For the sake of completeness, here is more information and an Android solution: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/76471/scanning-isbn-barcode-to-input-books-to-zotero-library#latest In my experience, using a barcode app has too much latency to b…

@realtime99 What is the state of the art for pdf annotations and notetaking? Each time I've done a survey in the past, I found the tools massively lacking. I am especially looking for a way to have documents and text side by side and linked, so tha…

@dstillman I am a bit reluctant to put more effort into my python library before the change to electron. The library is pretty complete as far as creating items, notes and attachments etc., but there is still a lot of old code left from when I swit…

@Boston22 If you buy an SSD: Make sure to buy a high quality drive from a reputable vendor. Some drives, especially cheap thumb drives, are not made for repeated writes. For this reason, I would not put the database on the drive, just the storage f…

@evaeastman you want to keep your papers in your own folder hierarchy but sync with Zotero? I am not sure this is possible, but in my limited unterstanding it wouldn't have any advantages over just syncing the storage folders directly (just don't …

A solution for Android is Barcode Scanner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android&hl=en_US). Go to settings, add a custom search url and enter https://www.zotero.org/save?q=%s Scan the barcode and click …

@adamsmith: I am looking for a stable way to talk to a local Zotero installation for adding items and querying the library. The commands that I use are: - create items with attachments, notes, tags, etc. - used for importing documents into Zo…

@hughp3 I wrote a library that works locally. See here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/81195/limited-proof-of-concept-csv-to-zotero-import#latest It uses the debug bridge to run code locally. I've used it successfully to automatically import …
-
Btw., thanks for the debug bridge, it is much more stable than the telnet interface in MozRepl. MozRepl had all kinds of corner cases and the Unicode handling wasn't easy. Do you think the bridge could eventually become part of Zotero as a client A…
-
thanks, that is a good point. Probably the transactions are not needed for local operations anyway, but it helps for debugging the program and keep Zotero from crashing.
-
@nixsee I fixed the MozRepl issue, the library is now using the Zotero Debug Bridge. Installation instructions are on the gist page at the bottom https://gist.github.com/danbe/6547077 The usage example at the bottom of zotero.py is pretty complet…
-
I got it to work, thank you!
-
thanks, Emiliano. I already got it to work partially and can already add notes. Can the bridge do arbitrary statements, or only expressions? I tried to execute Zotero.DB.beginTransaction() but got TypeError: Zotero.DB.beginTransaction is not a funct…
-
@nixsee I'd be happy to, but I just found a problem: MozRepl doesn't seem to be working anymore as of Zotero 5.0.82. I downloaded the latest version from GitHub and packaged it, when I try to install it, I get an error message that the version is i…
-
@depswa I had the same problem and wrote a library to create items in Zotero through Python locally. The library can do links, so you can keep your files in their original location. Currently the Zotero collections are not supported, but maybe you …

@KallistiMan Thanks for sharing! Did you run into any issues when importing many files? I tried RIS import a few years ago, but when I tried to import a large numbers of files, it would sometimes fail in the middle with no easy way to find the probl…

I have uploaded the improved version of the local client Python library at https://gist.github.com/danbe/6547077 I can't test this version at the moment, please let me know if you find any problems.
-
@PChemGuy of course. I'll dig it out and will upload it later. The biggest challenge was to get all of the corner cases for unicode strings right. You'll see that 3/4 of the code is error checking. It will also undo a transaction on error. @emilian…

For lack of a local API I wrote a library that creates an interface by running js through MozRepl. (https://gist.github.com/danbe/6547077), I have an updated version for Python 3 (can provide if anyone is interested), but I haven't used it in a whil…

I just did an experiment with odt and it seems to work. Thanks for the suggestion. On saving with word, I get an error message "may contain features that are not compatible with this format", but adding and editing citations in the other program see…
-
thanks, adamsmith. I played a bit around, and I think that I can make it work, though it is a bit inconvenient, as I don't want to maintain separate libraries for shared and private items, but eventually merge all items into My Library. In case any…
-
That sounds promising, thank you. Even if it is read-only, it would be a very good starting point to turn my collection of hacks into something more portable. I'll check in on the dev list.
-
Worked perfectly without any problems. Now I have a much better understanding how the synchronization works. Thank you!
-
@ztumin You have the entire zotero folder with the sqlite database file and the storage folder? Or do you have an rdf file and an export folder? In principle, you could import the latter directly to your zotero installation. To load a complete Z…
-
Thanks aurimas and adamsmith, I'll do the syncing. Can you point me towards how to transfer the attachments manually?
-
Thanks for working on this, aurimas. What I do now is open all result pages as tabs (otherwise the search times out after a too short time), then reload each static report page. That works well enough for me. I've sent a note to NTRL and suggested …

Ok, problem is here again: It works when the url is entered directly, but not when reached via a search "Advanced Methods for Incorporating Solar Energy Technologies into Electric Sector Capacity-Expansion Models: Literature Review and Analysis" o…

@adamsmith It is working for me now, too. I will try a more links. Very strange, just yesterday it didn't work. @aurimas I am using Firefox with the Zotero add-on. I don't have any of the software in the list of known issues. I've seen this issue a…

OSTI fulltext never worked for me, I've used many Firefox versions. Haven't tried Chrome. I will send a note to NTRL and suggest to embed metadata into their webpage.

To answer my own question in part, Scitech Connect has many of the same reports and is recognized by Zotero. http://www.osti.gov/scitech/ The automatic pdf download doesn't work, though.
