Frank, I invited you to a rizzoma Wave, where I am documenting my feeble attempts to make this work. I think I nailed the first step. But when I try the QuickCopy (after having made the change in the export preferences) from my MLZ (in Firefox, vers…
-
Frank, I did figure out that first step. For those interested: 1. Install Python and make sure the path is set to the right folder (but I think the python installer for Windows does that automatically - see http://www.python.org/getit/) 2. Download …

Dear Frank, A question. We are currently writing up a report with an international (distributed) team across the globe. All of our (multilingual) references are in MLZ (although, as you know, we have been experiencing some problems with syncing tho…
-
Thanks Dan. After experimenting with it a bit, I found out that the other pc also wasn't fully sync'ed and that the read-only problem was caused (as others here have pointed out) by Kaspersky. I've paused the Kaspersky protection for a while, and pr…
-
Thanks again. My apologies - I'll make sure that my team follows these MLZ suggestions. And I must say that Frank has been fantastic in his support to our team. On the issue at hand: I guess I could do what you suggest. But I hope you understand my…

Dan, Thanks for answering. And yes that is correct: we are using the multilingual version, which is the only one that allows us to properly cite sources multi-lingually. But so is that the reason it isn't working? The strange thing is that it is w…

I just noticed this item was still open, although Chris has, in fact, fixed it. So in the newer versions of Paper Machines, topic modeling now also works under Windows. AND you can now also change various parameters. If somebody wants to see what th…
-
Ok! Thanks for your efforts and I'll do what you suggest for the time being.

Any news on this front?
-
Worked like a charm. No need to wait 4-5 minutes now after adding 100 references! Thanks much. And I will look into how to find out that processes have become irresponsive under windows. Thanks again!
-
Thanks Sebastian - sounds like a good idea. I'll try. But so and that is the only possible culprit? BTW - is there ANY way to somehow identify the moment at which everything is done and zotero is ready for business again? Other than through trial …

Yes I do use Firefox. Have just let the whole thing run for about an hour. Debug id=D288492050. See https://gist.github.com/3770531 . And nothing was actually downloaded. Here some more results from records 40-60 of a search, whereby the first 2 pa…
-
Ok. I started everything all over again. Disabled sync (because that sometimes takes a while and then I get an error message that I have to wait until the syncing stops). Opened Firefox with the error console window next to it. Ran the query, waited…

Hi Aurimas, Thanks much. I am running this on a Windows 7 home pc (and am not running a bittorrent client). I am still trying now (with the new version) with 50 items, but, like yesterday, it doesn't download anything. I'll post more details (and t…
-
It took me a bit longer than expected (/hoped) before I could try out the new translator, but I now have. The first time I tried with 20 articles and that went perfectly, and indeed quite a bit faster than before (although that might be because I us…
-
Wow! Thanks aurimas. I was busy whole day today, but should be able to try this tomorrow evening (Western European time) and will report back then. All of this sounds wonderful though...
-
@ aurimas. Thanks so much for looking into this. My hunch is that as more tools like 'paper machines' become available, more and more people are going to want to download larger sets of articles from wherever they can (JSTOR, Google Scholar, EBSCOho…
-
Could you try again please? I have now made the file totally public. And as to the search terms, I was using the 'smartsearch' function in this case, and had entered an article that I felt was the most perfect example I could find of what I was look…
-
Here you can see a screenshot of the search https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-opIuO3xlZsc3h6UGNzT2VvUk0. The URL is http://web.ebscohost.com.library3.webster.edu/ehost/ I do not use a proxy to connect to the internet, but just log in through my cre…
-
Sorry to have gotten sidetracked. So back to Ebsco. Here are some of the error messages I copied from the error console after I had tried to download 50 articles from an EBSCO search (Academic Search Complete, latest versions of Firefox and Zotero, …
-
Ok - update: Chris Johnson-Roberson, the author of this brilliant extension, has now fixed this bug and I can proudly report that I was probably the first one to ever have run this FANTASTIC Zotero-plugin on a Windows machine. And I can tell all of …
-
I think so too. Turns out you can't (easily) create an 'aux' folder in windows. But when I unpack the xpi with 7zp, for instance, it does do it properly (it automatically creates an _aux folder then). Is there any way I couuld use that workaround? I…
-
(I did - I posted it as an issue. Did you install it though? And if so, can you tell on which version it does work?)
-
And aurimas - thanks! I'll try again with the debug mode on. As to your questions: I was using proxy redirection, so I'll try without (although this DID work on Firefox). My search was on Academic Search Complete, I'm using a regular Boolean search…
-
Wow Sebastian! No I had not. Thanks much! I'm having problems installing the xpi (it says "paper machines could not be installed bacause Firefox cannot modify the needed file". But I'll keep trying! Update - also on the latest version of the standa…
-
Performance on getting the pdfs to download from Ebsco (through firefox) is still patchy for me. It DOES (kind of) work, but can take a very long time, and sometimes it just chokes. BTW _ does the translator also generate a log of what it does - to …
-
Sorry for posting in this thread - but it is still the first one that comes up when you search for 'Freecite'. I'm trying to import a bunch of papers that were never officially published and therefore cannot be automatically downloaded from the usua…
-
Things are a BIT clearer now. The style is essentially based on the recommendations made in the European Commission's Interinstitutional Style Guide (ISG) (http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-250504.htm). The number of concrete citation example…

I'm making the necessary inquiries - will get back to you as soon as I find out.

For those who are interested - I am happy to report that this is being worked on by one of the many incredible experts here on this forum! The person who is doing it will post back here when he has something.
