Disabling SwichProxy worked. However I tried replacing it with Foxy Proxy because the Mozilla addons site recommended it, but lacked the driving skills to make it work - its very complicated! Thus everything (including the whole of Zotero) ground to…

"The purpose of citation information, after all, is to make it easy to find things, and there's nothing easier nor more direct than a link directly to the source." The purpose of citation IMHO is threefold, 1 to allow a future researcher to f…

Just installed the Firefox portable update and lo! I lost the tag selector again! I have tried deleting "local store.rdf" and making sure nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache did not exist (it didn't ) but no luck. I can't think of a way to repeat my…

As serendipity would have it, just as I had finished reading your post and was wondering how to find the correct sqlite files, a database whizz walked into my office and found them. Massive sense of relief and outbreaks of champagne! I offered to bu…

Here's a guess. I had .pdf files attached to some Zotero entries. Subsequently trying to independently back up my (separate) "store copy" I noticed the folders would stop copying when they got to a .pdf which had an incorrect filename. It unaccount…

Sorry about the time delay, I am 10 hours out of sync with you. 1. Yes, "My Library" (the only collection) has one file, a Zotero - Quick start guide 2. The zotero folder contains a "storage" folder, and 2 files; zotero .sqlite and zotero .sql…

I'm not a software developer of any kind, but this thread gave me an idea which might get third party software developed. What do you think of this? The ideas that people have for applications which the current developers think are outside thei…

Thanks noksagt. That explains it. I presume the other workaround from a users point of view is to convert the .PDF to a .Doc (or other) thus making it possible to mark and annotate the content but possibly making page numbering a problem for cita…

I just noticed if I take a snapshot of a webpage then highlighting works, but not if I try to use a "store copy of file" .PDF or a snapshot .PDF However it might be the same problem of indexation Scott mentioned. Neither .PDF was indexed, however al…

This morning (I'm an Aussie; we get delivery and usage of the day before most other subscribers to this site do) I was re working some of my tags. I'm pretty new to using Zotero so am probably using some laborious method that others are over. A …

Thanks Erazlogo, the information on how to save stops me from doing some very dumb things! On the second subject, I have looked at the posts on "organising notes" but I had in mind something that allowed management of all types of documents, files…

I solve this problem by running Firefox Portable with a Zotero extension on a data stick (Sandisk Cruser 4 G, which comes with a "partitioned disk" which allows easy software installation). I only use this version directly off the data stick without…

How do you update the document as you write without deleting the old one and replacing it? (I would also like a function in Zotero that allowed you to use your collections as a planner for writing eg the ability to put together all the materials …

Why not just (in a future edition) duplicate an "organise bookmarks" type of function as in Firefox but to order collections? (With separators, drag and drop positioning etc) This could kill two problems at once; organising collections so they made …

Oh Frabjous Day calloo callay!!! It works! Steps I got what you meant about the address bar and felt dumb. However as you predicted, the disable cache line was not there. The profile was a bit tricker, as the portable edition of Firefox has a …

Sorry I am a bit inexperienced and don't know how to "go to about:config in the Firefox address bar and make sure nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache either doesn't exist or is set to false", although I did have a go. Can you provide more details? I…

Thanks for the extremely prompt reply, However, that does not work either. I tried both ways with a reduced and an expanded Zotero window with the Zotero interface preference set at "below", but although I got the double headed arrow cursor mark…

Additional comments (or additional weirdness!) The Tag selector is visible if the Zotero window is running above the Firefox window, but not below. This occurs on both computers, home and work. I'm guessing this is a bug? To change it from one to …
