  • Re 2. Almost all exiting export formats are bibliography formats (except perhaps the simple Evernote export). The software mentioned by me may be able to read some basic info from the existing exports, but not the more specialized fields / links etc…
    in Exporting to other software (e.g., Tinderbox) by adding own exporter? Comment by jacekg July 12, 2012
  • Here's another strong vote for a simplified and cleaner advanced search interface. Including matching the names of search fields with the names of fields in citation records. So, for example, creator should be split into Author and Editor (even if i…
    in Advanced Search nitpick & bugs Comment by jacekg July 12, 2012
  • I have a similar question. I currently have ~3000 items in my Zotero bibliography (using it inside Firefox), which I access on several different computers (e.g., a fast Mac OS X, a slow Windows PC). Sometimes I experience slowness, esp with updates …
    in How many papers can Zotero standalone handle? Comment by jacekg July 12, 2012
  • Is Zotfile and ZotReader copying PDFs outside Zotero (to a base dir) compatible? So that if the base dir is the same for both and if one copies files with Zotfile one could get the back with ZotReader? Thanks - Jacek
    in ZotFile - Advanced PDF management for Zotero Comment by jacekg April 2, 2012
  • Every so often (every other time I start Zotero?) Zotfile seems to disappear. The properties window does not come up and in contextual dialog I see "Warning" displayed several time in-between the standard options. Firefox's error log console show th…

  • I assumed a Zotfile thread will be in Zotero forum dropdown ... not there... hence I put it into the general thread.
    in Zotfile and Zotfile Reader Comment by jacekg April 2, 2012
  • Thanks for the link! So, all computers which I use for Zotero (configured for WebDav) will have a local copy of all PDF files, or is it just a cache for files that were accessed on that computer? If all files are replicated - that seems rather expen…
    in WebDav backup? Comment by jacekg August 29, 2011
  • Right. But if I want to move my collection to another WebDav server or to a folder in the local file system, is a straight copy of that 'zotero' folder sufficient? That is, are all references to PDF paper going to work? thnx

  • This is of course what I am doing most of the time: clicking on that icon. But some sites give errors, not sure if there were any errors from Elsevier journals, I think I am getting errors when using the icon from ACM DL and also from (some) Sprin…
    in Import collections/folders Comment by jacekg November 26, 2010
  • Answering myself: collections/folders are "virtual"; they are like tags added to items. Deleting them do not remove the items. BTW, how can one delete own postings with questions that do not apply any longer?
    in Collections (folders) Comment by jacekg November 25, 2010
  • I did try just now. it seems to work! wow! great! (I need to learn what the different icons mean). so, it seems the links to local file (on the same OS) work and I;d like to find out how to open links to external sources - if they are entered in add…
