Would a workaround for this not be to ensure track changes is switched off during an operation. Could this be an option on the 'set document preferences' screen?

I did experiment with MozRepl. It doesn't cooperate very well with expensive processes - I had problems with more complex queries and getting the telnet connection to mozrepl to stay up, although it's a great tool for simple queries. Your options …

I agree with bdarcus. Even if there's some tight coupling in the code with AWS or some internal infrastructure, I still think it would be good to release the server code asap so that people can poke it. If a local server was available for me with …

It's not going to be too hard. Documentation is here: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/interacting_with_zotero_from_within_firefox and here: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/api_user_docs . If you end up doing this, please consider contributing …

Chemistry is not that different to programming ;) . Especially with the documentation and examples that I've put together. (speaking as a failure at industrial chemist that is).

If you have a little programming experience you can Have a look at my zotero browser ( http://github.com/singingfish/zotero-browser ) to see one way of dealing with related items outside the main zotero interface. I used them in my annotated biblio…
-
ajlyon Well I have a working installation of my browser here, and the (non-gui parts of the) code should be identical in the browser to what would end up in zotero, so in principle I agree. My time is a bit limited for the next month or so, but in…

You can have a look at the tool I wrote here: http://github.com/singingfish/zotero-browser. You'll need to know some javascript and write some code to collect useful stats though.It only works on Firefox 3.5 as far as I know right now.
-
Basically you need to export the endnoteX library to RIS. Next you need to find the internal-pdf:// url and replace it with an absolute path url - i.e. file:///path/to/endnote_storage/dir/filename... There's more information here: http://forums.zo…

Greg (again). After a bit of a hack with your code, and trawling the forums to find out exactly where ZoteroPane came from, the code snuippet has made it modified into the user docs page that I've been curating: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/a…

Greg, I know, it's pretty ugly but hey I am usually just doing statistical programming... That code is fine - well commented and clearly written. I didn't know about chickenfoot - I will look at it now. For an alternative plugin-less interaction …

Just noticed this one in the forums. I've gone for a web application based approach to generate annotated bibliographies available here: http://github.com/singingfish/zotero-browser (see the README file for requirements, but there's only one firefo…
-
I think it's basically a matter of writing an extra RIS export translator that will add the absolute file url (i.e. file:///path/to/your/file.pdf ) in the L1 - field for the RIS record. Then in Endnote on the same computer you can convert file atta…

CSL is not really the tool that I'd use for this job. In fact I glued together some stuff to do this kind of job with some third party libraries (unfortunately not working in Firefox 3.6 yet, use 3.5x). Source code and instructions available at: h…
-
TheCyberProf: I don't think my tool will support the tagged notes stuff that you mentioned. I've investigated using Zotero for qualitative analysis but I couldn't see how to get an efficient workflow going, and the kind of reporting I wanted. How…
-
Just came across this in the forums. It looks like there's some demand for more flexible report output from zotero. With basic web programming skills and a bit of javascript you could implement the notes shuffling tool with the code that I've writ…
-
It would be a couple of hours work or less for someone with an ereader and basic knowledge of programming to make pdfs stored in the zotero collection downloadable through the ipad / other e-reader browser through using the tools that I've rigged to…
-
I'm inclined to think that there is a need for a simplified zotero API for common operations, but documenting the existing API properly should be a priority first. Hopefully the documentation[1] and tools[2] I've been working on over the past coupl…
-
From when I used scaffold a few years ago, I remember that it still required considerable programming skill. Really I was just thinking aloud that a GUI translator builder would be reasonably easy to achieve using firebug lite, even if the correspo…
-
It strikes me that someone could pretty easily rig together a translator builder using the toolkit I've just lashed together at: http://github.com/singingfish/zotero-browser which provides an easy way into the zotero API through the web browser. My…

not easily in the pdf version. A greasemonkey script on a per site basis may be feasable for some publishers pages
-
The user komrade referrs to is me. It's a locally running perl web application that runs on top of an existing zotero database and storage directory. It provides a list of key phrases and named entities, a "rating" scheme, and links back to the d…
-
Well I find the current built in full-text search rather slow, and from what I remember from looking at it a while ago, the implementation was rather naive as well. But I could be wrong. My question was more in the way of thinking aloud :-)
-
This would also be very useful for me. I've had a look at docs/source code but can't figure out how to sort bibliographies most recent first. The use case is providing a list of your own publications.
-
2.4MB sounds very big for an RIS file. It sounds to me like you might be trying to import the wrong file format. Also if there are attached pdfs in that database you'll need to make sure that you translate the relevant field in the RIS file from "…

Word is awful[1], but everyone uses it :(. Unfortunately I can't think of anything that's not awful with citation support that I can persuade other people to use :`( I've written many papers/tech reports in the 2-10 thousand words length range w…
-
Yes, it's possible. There are basically two options, the easy way and the hard way. For both of them you click on the search icon and then do a search for "collection" -> "is not" -> "[collection name]". So the hard way is to do this for e…
-
I agree with this point. Additionally I think you need to implement an undo delete colleciton function, as at the moment the only way I can see to fix an accidentally deleted collection is to restore from backup.
-
I just use two (of more) firefox profiles. This works well for me.
-
rathern than: sudo easy_install sudo ./easy_install might work because the current working directory is not usually in your PATH
