I did have a JRE installed in LBO (or it thought it was installed), but it wasn't working -- despite trying three different versions of LBO and three openjdk versions. I managed to fix this by completely removing LBO, and then using Synaptic to s…

Tags can do a small amount of what's needed here -- but they produce a flat structure limited by the collection context. What we need -- to avoid duplications and errors in duplication -- is a way to repeat the collection tree structures. This is …

This is a problem that people have been discussing for over a decade. Without a way to contain and then link groups of references all large Zotero collections become bewilderingly complex to use. In my view this is the most important obstacle to w…
-
Thanks. Something deleted prefs.js. Fixed now.
-
Of course I strongly agree with oldtimer on this. Without a means of linking to structures of collections a large Zotero collection is, eventually, always going to become a bewildering mess. (With fragments of similar or repeated collections distri…
-
This would greatly strengthen Zotero as a research tool, and it would be a game changer for teaching and supervision. There are several similar suggestions in the forums going back many years and it would be good to focus them [on this]!
-
There's been a lot of discussion of this over the last five years, but no sign of progress or ways to do it. It would be great.
-
Tags, hierarchical collections and saved searches are all great tools, but a process that would allow us to reference the same branch of the collection tree from different places (like a symbolic link) would multiply the value of Zotero enormously .…
-
I know that this point has been made several times, but I want to signal how valuable it would to be able to reference a single structure of items/sub-collections from different places in the main library. Hierarchical tags might work for this, but…
-
I'm also having this problem. Emptying the Group Library trash seems to encourage it to work harder, but it doesn't copy -- even a sub-collection. I've submitted a debug log: D289948494. Exporting the group library seems to work -- slowly.
-
Any progress or plans on this? The book meta-data is identical across book sections, only author, title and pages change. Doing a find - replace at the last minute is not a huge task, but it is not very like Zotero ...

I see my mistake. I was not using scaling -- I set the font sizes, which changed the menu fonts but not the icons or the search field size. Resetting the fonts and increasing the scaling works fine. Thank you!

The 2018 Lenovo x1 screen's default resolution is 2560x1440.
-
Thanks. On a WQHD screen they are too small to use -- this is especially difficult on the search field because the text is unreadable.
-
The error appears on different machines, and with entirely new empty documents (and old ones). Thanks for the attention.
-
Sure: You should be able to see it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xig06LLULy4TECD25Ry2KJK_VeVHEkzA You need to have more than one item selected. The icon is the normal Merge icon.
-
Thank you for Zotfile -- it's a fantastic reading and teaching tool. I have a small bug. Using Ubuntu linux (16.04 lts) the hyperlinks in Zotfile notes ignore my xdg-open settings (which are set for a Wine PDF editor and work fine in Zotero itself…
-
Thanks. That was it. I didn't notice that attachments can be tagged separately.
-
The problem seems to be coming from unattached pdfs with names that are identical to the titles of (unattached) parents. What's odd about this is that the pdfs should be attached to the parents.
-
I spoke too soon. This is on only one of three machines, using 5.0-beta.237+3272387af and syncing only the main library. Debug ID is D789101441. An error occurred during syncing: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: collection item m…
-
Well there are many good reasons relating to Zotero as a research tool. One additional reason is that laptops and hard-drives have a tendency to go missing. If there's a thread on securing this kind of research data please point me to it. Thanks.…
-
Can I ask a bit more about the security of sync-ed data? I have some colleagues working on sensitive data and they are [very] concerned not to expose documents and informants. Can you say a bit more about how the sync-ed files are secured? Is th…
-
Upgrade seems to have fixed it. Thanks.
-
I have another persistent sync-ing issue; not always the same item. Error message: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: collection item must be top level [QUERY: REPLACE INTO itemAttachments (itemID, parentItemID, linkMode, contentType,…
-
I may be hallucinating, but I think we've lost the Merge Duplicates option outside of the Duplicate Items folder. I miss it.
-
Update to 5.0-beta.204 seems to have fixed the problem.
-
A new sync error: "An error occurred during syncing: Item collection 2494 not found" I'm pretty sure that this is caused by a Group that has been deleted on a different machine. Debug report is D1662105269
-
Thanks. Found it, and had to flush it from the Trash.
-
I'm still seeing odd sync errors. From what I can see they're related to very long filenames but I can't find them (at least not on the machine reporting the error). I've posted the debug content D449147479. Thanks!
-
Definitely more detail in the error message now: Debug ID D1473688648. I have done a clean install on another machine without mishap -- sync-ing is also working fine there.
