I am a regular user of CherryTree external editor .. https://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/ I envisage that a link could be made between any Zotero note and a CherryTree note/node. This theory can be tested, using CherryTree command line. That is, bin…

I was interested in this request for note privacy, did some initial research, and I can see a possible route to use crypto.js to encrypt/decrypt note content. Requires url protocol handler and automation script as I suggested in another thread to cr…

I do not have a Mac (I am on Ubuntu) and I do not use Bookends. But recently I have been studying how to integrate Zotero with other tools in an overall development workflow. A toolchain. One such tool which might help in migrating your Bookends in…

I understand. Certainly cross-platform automation is not for the casual experimenter. I am now using test scripts which auto-drive the Zotero UI, and extensions. I have picked up examples of the Javascript API as documented in various posts. [P.S.…

I have played further with the ideas I posted above. I would warn that embarking on this adventure might distract you from any important research work you are on. Do not expect quick results. I retract the idea about injecting url protocol handler …
-
Good idea. After some thought I can see one possible workaround to give you this feature you request. Basically in each Zotero note you can add links. Now this allows web pages to be launched from any Zotero note. But also creating url protocol hand…

I have used ripgrep for find and replace operations and I see that there is an adapter to grep sqlitedb. https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all https://docs.rs/ripgrep_all/0.8.7/ripgrep_all/adapters/sqlite/index.html But I would clone your exist…

I posted some notes here on setting up Ubuntu launcher properties. Should apply to Mint. Just change the paths to zotero installation. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/68453/install-zotero-5-0-on-ubuntu#latest

I have a similar requirement in a development workflow and I am attempting to write external automation scripts to "drive" the Advanced Search window by emulating user actions such as key strokes. It is an experiment in driving Zotero from an extern…

I think I need to restructure my earlier question which might be confusing. I have Zotero 5.0.76 standalone. I am having to recollect how to apply extensions. I have built a local library of items (links to remote documents, articles etc.). I now …

I mused in this discussion https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/266718#Comment_266718 that Zotero collections might be fed into an instance of IBM Dr Watson machine learning. But then we end with a massive Dr Watson whose accumulated kno…

Re: Item 1. I am currently experimenting with this by running a python3 script using glob.glob module to recursively scan for file types and pass to Pandoc for conversion to text. Then these text files are analysed as a corpus using concordance too…

I have not tested this yet. But if the Zotero JS scripts are held in either Atom or VSCode they can be called as snippets using short alias names and expanded and run through debug-bridge. In fact such snippets might be exchanged as packages through…

My interest is in searching not just pdf annotations but a full text version of the pdf in each item, for purposes of concordance analysis (text mining). My first thought is to run through the collection and apply pandoc to convert pdf to text. Unl…

I am far from being the best contributor to respond to this post since I dip in and out of Zotero from time to time for my own development purposes. However you have a vision which should not be lost. It seems to me that you are looking for a work…

I have just started reading about debug-bridge but have not yet started trying it out. I read that "code-runner VSCode extension" is required. Is it feasible to work with Atom code-runner instead of VSCode? I'm on Ubuntu 16.04. Atom is my main edit…

Coincidentally, I am investigating the pipeline to pass original documents into Scribus. Scribus can import from a number of source formats including LibreOffice *.odt. Scribus also has useful scripting capability to generate Scribus *.sla files. Bu…

@bwiernik I'm just starting to study uses of RMarkdown, Can you expand more on how to get Zotero/BBT citations into RMarkdown?
-
Also there is the option to directly convert Markdown into presentations using Pandoc > reveal.js. https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/wiki/Example-Presentations For scientific presentations RMarkdown might be more appropriate.

@taylorspencephd There are many causes of PC crashes (sometimes hardware such as memory and sometimes software) and you need to start working on a forensic troubleshooting plan. I would try these steps of elimination of causes. Does manuscript…

@bwiernik Personally I have no Word Processor issues. The OP has. The suggestion is simply to test if same problems occur with LibreOffice.

I am only browsing through the forum but I am interested in learning how to troubleshoot such issues. I read your configuration from here ... version => 5.0.45, platform => Win32, oscpu => Windows NT 6.1; WOW64, locale => en-US, appNam…

First thing I would do is to copy the zotero.sqlite files you have found by your searching around and place them into a safe location. That find does looks encouraging. Perhaps you could try these files on a different PC as zotero databases before …

"we had to wipe my user profile" Probability of data recovery depends on exactly how your user profile was wiped and what value the data has. I would immediately stop using your local PC, in case your profile (which might still be buried in your P…

Computer specialists can charge an arm and a leg for data recovery. If OP has any basic knowledge of computers it can be quite straight forward, and low cost, to recover data from a crashed drive. First you need to clarify if you are on Windows, Ma…

When you write you "lost" your HD, if the disk crashed it is quite possible to recover data. But you really need to expand further on your circumstances. What OS and disk? What do you mean by "lost"?

As a test you might try running this command in terminal .. mount | grep ^/dev
