Great! Thanks! For any puzzled others: Open Zotero Preferences. Highlight the style you would like to modify (in my case Chicago 17th (note, annotated bibliography). Click "Style Editor" under Tools. There are a zillion lines but the key one to ch…

Thanks! Inserting citations and generating bibliographies is indeed too cumbersome. In the process, I came upon two work-arounds to the Word glitch: 1. Drag and drop and then click on the "increase indent" button in "Paragraph" in the Word 2013 Ri…

I don't use the word plug-in at all in my course syllabi, as I have not figured out how to make it work as quickly as dragging and dropping or using "create bibliography from item" for multiple cites. Working from within Zotero Stand Alone is a fas…

I must say this problem is still driving me crazy. I drag and drop a lot into syllabi and constantly have to reformat just those citations. My left margin moves .33" So the word processor plug-in doesn't work for me as I drag and drop individual …

Thank you. I upgraded to stand alone and functionality is restored. Never heard of this development until I tried to coordinate a group. Tom

Firefox Zotero extension, version 4.0.29.22 Is this something that requires that I upgrade to 5.0 stand alone? Next to the Z button I usually got a symbol that designated recognition of the pdf attachment or article. Now all I see is the Web Pa…

Neither works for me in the ProQuest Historical Newspapers using Firefox. It used to download quickly and seamlessly. Very frustrating. Anyone have any recommendations??

No I am searching cities, such as "Danville" in All Fields and Tags, and it still hangs up after typing only one character (now its 15 instead of 30 seconds). So I'll just have to use " before all searches now.

I copied over to 7.8 GB to SSD and have just a bit more speed too. Perhaps worth it to use this out of the 256. This is a newspaper article database downloaded from ProQuest with about 8000 pdfs for my second book on civil rights in 1963 and the m…

I still get hung up for 5-30 seconds when I type something in the "All fields & tags" box. Is this library just too dang big? Should I put all searches in " "? Thanks for your help. I'll let you know if I go SSD and what the results are. Tom

Okay. Perfect. Thanks! Whew. That was a more modest 800 MB upload. If I move to SSD, should I chose the profile directory first, then close, then copy? Tom And I don't use the touch screen for firefox or zotero (I have 3 monitors, so if touch scr…

1. Getting updated data from sync server --- lasts for 30 seconds now. 2. but it is currently trying to upload 4.2 GB to the server, that is 10245 files. Why is it trying to do this? Progress is at 5%. Turned off touch screen.

I am thinking of using the SSD. Please advise. TJ

Tag selector has been closed. " " does speed things up. I turned off auto-sync. This upload issue is the larger one now. Syncing goes on for a long time, then you get the green bar, which hangs up at 12% of an enormous upload that it seems to …
-
That operation was a sync error. Firefox freezes for a minute or so each time I type a character into the search box. After ten minutes of syncing "data" an upload starts (I got to 12% before the (!) error message, but why would it be trying to…

8870 items unexpanded 21198 items expanded to include pdfs and notes. Thanks.

"A file sync error occurred." then instructions on sending the report. Working on things you mentioned.

Report ID: 1984823225 (from latest sync error). It looked like the program was trying to upload 4.7 GB to the server, after adding maybe 10 news articles and deleting several groups. I also turned on Debug output logging. Here is the ID: …

Still a problem after updating translators on both machines in Firefox. This is new and can significantly slow down my collaboration with students on this project. Is this a ProQuest change, or a Firefox change? Can it be put back? As I said: a…
-
Dan, Didn't see this so I copied the whole "Zotero" folder into the profile after deleting the old one. Works flawlessly now -- fingers crossed -- but now I finally have a backup. Given all the possibilities for file corruption, would just …

Here is my error report (just figured this out). 496079083 Yes I've been trying to sync for about 12 hours, but only for the last 4 have I just let it run without interference. I'll stay up as late as possible to keep the computer from going to …
-
Options: I am thinking of doing this, though the data integrity check came out positive. But the process might be interminable; the problem is this is a university computer that goes to sleep every 30 minutes unless used: (Zotero only syncs expli…
-
So who can I pay to do that? The only thing I've ever patched is a torn backpack where the critters got my trail mix.

Okay I stumbled on a solution, I think. In FIREFOX Tools Options General, I didn't have the "save files" set to Download folder, rather to the "ask me" option. When I switched, this nagging "error" message disappeared, and I don't have to set a cust…
