What you are seeing in the central pane of Zotero after expanding an item is the "attachment title", which is different from the "filename": Attachment Title vs. Filename Attachments have two separate names: the attachment title shown in the items l…

I can now also observe this problem on Ubuntu 23.04, Zotero 7.0.0-beta.39+ecba25be0 (64-bit): Report ID: 661616927 Debug ID from "Restart with Logging Enabled": D256411626 Same steps to reproduce as above.

I can reproduce the problem on a Windows 10 laptop, Zotero 7.0.0-beta.39+ecba25be0 (64-bit). I see the same with a MX Master 3 mouse or a basic Dell cabled mouse. Same also on Ubuntu 23.04. So it does not seem to be related to the touch device or th…

Can you provide an example of a URL where you experience the problem? https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems

Beyond the many advantages of Zotero over Mendeley, it is important to point that Elsevier has already removed several features from Mendeley Desktop and they will completely prevent you from using it in the future: Mendeley Reference Manager will r…

Every now and then the right-click menu stops working throughout the whole desktop app. When trying to open it, then the right-click menu appears for a fraction of a second, before vanishing again. Some goes for the drop-down menu of the menu bar at…

If only the main window of the desktop app is open, working regularly, and then Gnome is reloaded (by using alt+f2, then writing r and pressing enter), Zotero isn't responding any more, the main window turns black and is flickering. Only closing the…

Where can I find this deb file? You need to follow the Installation Help link in the Download page. There is a section "Debian/Ubuntu-based Distros" on that page, linking to the zotero-deb solution maintained by retorquere.

To sum it up, the state of the sidebar is only remembered when documents are opened in tabs, not in new windows. This is counterintuitive and seems to be a bug. I can reproduce in both Ubuntu 23.04 and Windows 10.

In the desktop application, these two options disappear if I do the right-click on a parent item or on a PDF file already under a parent item. If you cannot see these options from a right-click on a PDF file without a parent item in the desktop app…

If you have PDF files in your library without a parent item (which contains the metadata), you should be able to add one with the right-click menu options: - Retrieve Metadata to attempt filling the metadata automatically - Create Parent Item to fil…

The default file renaming functionalities in Zotero 6 are described in the Hidden Preferences in attachmentRenameFormatString. Zotero 7 has been under beta for more than 3 months already, currently at version 7.0.0-beta.39. So you should not have m…

I have also moved from Mendeley Desktop to Zotero and I am very happy with the move. You can find some information regarding file renaming on this page: https://www.zotero.org/support/file_renaming

You can undo edits in a note with the shortcut Ctrl+Z for Windows/Linux (or Cmd+Z for Mac OS) as long as the note stays opened. You cannot undo the edits in a note after closing it. You can also use the same shortcut to undo edits in a field as long…

I understand that you have entered some items in your Zotero account that you can see in your online library. Now you want to see them in your desktop application. After installing Zotero on your PC, you need to login to your account in the desktop…

You can add an hyperlink on some text by highlighting the text to link and using the Insert Link button in the annotations toolbar at the top of the note. For windows, you just need to add file:/// in front of the actual path to the file to make it …

To install a plugin in Zotero, download its .xpi file to your computer. Then, in Zotero, click “Tools → Add-ons” and drag the .xpi onto the Add-ons window. https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins You can find the .xpi file following the link to the …

You can open PDF files in a separate window in Zotero: right-click on the item in the library -> "Open PDF in New Window".

Thanks. I will check more carefully in my next post.

You can change the view layout to Standard View in the top left menu View -> Layout -> Standard View

@poettli Thank you, indeed the Ubuntu bug is the one you had reported, and it is specific to Zotero 7.

See the answer here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/107088/zotero-add-on-vs-plug-in-vs-extension-naming/p1 "Add-ons" and "Extensions" in the UI are both from Firefox, but we're going to try to change those to "Plugins" before Zotero 7. We only…

The documentation you are looking for is here. Specifically for your example on highlights, you could use the following template in extensions.zotero.annotations.noteTemplates.highlight: {{highlight}} {{citation}} {{comment}}{{if tags}} #{{tags joi…

Currently, the two steps to permanently delete items in a shared library are exactly the same as in the personal library: I. Move to Bin "Are you sure you want to move the selected items to the Bin?" -> You can directly press Enter to validate Ok…

Can you try with a new item and verify that the transfer has removed the tags? Dragging items to another library can fail without any warning if the item was already previously transferred there.
-
@LuisBaz: Another post mentioned a similar problem due to the plugin Translate for Zotero. Can you still reproduce after disabling all your plugins? If the probem is related to a plugin, it should be reported on its GitHub page.
-
@kdqiu35 If you still see the problem with all plugins disabled, please open a new thread with clear steps to reproduce, including your operating system and Zotero version in your forum post.

Undo/Redo is possible for text editions in the readers (as well as in the notes or in the Info pane), but not for creating or deleting annotations. It is planned: PDF reader: Undo support. In the main window, you can undo items deletion by restorin…
