After a restart it goes on for another 2% and halts with "Unexpected status code 0 in Zotero.Sync.Storage.Session.ZFS._getFileUploadParameters()". Error ID 864605602 (not very informative it seems).
-
Please search the forums to see whether this has already been requested. It has been, and you'll find plenty of threads explaining why this will probably not be done. Example.

Or do you mean the quick search field in Zotero? Because that does start searching immediately on text input and with a large this might lock up your system briefly. In general, it seems to me that Zotero may help your cause in online research rath…

I can't comment on using Zotero with voice recognition software. On opening PDF files in Firefox or outside of Firefox, see the "launchNonNativeFiles" hidden preference on the hidden prefs page. This allows you to force PDF attachments from Zotero t…

Just to give you some background — the CWYW citations in your EndNote-supported document are tied to your EndNote database with a system of codes that is transparent to EndNote only. That is the reason Zotero cannot recognize them. However, for a w…

I'm not sure that would be possible. Here's a possible solution: I simply have a bookmark for Google Scholar, called 'GS'. Even is the bookmark toolbar is hidden, Firefox's new address bar enables me to just type GS to go to Google Scholar.

This is great. Now there's a workaround to get rid of attachment names that hold repository info instead of actual filename: do an advanced search for Title="JSTOR Full Text PDF" (for example), select all, and choose "Rename File from Parent Metadat…

Neat! Thanks, I like the more informative mouseover tips while syncing!
-
+1 essential.

Look for 'recursive collections' on this page.
-
Dan or another dev, could you let us know whether this request has been noticed at all? It seems such a simple change to make and it would make so many users happy (or at least less confused)!
-
A technical note: it looks like lots of people are using tags to manage their workflow. If Zotero is going to offer things like automatic tagging based on tags in the cloud, it would be essential to distinguish workflow tags from content-related tag…
-
I also have a workaround like that, in the form of a second monitor where I put a fullscreen copy of Zotero. But it's kind of crazy that we're coming up with hardware workarounds for what should be solved at the software level. Really hope the Zoter…
-
JonEP's suggestion actually might be a reasonable workaround for the original date issue, which is quite urgent for several of us. That is, pass a string if the date cannot be fully parsed, which would give us 1983[1856] as a workaround for original…

Ah, I missed that earlier thread, which is very informative. The blog+ranking setup for Ideas is a good one. It's easy enough to build such a system with WordPress, too. Pick a good ranking plugin, use the TDO Forms plugin for various types/levels …
-
Any news on this?
-
A survey would be a reasonable start — though two inherent disadvantages of surveys as opposed to a dynamic 'Ideas' system as described above are (1) that someone (presumably a developer) has to preselect a finite list of issues, thereby already imp…
-
I agree with the previous posters that it is often difficult to find out whether a suggestion in the forums has been been considered, discussed, added to Trac, already implemented, or never will be implemented. One interface for user-suggested ide…
-
I know a new version of Zotero often produces a folder 'orphaned files'. This would be the other way around: missing files. Also, the error message when double-clicking a missing attachment could be more helpful. Right now it says 'The attached fil…
-
In my experience, when the developers here use the words 'in the near future', they mean something like 'in a matter of months not of years'. Even expressions like 'very soon', 'next week' or 'this months' have proven extremely flexible. No doubt th…
-
Wait, is it EndNote that says this?
-
Dan, can I ask again for the status of this issue? It does seem quite clear now that a significant number of users find the default behaviour confusing.
-
Totally agree. That would make perfect sense. Should not be too difficult to implement, too. Let's hope a developer comes by and enlightens us.
-
Here's how I do it, at least for chapters from edited volumes: 1. Save the book (container) from some repository, e.g. Worldcat, Google Scholar, or Library of Congress Catalog. (Check whether editors are listed as editors, &c. — for the library …
-
I agree on the desirability of unbinding backspace from delete in XP. It's unexpected behaviour for Windows users, and especially confusing in case of items in collections (where it removes items without asking for confirmation).
-
Same for me.
-
The problem in my first post is still there.
-
I have raised this before, curiously enough also based on WALS online. I don't see any harm in allowing 'editors' for web pages, especially since 'contributor' and 'translator' are already available.
-
I like it too (but I'm also not part of the dev team).
-
there will be many publications who might stipulate that this automation causes them major layout headaches. I don't think this is the case. I've never heard a publisher complain about footnote automation. To the contrary, it usually makes editing e…
