Alas, Safari Technology Preview 80 (which labels itself as Safari 12.2) removes support for legacy Safari Extensions: https://webkit.org/blog/8825/release-notes-for-safari-technology-preview-80/ On the bright side, the linked page notes that devel…
-
@mariabachmann – yes, alas, the extension has to be re-enabled every time you restart Safari, but at least you don't have to go through *all* the steps each time. Still, I curse myself every time I accidentally quit the program, and wish there were …

Thanks for confirming that it's not widespread – something in the combination of updating Zotero, rebuilding the Spotlight index, and restarting seems to have fixed it.
-
That's splendid; thank you!
-
This is actually not a very unusual situation if the material one is citing is something other than journal articles (i.e. anything for which one needs to add page numbers), and one needs to cite more than one work by a particular author. @nickbart…

(It seems that the forums will not display a web address if it is in angle brackets; you may want to get that fixed.)
-
I put the addresses in, but the system deleted them all. See the original bug report on GitHub: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/1395

I knew several people who broke their Office installation after moving or deleting the Microsoft User Data folder, back when it used to be created in the Documents folder by default.
-
No, I didn't miss that; Preview is simply very messed up right now, but surely it will be cleaned up soon. I would expect that anyone who really cares about annotation is doing it on a tablet or with another program. Moving a folder of what looks li…

It's great that you're looking for a way to make PDFs visible to Spotlight. But please reconsider the choice of ~/Zotero. The user expectation is that anything directly visible in the Home folder will be readily comprehensible and editable. Keep in …

If it's any consolation, editors of MHRA tend to be somewhat more lenient in my experience. At least from a practical point of view, it's a lot easier to take out than to add in.
-
Sorry for the slow response – I think this would be safe, if that's what you're doing for APA and users haven't given you grief over it. I wrote MHRA last year to ask if they would consider changing this policy.
-
Is this simply the problem listed at https://www.zotero.org/support/known_translator_issues ? I find that the JSTOR translator only works for me if I'm not accessing through the EZproxy server *and* I change the protocol to https. It's been like th…

Within certain fields (anything that mixes languages within one publication), the nocase option makes things much easier. I wasn't aware that it wasn't yet official; that would explain its absence in the documentation.
-
Along with Chicago, MHRA (3rd ed. p. 80) also calls for it.
-
Parenthetical references cannot, indeed, be automated at the moment, but in practice I find that this isn't much of an issue. I use MHRA frequently; I would say that the implementation is quite good at this point, but like everything else, you need …
-
A few years later, is there any chance of implementing this? Working from the handling of things like 'Jr', I wonder whether the user could simply indicate an attribution by putting both first and last names in brackets within Zotero, with citeproc …
-
Just out of curiosity, has a formal feature request for this been filed? This is also an issue for anonymous works in Chicago (see ¶ 14.79), which asks a bibliography to be sorted like this: Stanze in lode della donna brutta. Florence, 1547. A Tru…
-
Very good to hear; I've been editing the Citeproc JSON by hand before sending it on to Pandoc, editing everything other than journal articles to record the DOI properly. I've been sticking the DOI in as a URL; perhaps this isn't quite as good an ap…
-
I second this. I believe implementing this would require some additions to the fields; do we know whether this situation will be covered in the forthcoming update?
-
I did add support for reviews several months ago to some of the other Chicago files, though I can't remember which ones; I might sit down at some point and verify that everything has been synchronized. I really am mystified by the issue you note of…
-
Thanks, @S.Baack, for your comments; I was able to modify your citation key format to match zotxt exactly: [auth:lower:select,-1,1]:[year:nopunct:select,1,1][Title:lower:nopunct:skipwords:select,1,1]
-
Strange, that; I'm absolutely certain that that I never followed a link to the mobile site, but it isn't recurring after deleting cookies.
-
Ah, aurimas beat me to it. Is there any reason to put it on line 140 rather than at the beginning of the file?
-
You shouldn't have to be tracking down the first names of authors; Chicago ¶14.72 states: Authors’ names are normally given as they appear on the title pages of their books. Certain adjustments, however, may be made to assist correct identification …
-
I think this is the default behaviour of the repository system they're using. Cf. https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca
-
Just out of curiosity, are these changes potentially getting closer, with the new API syncing that came out at the beginning of the month? (The development roadmap page is currently outdated.) The need for some of these is beginning to get desperate…
-
The problem is that Chicago explicitly allows the inclusion of issue information (¶14.180): The issue number may be omitted if pagination is continuous throughout a volume or when a month or season precedes the year. Nonetheless, it is never wrong t…
-
Sorry, yes, I was thinking collection-title. Shouldn't be looking at these things late at night. I had noticed that about the rendering of journal articles awhile back: the issue is that the guide specifies this information shouldn't be included if…

Not at all, in fact. This is a very standard method for citing premodern manuscripts.
