We can't do anything with that without the Report ID. Ah, after clearing the debug log (70000 lines) and starting anew, I'm at least getting through with these. D1114024826 and report ID 1197115730. What the debug log says (and has said since yest…

Okay, clear. That won't be possible for the moment. Members of a group have access to everything (metadata, notes, attachments) in the group. I think that a more fine-grained permissions system would actually be very useful, but it is not there yet…
-
Here is another use case. I think it would make sense to have a permissions system with at least the following roles: 0. admin (all rights + group settings, members, etc.) 1. view & edit items & attachments 2. view items & attachments 3…

Works for me. Do you have a link to a specific item that doesn't work?
-
Then why have PDF attachments?

(ah, I now see that my remark was aimed at ajlyon's "no", not adamsmith's post)
-
+1 and sorry to be harping on issues that I cannot unfortunately help out with myself (being a mere scientist with no coding experience). @adamsmith, I agree — Zotero always needs more developers — but I do think it could use more agility also, pa…
-
Fully agree. To mount my own hobby-horse, I see a pattern here: all too often in Zotero development, essential and not so difficult-to-implement features are held back in anticipation of the Grand Final Featureset that will solve this and a thousand…

-
If the process has a problem, as it has three times, duplicates very quickly build up. Anytime you import from a file, a collection is created that contains all items imported. So if you find a problem with that particular import, you can easily del…

Aside: I don't know about anyone else, but I'm struck that the groups feature has not been as successful as I'd expected. It's really easy to point to quite a few probable reasons for this. Basically the Groups user interface (both on the web and i…
-
Seconded. I have a vague idea of some of the running grants (e.g. Zotero Commons) and some of them have been published on the blog, but it would certainly help to have an overview, also to point people to.
-
You don't provide much information about what you did or did not do. Here is a page that is really useful to read: Zotero Data Fundamentals. If you have a new laptop, and a new Zotero installed on it, then the library probably is empty because yo…

What adamsmith says. This depends on the citation style you choose. It is extremely unlikely that a crash would cause this.

I have posted in this thread multiple times and I will do so again because I am really surprised that the main UI of a piece of bibliographic software can apparently go without one of the most basic bibliograhic sorting principles for such a long ti…
-
Ah, that's why I've never bumped into it before. Thanks!
-
I think everyone understands and has taken on board your complaints about the current UI, there's no need to repeat them. Thanks for the reassurance Frank. I guess it didn't feel like that because the discussion was so open-ended. we're open to (ea…
-
The answer to the first question is simply yes. You enter a date whichever way you like. Translators enter dates whichever way they like. But all dates, insofar as they are parseable (= the great majority in most libraries), are displayed in a consi…
-
I would be happy with a few improvements to the interface here too. - Make reordering possible - Collapse all but the most recently used group (right now all groups and collections are expanded by default, makes for a lot of clutter)
-
I' a bit unclear as to why this thread suddenly fell silent. Dan, Bruce, Rintze, have you seen my replies to your comments? From Dan's first comment I gather that he agrees that the proposal is sensible: But generally speaking, I could see displayi…
-
See my suggestion here.
-
Dan/others, have you ever considered that it would be a good start to at least do a summary duplicate check when adding new items? In fact this would solve most of the problem in personal libraries. Note that the very first post in this thread (and …
-
Just to note: this discussion is primarily about the date field in the metadata panel, but indeed, much the same holds for the "Date" column in the middle panel. In particular, that column, too, perpetuates idiosyncrasies for no good reason. Consist…
-
Responding to Bruce: First, for people who might be more familiar with the field, is there any user-interface research out there that might provide support for this proposal? I'm not very familiar with the field, but in this case I think the basic …
-
Responding to Rintze: My preference would be to keep the current behavior of showing the unparsed date in the date field. Otherwise some fields will show a parsed date, while others will show an unparsable/unparsed date, and I don't know how a) you'…
-
Responding to Dan: If we did this, "unparsed stuff" would probably have to mean "the entire field as is, if it doesn't parse cleanly", because the order of the data is lost after parts are pulled out during parsing. I have no problem with this. My w…
-
Also note that you have to do a restart to fix the window position.
-
This looks great! But I have the same issue with window position. Where can I find this .gnotero file? Not in Gnotero's home folder, not in My Documents... /edit, ah, found it, in the root folder of my user account on WinXP. Thanks!
-
Okay. So it really is a UI problem. I've seen many reports here of people thinking that the grey bold text to the right of the field indicates the order in which Z has parsed the input (this is also thomassprinzing's issue, above). So I have "March …
