  • Hi, I do really like the collections idea, it is great to have subsets of related references and as Carina points out references often fit in multiple categories. But I have found categories awkward and as I have thought about it more think tha…
  • Hi, Really sorry Sean didn't mean to make you want to bite. Had a frustrating day trying to enter some references that I had read the day before - I couldn't sync my library, I was finding it a little awkward to download the pdfs into zotero, h…
  • I also just noticed when I exported my library (I just lost a note I'd written using 1.5 beta so I'm going to work in endnote for a while) that it exports everything in the trash as well as the other collections. Again this seems unintuitive. So I …
  • Hi Dan, thanks. I did read these first, but was probably counting on Zotero automatically copying the data to the new location when I selected it in preferences - this didn't happen (which is why the library was empty on start up I assume). …
  • This error is still occurring with 1.5 beta. However the fact that we cannot load the sync.zotero.org page suggests that the problem might have something to do with firefox on the mac and the zotero server. It make no difference whether I have…

  • Hi, If I understand you correctly then there are 2 options. One is to keep the library on the desktop (or somewhere easily located or a thumb drive or a network drive) and then it is possible to get Zotero on another computer to use that librar…
  • Hi Tjowens, Thanks I will have a look at doing that. My only concern is that I cannot access my work network from home as a network - only ftp. I think anyway. I might try it on a thumbdrive. My point was - wouldn't it be easier (especial…
  • I came across this discussion (among a few others) looking for information about how to make Zotero portable and I think the 2 issues are very related. I regularly work on 3 computers - one at work, 1 work laptop and one at home that are a mix…
  • Hi, While this is a great idea (not that I have been able to think it through), and I like tim.g's suggestion, I don't think this issues needs to be addressed via hierarchical support. it would also be possible to leave book chapters as a…
