Sure. Hierarchy helps when I'm adding the tags, because I can find the tags easily, starting with the top-level tag. Without hierarchy, I have to come up with the names of the tags among many. For me, a good alternative to making the tags hierarchi…
-
For me, both are important. One key difference between tags and collections (which are already hierarchical) is that tags can be searched by typing in their names, unlike collections. It would be great to be able to search something hierarchical (be…

Hi Joscha, Zotfile recently started not to rename attachments when I try 'Manage attachments - Rename attachments.' Instead it shows the following message: Attachments skipped because they are top-level items, snapshots or the file does not exist.…

"if people used them all it could be pretty hard to distinguish them in the middle pane (e.g., between the two purples at the end, not next to each other?)." : If a user often use a certain set of color tags together, he or she can choose the color…

I'm having the same problem with Zotero 4.0.5 on FF 20.0 on OS-X 10.8.3.

The add-on homepage describes that: "Chancing the active item with arrow keys while the QuickLook is open will change the item that is shown in Quick Look." But when I press arrow keys while an item is up, ZQL shows the next page of the same PDF, …

Regarding implementation of the above idea, one may wonder what should happen to the collection list when the user searches for a term that appears in multiple collection names. The ideal solution is to allow selection of multiple collections. But i…

I want to echo the need for hierarchical tags. I also want to add that, if Zotero just supports search by collection names (respecting the recursive collection option), that will effectively become hierarchical tags. It will be especially useful …
-
I realized that choosing multiple collections, if becomes possible, will have similar effect, by reducing the number of collections you need to define an item. See my post above and this thread.
-
I also wanna reiterate Bionatsci's point that choosing multiple collections will almost make it a hierarchical tag system. It will enable combinatorial collection to define an item, as in here. Multiple selection will be a really exciting feature.
-
I'd want that. (Placing the new item in all selected collections.) That would be even more fantastic. I'm dense about plug-in programming, but I'm eager to give opinions about interface questions like this.
-
Big +1 for this. I'm constantly peeking at any reference manager that has this functionality. So essential. Currently, Performing search with 'all..' 'folder is..' options can do this, but it is way too cumbersome.
-
I also vote for search by collection name. It will enable very intuitive combinatorial search. For example, imagine having collection structure like following: 1. Topic 1.1. feedforward control 1.2. feedback control 1.3. sensing 2.…

One bug report and one suggestion: Bug report: When I close all FF windows and open one again (without quitting FF), Zotfile context menu from the list pane (e.g. Rename Attachment) has 'warning' above it and doesn't work. It recovers only wh…

+1 Cheers on visual marking feature!

p.s. 2 After editing, you should also rezip it with jar cf zotero.jar content locale skin

Additional note for a newcomer for a Mac like me: You can substitute the 2. in my comment with below. 1) launch Terminal 2) go to the folder where zotero.jar is in with cd folderName 3) extract zotero.jar with jar xf zotero.jar

I use the following method: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/10488/hide-details-panel-and-setting-button/#Item_9 The right pane is a problem even when you have a 1440x900 monitor. I really hope this modification become integrated in the f…

Wow, thanks Dan! I succeeded in hiding it! This is the first time I modified Zotero for myself. Below are the steps for newcomers like me: 1. Find out zotero.jar. Described in http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/modifying_zotero_files …

How can I apply zwhuang's code to the current version (2.1.1)? I found and opened overlay.xul, but I cannot see which part of its content corresponds to the above code.

I'm sorry, adamsmith, and thanks, ajlyon! I found the code at http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/10488/hide-details-panel-and-setting-button/ , but can't see how to apply it. I left comment on that thread.

Can anyone tell me how I can hide the right pane? Adamsmith mentioned it above, but I cannot find it in the forum with the keyword 'right pane'.
-
Sorry for ignorant question, but where is the 'gears' menu? I created the option, but I cannot find the menu..

@mheim Could you tell me how I can try running your code? Yours seems to parse PDF & add notes to Zotero, if I understood correctly. If it is so, I would love to try it!
-
I also would love to try this code. How can I do it?
-
Greg, Your program seems great: Importing PDF highlights into Zotero notes are just what I need to do. It also has the advantage that Chickenfoot can be installed on FF3.6 while POW is not. However, it seems that it doesn't work for Window…

Thank you for asking, and sorry for delayed update. At the time of posting, it didn't download any of them (Double-clicking attachments showed 'cannot find attachment' message.) However, today I found that the problem is solved, without figuring out…

I suggest a list of very simple algorithms for duplication management that can be easily implemented. Although this would not be perfect, I think most users will be *far happier* having this, than having none. 1. Notifying when the user tries t…

I think hard-binding Alt+Double Click to force Zotero to open PDF would be a good idea, if automatic selection is tricky..
-
The problem persists for me. Double-clicking on an item with manually attached PDF still opens the snapshot rather than the PDF... I'm using Zotero 2.0.
