Not all electron-based projects are horribly bad. When done right, one can get a lot out of it (Microsoft's VSCode is the best example IMO). I'm not a dev, just a worried user as you are:)

In addition to the Upload/Download progress bar it would be nice to have some indication for indexing added PDFs. Drag-n-drop of several large PDF files resulted in freezing of Z4 for a while (minutes sometimes), and in Z5 it looks like nothing happ…

@bwiernik, @Gracile Thank you guys very much, the code works for me. I guess it's been feature-requested and discussed million times before, but I would really, really appreciate if the devs include a BibTeX-key constructor in Zotero GUI. This wou…

@Gracile Thank you, function for [volume] works fine, but [shorttitle] will always return `noshortTitle` when not explicitly defined in Zotero entry ("Short Title" field, which is in 95% of my entries is empty). I would expect [shorttitle] to retur…

+1 for customizable BibTeX keys. I've been using a custom pattern for a long time with BBT extension, and as long as neither BBT nor custom key generator works with Z5, it is a showstopper for me and many others, I believe.

@Ksaha I usually deal with either papers or books. Being a lazy pleb I use Chrome with Zotero connector, and I also set DuckDuckGo as default search engine. With DDG you can use so-called "bang!" (check out https://duckduckgo.com/bang for more) ins…

@azautne How interesting. My LO uses 1.8.0_131 JRE exclusively. Probably you could try to get rid of all installed java versions (`sudo apt-get purge openjdk*` for Linux Mint, I think), and explicitly install the latest one, and then check whether …
-
@azautne *.sun.* and *.java.* strings are kinda suggesting there might be something wrong with JRE installation, or its version, which can confuse LO. Just for the record, I use JDK8 (8.0.131 to be precise) installed from chocolatey repo on my Windo…

@Ksaha Sure, no prob. Give it a try, if you face any issues, poke me.

@Ksaha AFAIK Google Scholar makes it really hard to batch export references. I used to use a workaround by utilizing Publish or Perish tool (https://harzing.com/resources/publish-or-perish), which fetches a lot of info from GS search or author prof…

@azautne I wish I had more experience with macOS, but I'm afraid I won't be that helpful for you as I've never dealt with macOS for production (shame on me). Just a lame idea though: if I would have some free time, I probably try to run Zotero in…

dotanhalevy I see, my example deviates from what you need quite a bit. Well, what I usually do is I create a collection called "_Inbox", which does a good job staying on top of all collections' list (thanks to underscore char) and I usually put a do…

Zotero Standalone 4.0.29.17 with LO 5.2.7.2(x64) on Windows 10 LTSB. No issues whatsoever. I noticed somewhat weird/inconsistent behavior on my colleague machine, and he's using Libre Office from the "fresh" branch, whereas I stick to the stable "st…

dotanhalevy What's the point of storing hundreds of photos under single entry? The context of this pile of pictures is not searchable, neither from your filesystem, nor from Zotero, as long as they are not OCRed. I usually merge scanned/captured doc…
