Thank you! This is now incorporated into my standard procedures.
-
Ah, at last I see it. It wasn't at the bottom of my right-hand pane, because I don't display Info. I display Notes.
-
OK this is what I have: In my Collection "Planning structure" I now have only 2 pdfs with these titles: A new vision for planning - there must be a better way! Planning and culture unfolded - the case of Flanders and the Netherlands These titles …

In my Zotero, the Extra field does not appear in the right pane of the Zotero window. It appears in the centre pane, and cannot be typed in. At least that's my experience. I see the point about collections. However, for my very rough purposes, th…
-
Nice idea. But how does one populate the "Extra" field? No need to have same arrangement across collections. The sorting only needs to be within a collection.
-
I'd like to share a screenshot I've taken of my 'customized' Windows Explorer interface which I find convenient. I'm wondering if anything similar can be done in Zotero, it seems that the screen layout is somewhat inflexible, especially the right s…

OK I get it. Sometimes when you click through there's nothing, you have to click again. Sometimes the icons are there immediately. OK, no worries.
-
Not sure how it works with you, but with us you log into the university library and it serves up listings from all the vendors, no icons. Even when I click through I don't seem to see any icons. I could send you a couple of screenshots to illustrate.

I'm ambivalent about Zotero and other reference managers. Everyone agrees they're great for managing references! But that's a small part of most research projects. Aside from fieldwork, there's collecting, sorting and arranging key texts. You col…

Apologies noksagt, I got distracted. (a) Thanks for this explanation, this was probably what the others were trying to tell me (b) When I saved the link I sent by the "save as html file only" system it loaded EXACTLY like the original. If…

For what it is worth, on my Firefox using the 1-page html-only save produces a save that (a) opens faster (b) is more like the original, colored bits and ads and images and all (c) is easier and quicker to move the cursor around (the Zotero method p…
-
OK that's fine, if that's the case then there's no more to be said. I thought it worth commenting because (a) I've started, funded, hired for, managed, designed, and brought to completion a large and successful web site, so I've had experienc…
-
That is a nice illustration of a text which may be clear to an insider, but obscure to the new user / person who is considering using Zotero. Not least, we've already been told that WebDav is not the preferred sync option, so these instructions are…

HI Aurimas, welcome back! As I sign out, I'll assume that my system is set up as it should be, it is just that the forums reveal quite a number of problems with disappearing file attachments, so I wanted to be sure. Not sure how to say this, b…
-
I guess I may be making a mountain out of a molehill. Maybe Zotero's documentation doesn't explain how to sync attachments because it assumes that it is obvious, you just go to Preferences | Sync | Settings and check 'Sync attachments in My Libary u…
-
So I am stuck figuring out how to set up file sync, i.e. to sync the attachment directory. I discovered the 'Syncing' documentation, but apart from explaining that there are two separate areas which need syncing, 'data', and 'file' syncing for atta…
-
(I wonder why Zotero is so different from Scrivener, which actually positively suggests DropBox as a means of syncing two PCs using Scrivener).
-
Do how have a suggestion how to set this up? How do I get Zotero to sync the storage directory between computers?
-
My question was also prompted by the concern that I'd be setting up a redundancy of syncs, opening the door to sync chaos, with Zotero on both PCs syncing to Zotero Storage, and the c:\zotero folder being synced between computers via SugarSync. …
-
Hi Aurimas - I'd just set up SugarSync (a standard file synchronizing service which keeps a chosen folder synchonized in another computer) to synchonize my laptop's c:\zotero with my desktop's c:\zotero. However maybe Zotero Storage can do thi…

Hi aurimas, sorry - my comment was being worked on while you were drafting yours - again, a very helpful comment. Easy: c:\zotero, voila. I've already done the moving. I don't believe I've ever worked from a computer that doesn't have a C drive!
-
I don't know - as I consider how to manage this last task above, I feel myself sinking, once again, into the fog of confusion. Reviewing the dialogue with Adam, some of the things he says make a vague sense to me, with my limited knowledge. …

Re 2, OK this works. Great. So in conclusion: A. One can hyperlink locally to files attached to a Zotero record without too much difficulty B. They also open smoothly in a local application when the OneNote link is clicked. Next ste…
-
Yes sure, my fault. I think the issue is that some 'dumbing down' is needed to the level of the person seeking help. When one gets answers which at first, second, and third reading don't seem understandable it can be stressful. Also I suspect the…
-
Thanks again for that latest comment, again really helpful
-
OK, re No 2. It can be done by hand from OneNote's Linking system, it is just that the path is significantly longer than that to the DropBox file, and since the script is in would you call it 'machine-language' (?) the process is more difficult.
-
Thanks aurimas, this is really helpful, a model reply! As you say, it is local files which we need to target, not remote ones. My mistake (big stupid mistake). 1. Drag and drop seems alas precluded by OneNote not being fully integrated…
-
I am sorry, but I was simply trying to explain why the interaction was frustrating, which maybe I did over-spicily (and I thought your initial response was well-tuned). I appreciate your time and attention. But to repeat, this was a very simple us…

Haha, touche. Maybe I am wrong, but I seemed to be getting the passive-aggressive treatment. We'll not actually insult the dude, we'll just do our darnest not to understand what he is saying and give him the runaround.
