Thanks. But I must be missing something really obvious. I created a zotero.desktop file as (adding %u to the Exec entry does not change anything) [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Zotero Name=Zotero Client Exec=zotero Icon=zotero-icon Type=Applicati…

Is the zotero:// protocol currently supported in Standalone Zotero for Linux? I've read the threads listed here and in https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/24241/ and in particular I've seen the applescript solution in https://forums.zotero.org/di…

@janew1: You might want to use something that is not Dropbox. I use Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) though it requires that at least two devices be online at the same time. Also, you might want to check other discussions, such as https://forums…

Zotable with aggressive syncing: Even if I set aggressive syncing, collections and subcollections only have partial data. It seems that to have the full library on the tablet, I would first need to click on every single lower-most subcollection so …

Has anybody had any luck with moderately sized libraries (~ 4000 items)? For me, it never seems to finish syncing, even after wating for over 1 hour (I have a reliable internet connection). It eventually bails out and when you try to open it again…

Update: I prepared some code that takes a Zotero db and produces a db that Referey will understand. This will give you access to the PDFs in your tablet and preserves tags and collections, and it is much faster than the BiBTeX route. Available from…

A few additions to smatthie's comments. I use Erathostenes basically as he/she suggests (see details in https://github.com/rdiaz02/Adios_Mendeley#using-a-tablet, where I also have some scripts for automating all the steps). I do like that with E…

I've solved the issue by directly modifying the dates using https://github.com/flinz/mendeley2zotero (this whole issue came up while moving from Mendeley to Zotero via bibtex: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/26453/moving-from-mendeley-to-zot…

Not exactly as hyiltiz wants but this might help: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/26453/moving-from-mendeley-to-zotero/#Comment_229588

I have done the moving from Mendeley to Zotero, preserving collections, tags, dates, annotations, pdf annotations, etc. I use seeholzer's https://github.com/flinz/mendeley2zotero for preserving the dates; the rest of the previous work is done modify…

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am using Better BibTex, and timestamp is a field there. When I export using Better BibTeX, the bib file contains, in timestamp, the time when I added the entry (which corresponds to the time when I imported the bib …

Timestamp is a non-standard field and I think I got the idea from JabRef (I don't remember for sure, though). I can change the name to whatever needs to be. The key for me is being able to preserve a time stamp so I can order documents by that time …

zotfile.pdfExtraction.openPdfLinux does not seem to do anything. I am trying to get okular to open the annotation in the right page, but when I set `/usr/bin/okular -p` nothing happens and the PDF is not even opened. In fact, passing anything like j…

Dear Joscha and everybody, Is it possible to use ZotFile to have the location of files in a custom location (in a custom directory, as it is now, say with subfolders defined by /%a_%y_%t) but WITHOUT renaming the files themselves (the attachmen…

Thanks to both. I see now how to create collections via tags. DB access: I am not a lawyer, but I understand that access to the sqlite db on my machine by whatever means is legal. This was, I think, one of Mendeley's answers to the "this …
-
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try and report back. However, you say "create collections in Zotero based on those tags, which isn't terribly hard to do. " I've looked at the docs quickly, and played with the interface, and if I understand…

If I understand Dan's comments (the answer to the question I asked in the referenced to post), at least for PDFs, the excerpt is there. It is basically a matter of where/how to show it? I know nothing about UI, but could they be shown as tooltips, o…
-
This is still not impleted, is that right? I've been playing around with this and, if I understand correctly, either one syncs externally (e.g., via rsync or unison, not via Zotero syncs) the storage directories AND the sqlite files, or else one wou…

Dan: yes, ajlyon is correct about the intentions. ajlyon: I see your suggestion makes a lot of sense. However, I know close to no Javascript, nor anything about CiteULike's detailed behavior. Learning JS just for this was not an appealing idea to m…
-
Aha. OK, that could be a good way to go. Before I get going, and even if you do not remember the details, do you recall having to go page by page in CiteULike and clicking the "folder icon"? or did you import all go? I am assuming you did not go ent…
-
I tried again, with no luck: when I use your code in the CiteULike.js importer, I get the usual "An error occured while saving this item ...". That means I cannot import either one by one or by using the folder icon. I guess it must be something in…
-
Thanks for the answer. In fact, the first thing I tried was the built in import, and then your fix, but I could not get it work. I'll try again (and report).

Has there been any progress on these issues? I also have > 1500 entries in CiteULike, and I thought that RIS would be a last resort for getting the PDFs into Zotero, but that did not help either.
