@adamsmith Thank you very much! I confirm that it is working for me also now.
-
@dstillman Thank you very much for the fast fix! I have tested the beta on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04, and it works nicely now.

@hsiangyu_wong Thank you very much for all the improvements. I confirm that everything is working for me now. The key 'P' as shortcut would work nicely for me I think. Having an option to customize it would answer all user cases, if it conflicts wi…

Thank you for the update.

@hsiangyu_wong Thank you very much for all the new features! The plugin really improves a lot the navigation experience in the library for me. I guess it can make it to the official list of plugins? https://www.zotero.org/support/plugins A few mino…

A naïve query from Crossref suggests that the metadata looks good -> "type":"book-chapter" Incentive Motivation Book Chapter published 14 Feb 2019 in The Cambridge Handbook of Motivation and Learning on pages 163 to 182 Authors: Patrick Anselme, …

@scottseagroves As I understand: - If you import from the Zotero Connector, it will recognize the chapter and add the correct DOI of the chapter in the Extra field, as mentioned by @bwiernik . This is the recommended way to add missing fields, as Zo…

@hsiangyu_wong I confirm that the update has fixed the problem. Thank you very much! Small ideas: - The preview in the Info pane seems to have a fixed height. It is possible to adjust the height on one item, but this change is reset to the default …

@hsiangyu_wong Thank you very much for the plugin! I see some issues with the positioning in the Info tab: Zotero_Preview_01.png. Using Zotero 6.0.12-beta.2+fc0f6157d on Windows 10.

Is there an update on this?
-
Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate that these issues are known and will likely be fixed in the future. And I understand that development priorities are better decided from a larger perspective of all users feedback, with the issues I d…

I would love to have a DOI lookup feature in Zotero. I have many entries which do not have the correct DOI metadata or wrong metadata. The current steps available in Zotero to fix the metadata are still much longer than what a simple DOI lookup woul…
-
Thank you for the explanations. I understand that Zotero has some standard behaviour for the "Attachment title" and the "filename" that are set during import through Zotero tools. But, the current limitations are: 1) The user does not have any syste…
-
I understand your point that there is a reason behind this limitation, due to the features offered by the "My Publications" folder. But I would like to emphasize that building a publications list may not be a 30 seconds job in many cases: 1) A publi…

I have finally made a new clean import from Mendeley without ZotFile. I do not see any duplicates anymore, so this is consistent with pointing to ZotFile as the culprit. Some other remarks on the naming of the files. From what I can see: 1) The nam…
-
A small update on this thread. I have noticed that importing from Mendeley created duplicates probably due to a conflict with ZotFile: PDF files duplicates produced when importing from Mendeley. I have finally decided that it was worth importing ag…
-
I probably do not understand yet how to use properly the concept of different attachment title and filename in Zotero. I like having the ability to choose the name of the pdf files. The reason behind is that I find it more practical when sharing th…
-
Thank you for your reply. I guess the "PDF" naming identification is probably the easiest way to go for me here. Where is this naming coming from? It seems indeed that the name of supplementary files is still the same as what was in Mendeley. But th…
-
Thank you for the tip. That helps, but faster navigation to supplementary files would be really nice.
-
I would also love to have this feature in Zotero. Although Zotero strongly discourages this workflow, importing from a PDF file is already possible. So I guess it is just about improving an existing functionality. From previous discussions, I guess…
-
This would also be useful for me. I have ~200 items in my library with "Creator" displayed as "Zhang et al." for example. So more information visible from the middle pane would be welcome. The constrains in horizontal room for smaller monitors could…
-
Thank you for your replies. I now understand better the reasoning behind the decisions for the design, although my workflow does not completely agree with them. Hopefully this discussion can help bring a different light on other related comments fro…

I have tested to merge the items in this example: Zotero_Duplicates_02.png. The merging process did not take me to the resulting merged item. So I had to search for it manually in the main library, through ordering by "Date Modified" for example. Th…
-
Ok, I see it now. If you sort by almost any other field they'll be sorted together. This statement is based on the assumption that the metadata is already "almost" identical, probably related to the way that these duplicates are identified. But if o…
-
Here are two simple examples of the problems I describe: 1) I usually download a list of PDF files on my computer to have a look at them first and eventually edit them or remove the irrelevant ones before adding the selected ones to my library. Thi…
-
I had the impression that Zotero was moving away from its original design as a "web-first tool", through the standalone app and the very nice recent pdf reader with annotations and notes. I am trying to point some of the limitations I experience in …
-
After trying many times, here is a repeatable procedure to obtain 2): Zotero_NoteLink_01.png a) Write some text in a note ("Test"). The position of the text in the note or the content do not seem important. Even an empty first line seems to work. b…
-
Thank you for all the clarifications. The puzzle is getting together. So the translators just give the ability to format the metadata from the items in the library, including the metadata of the parent item and its child items. But they cannot acces…
-
The example above has clarified that the Quick Copy cannot produce a different output depending on which PDF file you are currently viewing within a single parent item. Having the ability to produce a different ouptut depending on the current select…
-
I agree that a simple example will better illustrate my points. Let's consider a publication in my library with two attached PDF files (e.g. the main publication PDF1 and its supplementary material PDF2). I open PDF1 in the Zotero PDF viewer. From t…
