And you do need to write your thesis while alternating between Open Office and Word? I mean I've written a thesis but I would never dream of switching Word processors midway a monster project like that. Quite apart from whether that would work with …

Oh well I was trying to pick my fight. Obviously I agree with all of you above that it would be preferable to just enable comments on (some of) the blog posts. But I thought that was out of the question.

Neat plugin, thanks for developing this. Agree on buttons needing tooltips. Without an obviously linked documentation or help file it's important to get a quick idea of what the buttons do. /edit: ah, About text is found by right-clicking the house…

Does work with Chrome. For most of us. You can even connect Chrome with Zotero-in-Firefox, and jump on the Zotero Standalone bandwagon later when a stable version becomes available.

Find out what happened around 700 AM today. Check what version of Zotero you use and update if needed. Disable all Firefox extensions other than Zotero. Restart your system. This must be a local problem for you because for all of us (for me at least…

I second this. It is quite amazing to see how smoothly this all works for the end user. Great job.

And if I would rank these suggestions according to importance/urgency, it would be 1+7 - 6 - 3 - 5 - 2 - 4.

6. Use relative Dropbox URLs, with the system-specific part coded in the Zotero Reader settings. This would probably involve sth like a %Dropbox% variable in the PDF text field in background mode, rather than a hardcoded URL as it is now. I.e. on P…

Check out the page I linked to. It is all explained there.

@adamsmith, daniel is right though about Groups feeling half-baked (regardless of whether Mendeley does a better job at it or not). They are half-baked, at least user interface-wise. See for instance this topic, plus the inability to drag collection…

Sweet! I overlooked the Scan Reader function. In that case, scratch my proposal. I agree that the context menu is already quite full. This seals the deal for me. I'm going to donate. Though before releasing it to a 1.0 version, consider the followi…

Library size is not directly related. My library is approx 6000 main items (not counting attachments) and in small documents the word plugin is lightning fast. It's really the large documents with many citations that are a problem. I recognise delay…

Is the _READ tag customizable? What is it used for?
-
Background pushing and pulling works great; no time-lag! Clever solution, too (I never realised you could add notes to attachments directly like that). Foreground mode works still seems to work the same, including the long delays associated with det…
-
No experience with standalone yet. In any case, I found that inserting citations in chapters-as-separate-documents was not so slow at all. It is when you merge everything and include the bibliography that Zotero takes a lot of time checking and rege…

1. Did the person who upgraded your computer keep a backup copy of your documents and settings? Your Zotero library would be in there. Getting the library back would be a matter of pointing Zotero to the right location. See http://www.zotero.org/sup…

I have also occasionally seen this, and it seems to be gone when I restart Firefox. I've even seen a somewhat scary infinite recursion, with records showing up as attachments under other records recursively. Yet I know of no way to reliably reproduc…
-
...and add your voice to the thread here to ask the developers to give us a one-click action to do that for PDFs that are already in our libraries. That would make it possible to simply right-click the PDF and select "Create parent item for selected…

@Roxy075: Make sure you don't confuse the Zotfile core with the Zotfile Reader addon. "Attach New File(s)" is a Zotfile option that has nothing to do with the reader integration. All the reader integration is supposed to do is pushing files to a des…

Yes, user scenario 1 looks perfect for my kind of workflow, which also involves syncing across multiple clients. As far as I can tell, the pdf indexing happens when the attachment is changed from "imported" to "linked" (i.e. when I do a "push") and…
-
Sometimes it looks like it's uploading files but in fact it is just comparning local and remote versions to decide whether or not to upload. Could that be the case?
-
One other comment: It would be nice to have a way of syncing the changes without pulling the file back. (I.e. pulling removes the file from my readings folder, but often I just want to update and read on.) But that is something for later. Right no…
-
Cool, that's fast! Some questions though about this 0.1 version. I hope you don't mind. If I choose "Push file to reader" it seems to (1) copy the file to my Dropbox folder and (2) delete the attachment and link the file. Then when I choose "Pull …
-
Beautiful. Very happy with this version. Unlike (perhaps) many users, I use it not to organize my PDFs into folders (I don't mind Zotero doing that), but mainly as a way to cope with imperfect or missing translators. Get the reference into my librar…
-
Take a Paypal account. It's pretty easy to manage donations that way. I would be the first to donate. The workflow you describe would be perfect. I've been using GoodReader on the iPad in sync with a Dropbox folder. Right now I just drag files fro…
-
Me too.
-
I know of the "master document format", but I've been steering away from it because it seemed to offer little extra compared to just working in separate chapter files (in which cross-referencing also doesn't work of course). And one thing I read som…
-
It would absolutely sell like crazy. iOS & Android developers, take note!
-
I agree. Series autofill would be nice.

Tweaking existing styles according to your needs is not too difficult. You could be done in under an hour so it might be worth the effort. Here are some examples of simple edits.
