  • Thanks for the tip, philgons! Works in OpenOffice as well, just check the option 'Regular Expression' (Search & Replace > More Options). Since this also replaces hyphens in DOIs (thereby invalidating the links), I would not recommend runnin…

  • IIRC, Zotero doesn't move anything. If you point it to an empty folder, it'll complain, so I - quit Firefox - zipped the Zotero folder for backup - moved the Folder to /Dropbox/Zotero - started Firefox - set the new path in Zotero preferences
    in Do Your Back-ups! Comment by hussong May 12, 2009
  • I have been using Dropbox for six months now to back up and sync my entire Zotero folder (I'm still using Zotero 1.0) and it works like a charm. I like that it syncs everything automatically in the background without me even thinking about it. And …

  • I'm having the same issues (first names in citations) and I guess StephenHero is right about the cause. When there are differing entries for the same author in the database, e.g. "Smith, R." in one item and "Smith, Robert" in another, or "Miller, …

  • The number of references seems to be the main factor. I am running Zotero on an old PIII 750 MHz Laptop with 512 MB RAM (Ubuntu) and it works well with my 100+ references so far.

  • Great suggestion, I'd love to see that feature too! Living in Berlin, I am using several different libraries simultaneously. Changing the resolver URL back and forth in preferences is quite painful. The ability to save and directly access a…

  • I am having the same problems with opac.fu-berlin.de and I am looking for the best workaround. I noticed that you can also grab the citation information from the item display (Titelanzeige), but the imported data sucks regardless of the chose…
