Hi @OniDaito It is good to see further development of ZotDroid Ben - the future looks very promising! But now for the embarrassing bit... After installing your latest update the zip problem was still there so I investigated further by running Zot…

Hi @henge - thanks for the info. Do you mean that you use pCloud, but have not had the same experience as me? Or do you use other personal webdav? @OniDaito - I have now tried to download a few attachments and the zip file downloaded is always 79.5…
-
Many thanks @OniDaito . It will be interesting to see if anyone else is having this problem. It could be pCloud but it performs very well in every other respect so I doubt it. (I hope not as I bought a lifetime subscription...!) Best regards, Ric…

Hi @OniDaito Yes, I'm using pCloud. There seems to be a problem with the downloading function. I checked the zip file downloaded via ZotDroid - it is 80KB and can not be unzipped on Android or when copied over to a Windows device. The zip file …

Hi Ben I've uninstalled ZotDroid & reinstalled it, downloaded an attachment, but I'm still getting 0 bytes. The zip file has been downloaded to /sdcard/Documents/ZotDroid/temp/ and is 80KB. There is a PDF file in /sdcard/Documents/ZotDroid/a…

Hi Ben I think they are in the standard locations: /storage/emulated/0/Documents/ZotDroid /data/user/0/computer.benjamin.zotdr0id/databases Thanks Richard

Good morning Ben Have you had any luck diagnosing my "0 byte" attachment bug? Do you need any more information? I haven't uninstalled / reinstalled Zotdroid but could do if you think that might help? Thanks, Richard

Hi Ben I can't speak as a developer but I understood that the annotations (highlighting, comments, notes) I add to a PDF in whatever PDF reader / editor I am using, become an editable layer in the PDF file (unless the PDF is flattened) and as long …

Hi Ben Thanks for getting back to me. I'm on Android 9 on a Note 9. Would it be cleaner if I just uninstall / reinstall ZotDroid? I've got very few attachments stored on the phone so I can easily download those that I need again. Also, there was …
-
Hi Ben Really good to hear from you and to see this update. I've installed the update, moved the few downloaded attachments I had, and also did a 'reset & sync' as ZotDroid search wasn't working at the top level. Search works fine after the r…
-
Hi Ben ( @OniDaito ) I have just come across the same issue as @Pettigrew as I started marking up PDFs on my Android device. Is ZotDroid meant to sync the PDF back to WebDAV storage or is it a one-way street for read-only on Android? Hope you are …

Hi Ed ( @ysgard ) I could not get CloudMe to work at all. I would like to have used them but in the end I switched over to pCloud and that has worked flawlessly. With pCloud you get 10GB free, which is good, and 500GB costs £43 p.a. (or £160 for …

Hi @dstillman @adamsmith Yes! Connector on 5.0.44 and translators updated and it is working again with York and British Library. Connector and bookmarklet appear to have identical behaviour. Many thanks, Richard
-
@danstillman : I just tried that but it still isn't working.
-
HI @dstillman @adamsmith Hey, that's good to hear! One of the things I love about this community (apart from delivering a superb reference manager) is the open spirit with which support is carried out. I have just checked the connector in Chrome a…
-
I've just realised that the problem with the bookmarklet is probably due to a Chrome update rather than Zotero or Primo. I'm on Version 70.0.3538.67 (Official Build) (64-bit). Richard
-
For information: I have been able to use the "save to Zotero" bookmarklet with York's catalogue as an alternative to the usual Zotero Connector until this morning (2018-10-21). Now that just creates a generic "Yorsearch" entry. I don't recall inst…

Welcome back Ben! Good to know you're back on the case - ZotDroid is now an indispensable part of my everyday life. Congratulations on starting the PhD!
-
Hi Ben - I wondered if you were successful in getting your MRes submitted on time and are thinking of getting back into ZotDroid development again soon...? Many thanks, Richard
-
Ah, it looks like I may have just caught it when it was undergoing an udpdate, or they still hadn't sorted out their website links. The one that did *not* work was: http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=OXVU1 But …
-
Apologies - my misunderstanding. I have just tried solo.bodleian.ox.ac but that does not work for me either. I'm sure there is an obvious explanation, but I notice that using the "Save to zotero" bookmarklet works for Uni of York, Oxford and Briti…

Hi Ben Thanks for the positive response. Yes, in Zotero on Windows when you right-click on an item the context menu offered has "Add attachment" with a sub-option of "Add link to URI". Here you can supply a URL and optional title. Thanks, Richard

Hi @OniDaito I have now got Zotero and ZotDroid synchronising file attachments successfully with pCloud over WebDAV! Getting the local Android file storage and WebDAV set up and working was a bit fragile in terms of the sequence of actions taken,…
-
Hi @OniDaito I've now tried WebDAV with CloudMe, which provides a straightforward WebDAV implementation and I'm getting the same error as with OneDrive. The error is "Connection failed: Failed to access: https://webdav.cloudme.com/richardm/CloudDr…
-
Hi @OniDaito, do you know if anyone has successfully set up ZotDroid to use the webdav option to store / retrieve attachments on OneDrive? ZotDroid looks like it is developing into a very capable Android client for Zotero and if it means I could co…

Ah, yes,it looks like 'Unfiled Items" will achieve what I want. Thanks @bwiernik .
-
I realise now that the best search for items needing attention is: Added in the last month AND not in any collection I cannot see how to use advanced search to find items *not* in any collection - it looks like I have to specify "is not" for every…

Ok, thanks.
