  • thank you! I will try this. About time for the android app, damn!
  • You guys were right! The problem was on my side! All good now. As I said it will take some getting used to the new system. I am now at work and I was trying to install zotero 5 on linux and all I get is an archive which I unpack and I can run zoter…
  • sorry I am an idiot! I click on the save to zotero and I get the window to save the file in zotero. The annoyance is that it obtains the metadata and creates an entry for the file downloaded, but it also creates a blank entry with no title, only som…
  • In chrome, I click on the save to zotero and I only get to save a snapshot. If I try to save the file localy I don't get the save to zotero option like I used to do in Firefox. How do you drag an URL to zotero?

  • Ok I have discovered ZotFile which works great to rename files and does what I want. Now if it was possible to correct the missing info I would be a really happy researcher :)
  • Hi, Thanks for the quick response! My EndNote library is very old and very big. I have noticed that some information missing such as the page numbers. Anyway I was very excited about how Zotero imported all my references and trying to get used …
