Sorry, I used the phrase Zotero Web App, when I should have said Zotero App.
-
Fine for you. But its been admitted many times that a lot of people find it confusing. Zotero is only one of many applications I use and during one period I only had the link to "Web Library" on my browser and didn't know there was a local Zotero …
-
I'm 72 years old, so this "no concept of a Desktop App" completely fails for me. But the main issue is surely getting users on the "Web Library" page off it - its giving them a lot of unnecessary problems. Under the Web Library page Zotero logo put…

OK. But there are two pieces of software which give me the name Zotero and the current view (My Library). I have links to both on my laptop. Why not distinguish them? Here's what I see when I open them, taking in turn 1) the Zotero App and 2) t…
-
In response to samvines... I'm not assuming that the Desktop App is the same as my library. That's exactly the confusion that the labelling of Zotero imposes on me. When I open the Deskop App this is what it says: Zotero - My Library File Edit To…

Two years ago I had an accident which partly knocked out my brain - power of speech gone for a few weeks! At the same time I had software issues and when I came back I only had access to the Zotero web site. Since that's all I saw, I assumed that'…

Great. Now that is a helpful comment! Thank you so much. I am going to have to download all these help files and read through them, because it seems that Zotero is not really usable "intuitively", at least not by me, one has to do one's homework,…

OK now I have found it. So now I have two Zoteros - the web site, which contains all the articles I have bookmarked, and Zotero proper (that's the one with the menu which contains "Tools"). I never knew this one existed before today. So now the i…
-
OK I see that, and have found "Tools", for which thank you. But I am completely puzzled. All my saved articles are in the website. I have no idea how to get Zotero proper in my PC, I can't be reinstalling Zotero every time I want to use it.
-
Really? I have downloaded Zotero. I have installed the connector. When I log in I am welcomed by name. I have a considerable library of articles in Zotero. Now I discover I haven't actually installed it! Where do I find out how to do that?
-
Sorry, I just don't know where these top menu items are. In my Zotero, I see on the top menu: Web library | Groups | Documentation | Forums | Get Involved. I don't see any "Tools". I wish I did, but I don't.
-
Thanks. I have successfully downloaded retorquere's XPI file to my laptop. But I can't seem to find "Tools - Add-ons" and the Add-ons window. Most grateful if someone could tell me where this is.
-
This is a tantalising thread! It seems the retorquere plugin Tim links to would enable printing, e.g. in Adobe. But when I click through to https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-open-pdf I see it is way above my capacities - I don't know how to ins…
-
Adam, could I ask you how you get your documents to Adobe? I can't seem to manage it. I highlight the document, but I don't know what the next step would be,
-
Thanks, that's a useful comment. I'll try that.
-
Sorry, I didn't realise there underlined words were links, hence my remark about the Report ID. I might mention that the section on the Report ID refers to using the Help Menu but doesn't say where the Help Menu is.
-
When I complain that I cannot print, I get no response. So that hasn't been my experience. I don't know what you mean by "we need a report ID". Could you express that in a straightforward manner, because I don't understand it. How can I link t…
-
I'm a bit confused by that. Almost every article I have archived in Zotero is in pdf format, and displays the little pdf symbol. So when I open the article, which I invariably do before trying to print it, I open it in pdf. So I don't think that …
-
You do not experience this problem? I assumed it was an inherent defect, inherent that is to Zotero. Why did I assume that? Because I have two machines, one desktop and one Thinkpad laptop, and exactly the same problem happens with both machines.…
-
An example: a 47pp article by Alexander Cuthbert "Urban Design: Requiem for an era." I can read it well enough, but when I press "File | Print" It will only print 10 lines, all headers, on one sheet of paper. Another user has reported a similar bu…

This has been fixed. Not sure how, but it suddenly worked.
-
Quite frustrating. For a web site dealing with tall buildings, I'd like to use Zotero as the engine powering a large set of references to different aspects of high rises. The references would be sorted into multiple categories. In each category the…
-
It is more complicated than I thought. Even if I had an extra column where I could insert my numbers, the numbers would have to be tied to that particular category. To illustrate: I research aspects of high rise buildings. So an article which is …
-
Yep, alas ordering is essential to the way I work. I've tried colors before and it doesn't really hack it, for me.
-
New Zotero user here. I want to use Zotero not so much for its citation capabilities, as for its file ordering during research. My habit is for any subject category, to label the articles in order of subjective importance 1,2,3.... etc Labelling…
-
Hmmm "Extra" numbering doesn't sort in the New Web LIbrary
-
I hope so.
-
VERY Nice! What's its purpose? Beautiful! That's exactly the notes behaviour that I want.

web library?

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7l8my0cx1unrlf7/AACyTa47QuBQjHVDvh8ZuYKZa?dl=0 You'll see that the 3rd item, beginning with "Ordinary citizens.." has a longish note. In the right pane it is
