out on their systems. Three possibilities: (1) it's a problem that is specific to your system and/or to the time you saved this particular snapshot,…

I haven't cited using an ibid. type style, but what happens if you simply copy-paste the citation field and do a Zotero refresh? I would think that should work.
-
Try deleting the attachment from Zotero, emptying the trash (in Zotero), and then readding it from the original copy. If there are no file system problems and you're not doing anything special with that file (editing? other applications accessing it…

This is correct. You can currently only drag items across libraries, not whole groups or even collections.
-
Good point, I added that clarification to the post.

You don't actually need Zotero Standalone to connect with Chrome — you can simply connect Chrome with your Firefox library. I just tried the URLs mentioned in this thread and it works — they are added to the library perfectly fine, including the PDF…

I've never seen anything like this. Certainly it is not the kind of corruption that can occur in high-level applications like Zotero and Acrobat. It sounds more like a file system corruption to me. I would do a thorough disk check and look for corru…

Welcome to Zotero! The way to do this is to use the "prefix" field in the add/edit citation box for what you want to write before it (and suffix field if you want to put something behind it). In case of multiple citations ("multiple sources" in the …
-
The text of the user confirmation popup assumes that I "link" and "rename", whereas I do not link but attach, and do not let Zotfile rename the file. If you could rephrase it so that it is agnostic with regard to what I've chosen to let Zotfile do w…
-
Yeah, it works! Thank you very much.
-
I found a glitch in 1.6.2. Whereas 1.6.0 would give me the file name of the file to be attached, now I get "Do you want to rename and link the file 'undefined' ..." It still works though, in that it selects the right PDF. BTW, note the language h…

Agreed on the delete log — duplicates aren't the type of thing you'd expect to be kept in your Trash anyway.

posting here to mark as unread again, have to check this out tomorrow.

With all due respect for hypothetical technical disadvantages of one suggested way of doing preflight, with ajlyon I think it is important not to lose sight of the fact that many users are really looking for a simple preflight check more than a full…

I see now that it's actually worse than I thought: even when you add a collection or subcollection to a specific group library, the whole list of group libraries is simply reinitialized to the most unhelpful "expand everything!" mode. Why? And is it…
-
Note that if you use collections, you are already "able to just select the appropriate collection upon discovery". Items added while a collection is selected will be added to that collection. (And also in your "My library" root, 'tis true.) Have yo…

Zotero has extensive documentation. Check out the homepage, where you will find a link to word processor plugins. If you already used the Zotero word plugin with a previous version of Word, you may need to reinstall the Word plugin to get it to re…

To top off this thread with some helpful information, it has been possible all this time to connect Chrome with Zotero-in-Firefox (and with the browser-agnostic Standalone when a stable version is released). A lot less blood, sweat and tears would h…

Zotero supports thousands of websites. On topic: I've written a brief blog post on the option I mentioend above: how to connect Chome with Zotero (in Firefox).

Try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockquote_element for the boxes.

So for this pre-add check to be done right it needs to be fast. I propose this basic workflow: Upon adding a new item, check a low number of strategically chosen fields and assign a duplicate score according to some simple rules, similar to spam rat…
-
All works as advertised, thank you! I like the non-intrusive notices. The pulling behaviour is nicely sophisticated now. One comment on pushing/pulling: literally disabling (greying out) either option depending on the status of the attachment would…
-
It definitely makes sense to provide a move option between collections, but I'm not sure about copying file attachments (which would duplicate them on disk). One sometimes has PDFs that contain more than one item. In such cases it can be useful to c…

Here's a fifth potential setup, not mentioned by adamsmith: At my institution there are several research groups using (1) webdav storage supplied by the institute for personal libraries and (2) one paid Zotero account which supplies storage space t…

Dan wrote, in reference to adamsmith's options: Note that, for #2, you can't add links to files accessed through the filesystem within groups (since often they wouldn't be accessible from different systems), but you can add links to files accessible…
