There are some things that Zotero can do to reduce the confusion (like not allowing to cite PDFs in the classic view, which is, however, mostly deprecated and is not the default method of entering citations. By default, you cannot cite PDFs), but yo…
-
Not yet, but it's planned
-
In case you haven't seen this page https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata The only way to make Zotero download PDFs is either to use the Embedded Metadata option (i.e. tags and citation_pdf_url), but that only works for individual it…
-
Correct. Basically, just use Zotero as is (without ZotFile) and let ZotPad/PaperShip deliver the PDFs to your iPad. You do need to make sure that file attachments and write permissions are enabled in your Zotero group library. You can do this under …
-
You can use Papership App or Zotpad to access PDFs stored on zotero.org. They don't have to be stored on your DropBox.
-
zotfile also sends it to dropbox This is done by taking the attachment from your Zotero data directory, copying it to Dropbox, removing the original attachment from Zotero, and attaching to the Zotero item a _link_ to the file in Dropbox. For techn…

and what you "workflow using zotero/zotpad/zotfile" currently is
-
Perhaps you had duplicates to begin with and you were simply editing the wrong item (i.e. not the version you had inserted into your Word document)
-
(unless it's not being downloaded properly)
-
Can you post the file you're trying to add on Dropbox (or something similar) and post a link here?
-
There should be an "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop. Inside it you will find a "zotero" folder. Use that folder as your backup data directory and follow the instructions here
-
That would be bad, since Google Translate extension is probably quite popular. I can't reproduce the issue however. Can you provide some more information about your setup? What OS are you on? Which version of Chrome are you running ( chrome://versio…
-
Also, take a look at https://www.zotero.org/support/quick_start_guide It's not entirely up to date (e.g. the Zotero button in Firefox is now a Z next to the URL bar), but it will give you a good idea of how Zotero functions
-
That looks normal to me (@Dan/Simon, actually I'm a little surprised that only Open WorldCat translator is parsed for the initial detect, but I haven't looked at Chrome detect logic in a while) @oxband, do you have any other Chrome extensions insta…
-
If she can create a text document inside that folder (delete it afterwards), then it's probably some security software on her computer that's interfering with Zotero. Try disabling it temporarily and see if the sync completes.
-
You need to use a Zotero client. https://www.zotero.org/download/
-
That's probably from the web console, not the browser console.
-
For snapshots it shortens but doesn't relink (since, as you say, that would be quite difficult), so those just break and stay in the attachment directory.Right, that's what I meant. Breaking snapshots is better than breaking syncing, I guess. We cou…
-
Yes, that would suck. You can, of course, restore from a backup. No other solution atm, but perhaps in the future.
-
collections don't go to trash. They're just removed. But removing a collection does not delete the items inside the collection. The items would still be in your library. You would just have to re-add them to the collection after re-creating it.
-
Or do you mean I have to add the "duplicate" tag to all duplicate items?Yes2. Open the duplicates collection. Select all item with Ctrl/Cmd + A and drag-drop them onto the "duplicate" tag in the tag selector. This will tag all duplicate items.That's…
-
If deleting is ok and the duplicates are coming from separate imports (e.g. A1, B1, C1, D1 were imported first, then you imported A2, B2, C2, D2), then the following may work out well. 1. Select one of the items that is duplicated and tag it with "…
-
Also test if you can import the item by clicking on the icon. If you have Zotero Standalone open, it should import into your selected collection. If you don't have it open it should import into "My Library" online (and then sync).
-
No solution atm. Are the references identical? (except for date added, date modified timestamps) Otherwise, I'm not sure how Zotero is supposed to automatically figure out which metadata you want to keep and which you want to discard.
-
Correct. The errors above generally should not happen, but it's hard to diagnose the issue without a specific website in mind. https://www.worldcat.org/title/inquiry-into-the-nature-and-causes-of-the-wealth-of-nations/oclc/167332 is a good page to t…
-
Have you moved your Zotero library to some non-default location (e.g. Dropbox or a network drive)? One thing I found suspicious was that the file 'zotero.sqlite-journal' cannot be deleted, renamed, or such.Are you trying to do this while Firefox is …
-
Can you export a reference that does not work from Zotero as Zotero RDF and paste the file contents to http://gist.github.com ? Then link to it here.
-
I'd say try switching to a different footnote style then back, but depending on how you did your manual edits, that may overwrite your changes. Try it on a copy of your document. Otherwise, can you still edit the citations using Zotero's Edit Citat…
-
Is there a way to tell which folder/catalogue an item is in having searched for it by name? This might alleviate some of my confusion.https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item
-
they are just floating loose in the main group library. Is that the same as being unfiled?That's exactly what unfilled means: not in any collection. Since notes do not "carry over" you are certainly not looking at the same exact items (could be dup…
