• Thanks @adamsmith . But I'm not sure why is there any significant GUI issue here - the current GUI manages to search and locate items in Collections and Subcollections (often in *multiple* collections, or even (near-)*duplicate* items in *different*…

  in Searching across all group libraries Comment by srippon November 13, 2018
• Hi @adamsmith. This is a really important missing feature. Why? The first thing I do when I come across or return to an article I'm interested in is check to see if I already have a copy, and if I have any notes on it. But this is very cumbersome, i…

  in Bug: Copying of subcollections not working as expected Comment by srippon August 11, 2016
• Oh, I was misled by the manual on github, which indicates that copying collections is supported: https://zotero-manual.github.io/zotero-manual/collections#moving-and-copying-collections Can you treat this as a feature request? I find it useful …

  in Bug: Copying of subcollections not working as expected Comment by srippon August 11, 2016
• I wonder if it's a rare use case because it's so hard to discover via google-fu? Perhaps users think zotero just isn't designed for this. I found that quick copy is a kludge in MS Word because it mucks up the formatting (I'm inserting the citat…

  in Inserting bibliography Comment by srippon November 24, 2012
• Thanks adamsmith I followed your helpful instructions here after googling for an hour or more to try to figure out how to use zotero for help writing a syllabus. The instructions ain't easy to find!!! This can't be a very unusual use case among…

• Thanks. The edited book looks good now. And the the "op. cit."'s seem to be appearing in the right places - but they appear like this, without a space: Adam Smithop. cit.

• Also another problem, the "op. cit."'s are missing (at least for journal articles).

• I think: Martha Nussbaum (ed.), The Fragility of Goodness (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987), pp. 32-3.

• Thanks very much adamsmith. Just noticed a minor problem in citing an entire edited book: the style seems to assume I'm citing a section from it and give me an "in" preposition and the book title in place of the section title.

• Hi adamsmith - thanks for the style for the BMJ Group journals (this one isn't just for Gut!) Could you modify it a little bit to include the DOI even if page and volume is included? From their guidance: http://group.bmj.com/products/journals/instr…

  in Style Error: Gut Comment by srippon October 26, 2011
• Hi ajlyon, your fix to the Wiley Online Library translator is working great, but here's another minor issue: some journals print an asterisk or superscripted number at the end of the article title, and add a footnote. The translator is saving this a…

• Simon, Your comment made me realize that my title for this thread was unnecessarily confusing: I really wanted to see the last used reference *highlighted* in the add citation dialog, not actually *selected*. Having it one click away from selection …

  in Help with ibid. citations - have last used reference selected by default Comment by srippon July 29, 2011
• Mark, I assume since you haven't responded again that your objection has now evaporated? (BTW, I just noticed your earlier comment: "I regularly copy and paste a citation field, for instance when I quote multiple excerpts from a source", suggesting …

• Dan, thank you for responding, search history and that tweak combined would be very helpful :-)

• Dan?

  in Two minor search box feature requests Comment by srippon July 29, 2011
• Dan, I can't think of a current example of my greyed out inactive search filter suggestion. Windows 7 explorer places greyed out text in the search box, but it tells you which folder or library will be searched rather than recording the last search …

  in Two minor search box feature requests Comment by srippon July 26, 2011
• Mark - I don't understand your response. All that prompts the request is that from time to time (at least), most scholars want to cite the very same source twice in a row. That's common enough that they even invented "ibid." notation to make it easi…

  in Help with ibid. citations - have last used reference selected by default Comment by srippon July 26, 2011
• Thanks Simon and mark, it's good to know that I can copy and paste citations in Word (Is this still true for footnoted styles where Zotero creates the footnote?) But could the plugin still be modified to have the last source ready by default as I s…

  in Help with ibid. citations - have last used reference selected by default Comment by srippon July 26, 2011
• Dan, I thought you were making a broader claim. It's not obvious to me why you would think that greying out a non-active search filter is convoluted or complicated, though I respect your opinion. I think you misunderstood one of my remarks about Goo…

  in Two minor search box feature requests Comment by srippon July 25, 2011
• I agree that search history would be a great addition. I should have noted earlier that unlike google.com, Google Documents does clear the search box when you switch folders, like Zotero. But its alternative ways of making a single-click repeat sea…

  in Two minor search box feature requests Comment by srippon July 25, 2011
• Another google based suggestion: check out Google Documents. If you search within a label, you get a message above the search results with links to "Search in All Items" or "Clear Search". Also the label that you searched inside appears automaticall…

• Complicated and non-standard Have you seen http://www.google.com lately?! (OK it doesn't have the greyed out search term I suggested in response to your comment about iTunes. But it does (i) retain the search across category selections, and (ii) ha…

  in Two minor search box feature requests Comment by srippon July 25, 2011
• Dan, #1 is reasonable too, because one often wants (for example) to search the current collection for something, and then having not found it, one often wants to search My Library for the same thing! I'm not saying that the search actually has to c…

• Also, I suppose I'm in the camp that sees these names as quite reasonable-- I don't need the PDF's name to just repeat the parent item's data, since I know what the parent is already. Actually, you're quite right! You've just made me realise was onl…

• Any devs looking at this?

  in Two minor search box feature requests Comment by srippon July 25, 2011
• That version of the translator seems to be working wonderfully, ajlyon. Just a minor niggle: Are the attachment labels still supposed to be "Wiley Full Text PDF" by default, even though this has proven to be a wildly unpopular option with your user…

• That link opens a new tab with the text pasted below, and the PDF starts downloading automatically. (By the way, I find it hard to believe that UCLA doesn't subscribe to Philosophy & Public Affairs electronically despite its budget troubles - it…

  in Wiley InterScience translator and UPPERCASE Comment by srippon July 20, 2011
• Your latest version does get the authors right, presenting them in title case. But it still fails to grab the PDF for any link I've tried. It also grabs titles and short titles in upercase when they are presented as such on the site (try the links u…

• The new translator seems to be broken. I tried it at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1088-4963.2009.01154.x/abstract The existing one works here (aside from the capitalized author names and failure to attach the PDF).
