  • Thanks - I just counted 46 seconds when starting up. I do have a few notes and attachments but not a lot. Right click - Retrieve metadata for PDF and Create Parent Item. But it just takes a while for the menu to open (not now I've just tested it, o…
  • Indeed it can't. And adding automatic tags is a bad thing - I just have to take them out. But being able to have my own tags added automatically - that would be good.
  • Yes, it feels a bit friskier. No probs then, I can certainly live with it.
  • Now left output log D679994758 .
  • I thought I'd checked for any relevant answers already but I see 'Is it possible to Delete *all* automatic Tags' reminds us that we can now delete auto tags! This is good, but what I usually do is to rename them to my existing tag where appropriate…
  • Hurray! Just upgraded to 5.0 standalone from 4 and it looks (and works) just the same. You get wary of these things, particularly when the upgrade process warns you that the existing installation will be removed. Why not add to that message that ear…
  • PS This is just the sort of helpful support that was so lacking with Qiqqa, which I used to use.
  • Thank you Gracile, that'll be very useful. But why the default behaviour is open-item, I don't know. Don't follow? Don't worry. Thanks!
  • Must be Qiqqa - the proper filename is C:\Users\dbrea\Google Drive\Read\History\_Work\Qiqqa export library 170319\docs\Dunshea2016 - The road to Winwæd- Penda-s wars against Oswiu of Bernicia, c. 642 to c. 655.pdf but that itself is a Qiqqa-manufact…
  • Hi Adam. I've been slicing and dicing my lengthy list of BibTeX references - first into files with a couple of hundred references, then fifty - finally down to individual references, to find out the dodgy one. This is it - @article{dunshea , autho…
  • OK. It's loaded the bib file, looked through it and succeeded with only 360 entries. The first three entries in the bib file are - @article{vanthienen2016symbol , author = {Van Thienen, Vince} , title = {A symbol for late Roman authority re-examin…
  • Well, what do you know again! Googling around I just found a very useful site called Mastering Zotero! Thanks for that too!
  • Well, what do you know? Doing it the proper way seems to be working (early days ...) I wasn't sure just what to Import - which file to point the file selector at. But I used the qiqqa.bib file and the computer's rumbling away Importing Items so it …
  • Sorry no, I was a lot more stupid than that. I just dragged the pdfs in. I haven't tried a proper import - I was just looking at that, now I know I've got URLs, when your answer came in. I'll give it a go the proper way.
  • Sorry Adam, I forgot I'd asked about this here and have accidentally started another discussion. ANYWAY, I find that Qiqqa will in fact produce a BibTeX file with URLs - @article{vanthienen2016symbol , author = {Van Thienen, Vince} , title = {A sy…
  • Hmm, I'll look into that. Thanks, it hadn't occurred.
