However, the styles I've been writing have only been for journals in the natural sciences. Most papers published in these journals use only a small subset of item types in their references (mostly journal articles, a few chapters, books and patents)…

@elena: At the very least, notes in collections should be sortable in the same way they now are in reports--independently of parents and with short source info available. I don't use the reports feature much, and am not seeing this. Is this a 1.5 fe…

@dh: I presume on 1 that you're using a Mac? Search for the forums for your answer (in short, not Zotero's fault, and nothing they can do about it). I agree with your other points; I don't see any reason why they couldn't be supported, but I don't …
-
That' s a point where zotero could score easily. True. But if you search through the forums, you'll find a lot of discussion about this. It's all a question of balancing competing priorities.
-
@erazlogo and scot: As you both know, there are a number of issues/possibilities with notes that have come up on the forums, with perhaps the most obvious being support for "rich text" (though I'd prefer more building on a subset of HTML than trad…

@zmg: you've made your point elsewhere; no need to keep beating on this. This thread is about comparisons with Endnote. The last I recall, Endnote only allows one note per record, so your complaints here don't seem relevant.
-
I don't agree. For me there are many higher priorities, even WRT to notes.
-
Is this a footnote style? And what is the "special method"?
-
Pandoc, a markdown-based document conversion tool, has recently added support for citation markup and processing (using the same CSL language as Zotero). It might be worthwhile to consider supporting that same markup in Zotero.
-
I don't speak for Zotero, but my hunch is yes, wait. Dan Stillman mentioned they'd be releasing the new plug-in soon (IIRC, in days, not weeks or months).
-
A lot of styles were added before we had macros, so there's some legacy. Also, there are times when you do need types. But just as an example of what I was talking about, you'd rely on macros like: …
-
I fixed #1, but I'm actually not sure how to deal with #2. For someone from the Zotero team, I'm unsure on what CSL variable to use for the court.
-
Keep in mind: most styles are developed using unpaid labor; someone steps up and offers to help. So if you're going to ask for these syles, you need to be willing to do a minimal amount of work to make it easier for people to do this. In short, li…

@arggem: I'm not sure you're talking about the same thing. This should be reasonably easy, actually. You're just effectively doing a glorified search-and-replace operation on a file. It's just that you do it after you're done editing the document; k…
-
So then you can probably just version control the folder that Zotero uses to store those documents (which are not stored in the database).
-
Dan, I've probably said this before, but WRT to this use case vision ... Allowing multiple authors with different libraries, different sets of items, and/or differing versions of the same items to edit the same document is a difficult problem to do …
-
And how are you going to manage the document?
-
You'll probably want to hear from Dan Stillman for a definitive answer, but in the meantime ... As far as I'm concerned, Zotero has (rather sadly) not been designed for this use case, though I do know they've been thinking about it. So ATM you'll n…
-
Nice Dan. I take it there's no reason the iPhone-oriented styling won't also work for other similar smart phones (say the new google android stuff)?
-
While I use version control for my documents, I don't see much point in version-controlling a database; syncing is quite enough.
-
No, though there has been discussion of adding support for it. If Zotero commits to supporting it, I have no problem adding it, but I've not really gotten a firm commitment from them.

It's been noted here already (in the post on donations). Reuters is full of crap.

@Matt: can you do me a favor, and just point me to where BB these rules show up? I can fix it, but a) I'd like to confirm, and b) I'm busy.

This is an empty lawsuit, and it's probably not in the long-term interests of any edu user or institution, much less Zotero, to let Thomson get away with this. I'd love to see the Software Freedom Law Center pick this up, much like they did the suit…
-
Good idea.
-
The "my library folder" is just the entirety of your database. Any other folders are simply subsets of that database. Conceptually, Zotero works like iTunes or GMail, where you have database entries, and folders or playlists are just pointers to th…

At the crude end of the spectrum it seems surely possible to define a type called 'user type' that has fields 'specific user type' and 'user parameter field' 1,2,3 etc... As I said in another thread, this is so crude as to be useless. This kind of s…

"Generic" is not always better; at all. It can be much worse, in fact, if you want to be able to interoperate with other users or applications. Just ask former Endnote users who relied a lot on its user-defined types and fields how easy it was to mo…

Zotero has saved searches. The Zotero team gets hundreds of feature requests, and not everyone shares the same priorities, nor the same perspective on how to solve the specific issues. For example, there's been long threads on what you call "for…
