• Thanks for your help noksagt and Dan, If RIS is the best option, and if RIS is providing (quite) imperfect imports into Zotero, I wonder if it is possible to address the problem in a way that doesn't require massive editing of already existing libr…

• Perhaps it is more promising to attempt to use 'trunk translators' (ie: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7269/importing-endnote-using--tags-issn-doesnt-import/#Item_3)?

• As an addendum, I note that the "translator" field for books seems to be the %? field, or 'subsidiary author' field in endnote (see http://bibsonomy.blogspot.com/2006/03/endnote-export.html for fields). This would be in the "generic" entry, for ins…

• Thanks noksagt, That helps a bit. So, if N1's are undifferentiated, it would seem that most users with big endnote libraries find themselves in this situation? How are people addressing the problem? Are there any steps that can be taken to get ar…

• My bad! I had only placed the entries in the trash, but had not 'emptied' the trash. Once done, the folders were eliminated.

  in Old folders not purging? -- solved Comment by JonEP June 11, 2009
• I have to say that I fully support the directions that benmeister is pushing zotero to go. There is a need for a platform from which to collect data (webpages, PDFs, documents, whatever), and to view that data, make notes on it, and then analyze th…

  in Can I annotate my PDF snapshots? Comment by JonEP June 9, 2009
• Hi, Thanks for your reply. I suppose this all ties in to my desire to have Zotero be my main platform for archiving, viewing, annotating and analyzing PDFs, ideally with the possibility of making notes on, and tagging, specific portions of text w…

  in Search comments in PDFs? Comment by JonEP June 8, 2009
• Hi, Thanks for the response. Regarding #2, I think it is commendable that the community will respond by creating bibliographic styles. Even so, I'd like to be able to manipulate styles myself, without needing to be xml-savvy. My fear is that I w…

• I am not an expert by any means, but there is certainly discussion of this out there. At Endnote, where I raised a similar point (http://forums.thomsonscientific.com/ts/board/message?board.id=en-suggest&thread.id=59), the development team respo…

  in Is there any automatic renaming? Comment by JonEP April 29, 2009
• Hi, I think I am going to make the transition from EndNote.... However, I'm dealing with over 900 linked entries in one EndNote library. I definitely will not do it by hand! Lawsuits notwithstanding, is there a way to have the links conv…

• Hi, I've been considering Zotero for a long time and have been checking in for years now. This is the main issue for me at this point--I've already invested a lot of time putting my PDFs in order, and would like to keep them that way. I don't…
