Also, this might help when searches are cleared when jumping from a PDF to the library
-
This would be a super helpful feature. It would allow to keep two searches open at the same time, which is something I constantly try to do :-)

My original problem of @plural="true" was fixed by updating pandoc to the latest version
-
My suggestion was to use the as a work-around for what the original poster tried to achieve. But Zotero has now moved to CSL 1.0.2 and "collection-number" should now have the correct data type.
-
I am trying to understand this behaviour. Shouldn't produce the plural independent of context and would thus allow the asked for feature? Writing my own CSL and using pandoc with citeproc indicates that this isn't how things work, but I am at a los…

@martynas_b good point. Some of the PDFs were indeed digitised books. I closed all tabs, restarted Zotero, and opened six publisher-provided PDFs of journal articles published in the last months. Each of these PDFs has been annotated within Zotero. …

Thanks for replying. Zotero starts at 1,13GB without any PDFs open and a library of 1865 references. I open 4 PDFs each between 1,9 and 4,9MB in size and memory jumps to almost 2GB. Another two PDFs of the same size and Zotero oscillates between 2,2…

Just a quick addendum: the legacy reference manager Sente uses less than 1GB even when I open two very large databases with 20000+ references each, with multiple PDFs and other attachments equally opened in tabs.
-
I second this suggestion. Ideally, one could also have the PDF as a separate pane either below or to the right of the reference list. This would bring Zotero on par with Bookends and the Sente UI of old.

+1

+1 custom colours +1 larger palette Both would increase accessibility for those with visual impairments

Dear Adam, Sorry for the late reply and thank you very much for your response, which clarifies the issue somewhat. I am not sure I would completely sign up for this envisioned way of data transfer by way of embedding annotations into the PDF upon ex…

Dear all, The CSL is a very quick and admittedly dirty hack to get an MSCA-IF application done. Errors have been fixed in the last days. @damnation the `elseif` typo has been fixed; but empty macros run just fine. Some of the other suggestions wo…

I just published my adaptation of Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) 17th edition fullnote style for MSCA-IF to Github at https://github.com/tillgrallert/MSCA-IF-templates. This style tries to safe as much space as possible by removing all but the essent…

Thank you very much for the quick and informative reply, @adamsmith. This will help adapting my CSL styles. However, given the speed---or rather lack thereof---of releases for CSL (the last release was in 2012!), I wonder where to start pushing for …

@dstillman Thank you very much for the quick and informative reply. I agree that the future of Applescript looks rather bleak. In the meantime I will check out the mentioned debug-bridge.
-
@dstillman Thank you very much for the quick reply. Changing the language in the Advanced pane of the Zotero preferences to "English (UK)" at least changes to DD/MM/YYYY. It would be great if one could get a plain old YYYY-MM-DD format with a future…
-
This might be a bit unrelated but I am looking for ways to toggle the display of dates in fields such as "Accessed". While I always enter dates as YYYY-MM-DD and while my OS (macOS) is set to YYYY-MM-DD, Zotero displays dates following the US custom…
-
It is still a pity that Applescript is not supported. Sending the currently selected reference from Zotero to any text editor / word processor would be much easier with a bit of scripting. As it stands I seemingly have to script Better BibTeX and us…

Dear @mirjam.amsterdam, I support your suggestion of additional date fields. One could refer to the simple MODS encoding of alternative dates as a template: 1909-06-07 1909-06-07 [1909-06-20] Best, Till

Dear @adamsmith, I do see your point of differentiating between monthly and daily periodicals. However, the above-linked project contains bibliographic data for a lot of newspapers---published daily, bi-weekly, weekly or anything between---in addit…

I am a bit late to the discussion but would like to support Mirjam. I am working with late nineteenth-century press from the Eastern Mediterranean and citing issue and volume numbers is an absolute must! The background is that dates are terribly u…

Thank you very much for the quick reply. The error seems to be slightly different: Database upgrade error TypeError: connection is undefined Zotero.DBConnection.prototype.backupDatabase
