  • It is possible to write a utility to do this, but one currently doesn't exist. Of course, Scrapbook does not store citation information.
  • Zotero can highlight text on saved web pages and also save text snippets and individual images from a page. Please see the documentation and look at the screencasts to learn more about Zotero.
  • We are working on a utility (plugin) that will do this.
  • You should add EEBO to this discussion thread.
  • torsten: this is a planned feature, to be implemented after we move to a more flexible hierarchical item type model (that can then be extended by users).
  • On SSRN, see http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/626/ssrn/#Item_7.
  • We need to roll it into our code, after which your copy of Zotero should automatically update to use it within 24 hours. Thanks, Bill! We'll check it out and ship it out as soon as we can.

  • No, but we are working on a more comprehensive "reports" feature that might take care of this.
  • Click on the minus sign to the right of the attachment in the attachments tab for the item, or click on the arrow next to the item in the middle column to show all attachments and then highlight the unwanted attachment and hit the delete key.
  • Amazon and Google have technical barriers that prevent not only Zotero but most other software from auto-capturing pages inside books. (They want you to come to their sites to view these books and don't want people copying them.) However, open book …
  • Alas, no. Please see our FAQ on this. Of course, you'll be able to browse the Zotero server with Safari and it's not out of the realm of possibility that other kinds of plugins or bookmarklets could be created that would interact from within Safari …
  • Rachelle & CB (and the many others who have asked this question), We're grateful that everyone is really looking forward to the 2.0 features and appreciate all of the pep talks and thanks expressed on the forums. We are coding the 2.0 component…
  • Definitely, but given the new file format it uses it might take a little time.
  • The web page's title should show up above the two buttons in the right column, and you can click on that title to change it. You can't change it by clicking on the title in the middle column. In your example, try clicking once on the "AODV-UU and Mo…
  • Hi Chris, Thanks for being an avid user of the Center for History and New Media's tools! Scribe is indeed a terrific program and we are working closely with Elena (who is our friend and colleague) to make sure that its users have a smooth migration…
  • My project is prepared to fund any merge that needs to be done between John's and Ian's code to get a version we can all evaluate. Would you like us to do that? Sure--that would be terrific--many thanks, Peter. Please let us know how we can help ou…
  • First, I want to add my sincere thanks to John and Ian for all of their work on word processor integration. As I think we've all seen on these forums recently, this integration is critical for a lot of Zotero's users. (Alas, we tend to hear a lot wh…
  • I'm not familiar with the PNAS site but we initially had a similar problem with arXiv.org, which also has request throttling/banning. That problem was fixed by sending an explanatory note to arXiv.org explaining the legitimate use. In most cases whe…
  • Fred, Thanks so much for your thoughtful, interesting post on how Zotero might fit into and advance the semantic web. I'm all in favor of exploring how we might enable this; after all, one of the core missions of the project is to free up and excha…
  • Thanks for the advice, Erwan. We've had a lot of people ask about compatibility with Flock. We would be happy to promote this compatibility when Flock 0.8 comes out, and it would be great for Zotero to be featured on the Flock extensions site as wel…
  • Font resizing will be in Beta 4 (out very, very soon) in the preferences panel.
  • Please see my response to cartesian in another thread--rest assured that we are keeping track and that we're working on more improved and transparent tracking methods. (So no need to bump.)
  • We have a ticket to provide export to a Wikipedia citation (which could then be pasted into the edit text area on Wikipedia), and currently have a staff member working on CSLs--I'll remind him about this since we would really like to add Wikipedia s…
  • A quick couple of points on this very helpful thread: 1) Simon added unAPI support to the SVN today (and is working out some of the kinks). I think unAPI shows a lot of promise and hopefully having support for it in Zotero will help with adoption. …
  • Synching Zotero with Connotea will be possible with a utility we are working on in the Zotero labs. CiteULike can import from BibTeX (which Zotero can export to), but unlike Connotea, CiteULike doesn't have an API (unless I'm mistaken; please let me…
  • Yes, this would be possible with a Zotero utility. In the Zotero Labs we are currently working on a utility to synch Zotero and del.icio.us, which could be used as the basis for a Furl/Zotero utility. Or if you (or someone you know) has some experie…
  • Thanks for your helpful comments here and in other threads, cartesian. We really appreciate the commendation and should more frequently return the favor by saying how much we appreciate all of the active participants in the forums. We are very much…
  • We're glad you're finding the program helpful, Ed, and we're also about to release a number of new screencasts (videos) to show off some of Zotero's best features. The slight problem with the solution you propose is that there are some web pages, e…
  • There are a variety of reasons for the -228 error. You can try two things: 1) Download Zotero from our home page by right-clicking the "Download" button on a PC or control-clicking the "Download" button on a Mac, then selecting the save option. Sav…
  • Thanks for your two cents, Aaron. Zotero is not released under the AFL; it's under the Educational Community License. We chose this license to work in concert with other major educational open source projects that are trying to provide free and ope…
