  • Good idea wouterstomp, especially when in verticle screen mode. I am in the process of putting all my screens vertically because I spend all my time using zotero. I have quite a lot of verticle space. This shows one of my computers (not the on…
  • But Dan Stillman's explanation here may work really well, especially if PDF-XChange were to implement that format. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/22540/breaking-a-child-note-into-multiple-child-notes/#Item_0
  • Notes via delimeters would be cool too. Cooler than tags actually since I am finding that my workflow is about taking notes and that tags are more finite, and can be added using the tag tool bottom left. Also I have worked out how to summaris…
  • The swap first and last name button would be real handy since all my Japanese names are backwards.
  • This problem occured on more than one computer and then just went away after a while. Zotero now starts up instantly.
  • That is a popular feature, judging by the number of questions. The control key method is okay at first but I am finding that I have more and more collections they do not fit in the left hand box. I have to scroll throught them to find the high…
  • Thank you. I look forward to another way of copying a citation. Ah, I see that I can turn quick copy on and shift drag to get the citation. Did someone tell me this? I am on another computer and I had the same short cut key problem but af…
  • Thank you very much. Dragging and dropping does as you say. I will use that in future.
  • @adamsmith Thank you. If it is a lot of work then I'd agree it would be disproportionate. @fbennett. Thank you, that is true but in general I guess that typing the phrases may be as quick as uploading and linking to a screen shot. I have yet to…
  • Thank you. I will look forward to that. I am sure that my shortcut key problem is related with something very specific about my environment, the sites I have open, the other programs I am using.
  • I had missed the "Try to override conflicting shortcuts checkbox" but even when checked, and firefox/zotero restarted the shortcut is not working for me today. I agree entirely with kithairon's point above that even shortcuts it worked for me, …
  • I like the idea of this too. To refine what danch70 is saying above, there is no need I think to have "Add note" since notes are added from the moment that one starts typing. However, there is no "open new" or "add (new)" in the note inpu…
  • I would like to be able to minimise or reduce the size of the right pane too, for the same reason as nitesh above. I am very fond of using my screen vertically when using Zotero. This gives me a width of 800 (by 1280 height). It would …
  • I am having a loss of focus control when I use PDF-XChange (great pdf viewer). If I search for something in PDF-Xchange's search bar then though I can move the cursor back to the notes pane, and though once moved, I can paste to the notes pane. Some…
  • And further, sorry, you clearly are asking a question regarding my behaviour. I make bug reports because I hope the software, zotero, gets better and better. Tim
  • "if you don't believe the guy who wrote the software (i.e Dan), why do you bother to ask? " I am sorry the "?" in my previous post was to express my confusion at being told that something that only happens when I use Zotero was not Zotero relat…
  • The computer I was using is very fast. I do not usually get these message when using Zotero. I think that it may have something to do with my setting the screen to be tall and thin. Most importantly, in any event, I do not get such messages whe…
  • Dear Mr. Stillman I am sorry I am not sure what you mean. Just a user me. The message occurs when I click a Zotero button to start Zotero and (I just arrived back here to say) the following message occured when I clicked on the tab view bu…
  • I would be grateful of the ability to capture from Webcat too. It is a very popular Japanese citation index, the most popular after CiNii perhaps.
  • I have a file called but fortunately it did not stop the backup (it was skipped) aaaabplan3a4nn2isklmmkshhdbycvgiyiro4ao1hqyi2cds1r0yaeznbjubwnpccwm4kbbro99sttr6jgygfcjdlsgwflqgfv01iugezukzdwcmc2votjmxdaefkpooj5i+evmmi40rieqmhxsgxtt7reikhbwhpjv3xe…
  • Thank you for your response. I did some experimentation. Setting "maximum pages" to 1 allowed me to retrieve metadata but the I page "partial" index still took about 25 seconds. Fortunately if I set Maxpages to 0 then indexing is not…
  • > Set the max char and page values to 0 in the Search > pane of the Zotero prefs and clear the index. Thank you for that information. I wonder if setting the max pages to 1 it would get the metadata. Generally, so far at l…
  • I am really sorry. I must have imagined that I saw those bubbly boxes outlining an item. So the empty boxes progress indicators akin to empty thought bubbles bubbling up to form a full bubble.
  • There was once an issue with Flickr css that only occured in Japan, so it is not out of the question. I'd be happy to install a debugging translator. Tim
  • I got the same error on another computer at http://www.citeulike.org/user/timtak and at http://www.citeulike.org/search/all?q=%22Action%2C+Culture+and+Development%3A+Points+of+Convergence%22+++ But I have the same extensions installed in t…
  • The tag panel was not displayed in one of my two installations and after a bit of import I came to a computer where it is and realised that I have quite a few tags, very few of which I need. Most of these are just attempts to come up on any se…
  • I do see a populated box eventually. A larger box is populated later. I am sorry to have given adamsmith the impression that I do not. LIke DWL-SDCA I see an empty red box as soon as I click the yellow icon in the address bar. And like DW…
  • I have disabled (though not removed) all my addons and I do not have a theme/persona that I am aware of, and it does still exist. I think that it is related to my Citeulike problem because the the first red rectangle appears during the select …
  • Thank you, yes, I can confirm that this is still happening. This time I 1) Disabled all other addins other than zotero 2) close all other tabs other than Citeulike 3) performed a search that yields two hits http://www.citeulike.org/sea…
  • Interesting idea and I did not know that windows links auto fix. One drawback is that, while using windows shortcuts allows the use of ALT drag, but they do not facilitate the retrieval of pdf metadata, whereas Zotero's file links to pdfs do allow t…
