• Today I taught the use of Zotero to 10 postgrad students and Ctrl Shift A did not seem to work on most of the machines (it did work on some so I presume it is an issue with the latest version of firefox). At the moment, the ability to use Ctrl Shi…

• I guess that means that there is no way toggling the pdf download behaviour regarding the download of pdfs. Shift+Click toggles the "snapshot preference" which is different to the pdf download preference. It would be cool if their were a "Ctrl …

  in Incorrect APA style film citing? Comment by timtak May 28, 2013
• Then I am sorry, I used the wrong term. I would like to be able to cite movies in (or near) to APA style, without having to input all the data myself by hand, in any way possible.

• Thank you, yes, there is an icon but it does not scrape the right information for APA citation (the subject of this thread).

• It would be cool if there were somewhere where we could scape movie citations from, ideally I guess IMDB.

• I see that Zotero downloads pdfs from Google scholar without shift-click, and that the behaviour is controlled by a setting in preferences - "Automatically attach associated PDFs and other files when saving items" Is there anyway of toggling th…

• It there were more/easier web page annotation within Zotero, then I would want more powerful ways of collating and exporting such annotations, pdf annotations, and/to Notes, so that Zotero can be used for for the whole process of research. (Zo…

• Alas Amazon.co.jp records (and very probably other Japanese sources) imported with the names reversed. Is there any chance of correcting this, or adding a name swapping button on Zotero?

• Names from Amazon Japan are still all backwards alas. CiNii names are sometimes backwards so that swap button would still be a great help.

• That is true. I can delete orphan pdfs from my library and then put them back in later. But when I put them back in I have to remember which collection they were in so it is not as simple as all that. Thank you for the suggestion though. …

• By the way, I only mean now to point out that one can now remove "child files" and "child links" but stand-alone files are left as stand-alone links and there does not seem to be an option for not including them. This seems to me to be inconsi…
