Truly a great feature, thanks. It's going to generate a lot of pressure to allow editing of all the old annotated pdfs. Do you think there might be a way to do that programmatically?
-
I can see how to filter tags by colour, and how to export individual annotations to a note, but I don't see how to export all the selected annotations of a particular colour to a note. Is there a way?
-
Deleting ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache works for me, and saves history and preferences.
-
Thanks. If there's a way to test this ignore matching text comments please let me know.
-
There's an option in PDFXchange to insert the highlighted text into the highlight field. We don't see that as a comment, but if you click on the highlight you see the text. This was useful for exporting comments. Probably a very niche problem. T…

Yes, there are important differences. Line breaks are the obvious ones, but also weird note duplications. Using PDFxchange and Zotfile: "our government is destroying two vital instruments of that growth-the system of contract rights and the large…

I can withdraw this. It seems to be a generated by extracting annotations made with a different PDF viewer. Using the built-in PDF viewer works fine on the same pdf.
-
Tags is a poor term for what I meant. Separate notes for each colour would be useful. But being able to insert a string into the pdf as a comment that creates a new note -- for a chapter or section -- would be great.
-
Sure. In the config fields we can edit the html wrapping. I do this, but I'm sure there are better ways: extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.formatAnnotationNote;%(content) (note on p.%(page)) * which gives me notes in bold ... extensions.zotfi…

Thanks for this. It was useful to be able to insert html tags into the comments formatting in Zotfile. Is there a way to do similar formatting of the extracted notes in the new system?
-
Thanks. This is a great improvement. +1 for inclusion by default.
-
Thanks @qqbb Zutilo works nicely to expose the Collection URI, and it's useful to be to link directly from a standalone note. This creates a one-way link, which is probably inevitable. On @dstillman's question -- I think keeping the name of linked…

Static duplication will only add to the problem, sadly.
-
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…
