  • Still using Second Copy, including, now, to back up my Zotero folder from my c:\users folder to Dropbox. this permitted me, as well, to copy it from there to a 2nd computer. While one might think this isn't necessary, given with autosync, you always…
  • This is much like a 2018 discussion, and yes, it works! I have hundreds of "collections" in my library and many sub-folders, and scrolling time is burdensome. I now just highlight the library, press - and the library closes along with all folders an…
  • Adamsmith, thanks! I have a new Covid-19 group database: Addressing Human Needs Amid the Covid-19 Pandemic. We are adding oodles of items without TAGS and don't even have TAGS decide upon. The worry is if we don't do this now it is too late. I'm …
  • Would this 5.2 batch editing feature permit searching for a subject word and then adding globally a TAG? I used Procite for decades and then had to advocate for Endnote to have many of the same equivalent features and now need them in Zotero! (:}
  • I love this example:https://www.healthpathwayscommunity.org/Research-Hub/Publication-Database Hoping to network with someone from a Kerko/Zotero database done on a university server, as I'm building this: https://www.zotero.org/groups/2486746/addres…
  • Re: enhancement request for search forums: it does support exact quote searches, thus I was able to find "Is it possible to merge an Endnote library into a Zotero library?" but likelihood of posts to the proper thread would be enhanced by TI="conten…
  • Yet another! It seems hard to search for people. I can't even find myself! This isn't, perhaps, a Zotero 5 request, but I'd unclear how to find specific people and I don't see documentation on this. Most of the searching documentation is on searchi…
  • I see now, you are correct. I must have bookmarked some documentation and confused it....
  • The documentation is very impressive. Note: the current EndNote output style for Refman (RIS) now includes the L1 - `File Attachments|` in all document types! Whether they know it or not, this may make it easier for people to move to Zotero! Ano…
  • To respond to @adamsmith belatedly, since I see Zotero does a great job of remembering the discussion forums you have participated in, I suspect that I can use "sub-collections" much like Endnote uses "groups". This should suffice.
  • Another enhancement request: The search engine for Search Forums searches full text, but it would be helpful if there could be the capacity to search discussion forum titles only as an option. Additionally, a browseable and sortable (date, title) l…
  • One enhancement request is this: When you go to Help, Error Report and support an error, you get a pop up window with ID number. If you are a neophyte like me or a student like those I hope to assign to use the program, you won't know to copy it. …
  • I see now from the pages for Changes not syncing, and related pages I'm bookmarking: https://bookmarkos.com/f/QlMP2G-kU5M You are supposed to report the ID and not post the material. I didn't copy and retain the ID report; just a suggestion, if it…
  • Ok, I sent in the error report and thought about copying it and posting it but it seemed overly long. I'll keep using and see, perhaps this was a temporary problem. I'll read Changes Not Syncing and return.
  • Got it, I had just actually gone back to the beginning and saw that the procedure was to start a new thread with [5.0 Beta] at beginning, thanks much.
  • Sebastian, as I made clear, I was using the 5.0 Beta version of the standalone. Perhaps I should have clarified, I'm using Firefox connector, as my installation followed all advice. As I understand it, Firefox connector is what I should be using. …
  • Hello, new user basically. Our university is discontinuing Refworks and so I've decided to make the leap for databases I build for course work (my own work is in Endnote where I have very databases). I really don't want my students to have to make…
  • I'm also heavily invested in groups within EndNote. I see how to sort of add group names as keywords so they get recognized as Tags in Zotero, the key being presumably to not use generic keywords but say put your initials before each such as MD Nee…
  • Hi all, longtime Procite, Endnote, Refworks user here, new to Zotero. Adam's question is like one long ago. The solution is simple and is in the documentation. In Firefox or your browser implementatiosn of Zotero, click on Z, go to the Gear at lef…
