The Sync Alpha version that was beta-tested was not in sync with the 1.0 trunk (some bugs were still there that were already fixed on the trunk). What about this Sync Preview version? Does it have everything that 1.0.6 has plus syncing, or is it aga…

While upgrading an empty database on another system (created simply by pointing Zotero to another storage folder), I got the error reported under # 261132025. Basically 'file not found' it seems, but it doesn't tell which file. Deleting the empty d…

Do note that not only the database structure is updated, but also the way the attachments are organized in the /storage subfolder. It would be good to mention this on the Sync Preview page. Because syncing of attachments is not yet implemented I e…

What is the user supposed to do? Rebuild the collection by online searching *again* for the papers and the associated metadata he already have? No, this isn't needed if you already have the metadata. If you can do what you describe (import the metad…

It would actually be quite handy to be able to run your own Zotero Server. And put all your attachments on it.
-
Hi Iboccia, there are lots of existing topics about this issue in the forums. Just search for 'sync'.
-
Yes, correct. The reason is that none of these tree applications (Zotero, Refworks, and Endnote) speak each others' languages — they all use different (and incompatible) approaches to maintain a link between the citation and the actual record in you…

What is the font specified in your 'Normal' or 'Default paragraph' style? You may have applied Times New Roman to your body text, but this basic style (underlying most other styles) may still be specifying Calibri (as it does by default in Office 20…

This topic has been dormant for a long time, but I have the exact same problem. However, I hope it is not the case that I need to give up fulltext indexing just to be able to delete items. Does this specifically have to do with fulltext indexing r…

(I, for one, have had no problems syncing Zotero files with SyncToy.)
-
Andersunz, you can find more background information on this here (style repository) and more specifically here (creating citation styles). You could ask tonyc2001 to send you his customized style, or you can apply the change yourself. It's probabl…

I get a 404 there...

Just a meta-note: wouldn't it be a good idea to make this topic a sticky?
-
Beautiful ideas, Luc. Task-based interfaces are definitely the way to go for a powerful application like Zotero and I think the four main tasks which you distinguish will be recognized by the majority of users. So I would be all for radical UI impro…
-
Having the checkbox in the context menu would be a fine idea. Good points re the tying to record types. Probably not worth the extra complexity then.
-
3. Perhaps field visibility settings should be tied to record types, as quite a number of fields are restricted to certain record types anyway. In short, please enable users to hide rarely used fields intervening between common ones - e.g. the Abst…

Thanks, all. I conclude that I just leave out the information. It is, I agree with Bruce, not urgently needed anyway.
-
Trevor, your links don't work. They do now.
-
I'm bumping this too because 'in press' and the like are really essential. I like Bruce's suggestion of a simple drop-down menu of 'status'. The clever stuff can come later.
-
[Or should this go under plugins?]
-
It is not, as of currently, but I agree that it would be a nice feature. As soon as you drop a PDF on a record, Zotero would have enough information to autorename it. I figure it could be relatively trivial to extend the current autorename feature t…

Which is... remind me, in 1.5 or 2.0?
-
bgms, I do the same (having the Zotero db on a networked volume) and I don't have any problems with the new JSTOR or any other translator.
-
It would be even nicer (and more intuitive) if we just could rearrange the order within a multiple sources citation. Now it is set in stone according to the order in which you entered them (if you switch alphabetization off) and you have to delete a…
-
The major problem of that method is that you lose all the flexibility that Zotero could give you if you would put different kinds of data into different fields. To me, it is against the whole point of citation management to fill the publication fiel…

I'm tacking on to this thread since I have a similar question. What to do with multiple volume books of which the volumes have titles? Take Greenberg's (1978) Universals of Human Language, for example. It consists of four volumes, all with their ow…

Adobe Acrobat (the full or professional versions, not Adobe Reader) offers a quick-n-dirty OCR engine which works fine most of the time. I often use it to OCR scanned papers.
-
Ah, I see. Then it's good that I started this one after all.
-
I think an argument could be made either way Since the argument can be made either way, would it make sense to provide for an option to always have the reference to a PDF mirror its filename? I for one would be using that option, and the confusion…

Just for reference, here is the earlier thread about the same problem. Glad to see this will be fixed in future versions.
