I have learned today a quick and dirty method to apply automation scripting to the web library to delete collections. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/71875/how-to-quickly-purge-multiple-collections-in-online-library#latest I believe that the …

Thanks for the advice. I decided to use a quick and dirty method. I use a browser automation script which moves the cursor to the top collection in library list and then automatically goes through the Delete Collection process with two further butto…

I have my own interest in building a connector between Zotero (stand alone) and back end A.I. and analytical tools. As I wrote earlier in some discussion I looked at IBM Watson. So in due course I'll get there (hopefully in next month). I did try…

Can a local WebDAV server be used?
-
It can be done (I have hacked my standalone to use a later version of TinyMCE with search/replace plugin). But as @Gracile wrote above this requires amendments to internals of zotero.jar. When this hacking of zotero.jar was raised in other discu…

BSOD brings back memories of Windows (I am now on Ubuntu). There are some troubleshooting tips here ... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/what-is-a-bad-pool-header-and-how-do-i-fix-it/dd7bc035-48a8-4505-a5e0-5cdefb28077b?page=1 …

Thanks for the clarification. I'll follow the naming convention "5.0-beta.r93". Having now tried the Reset Translators (just for testing) would it be prudent to offer an option to backup the translators folder before resetting? Granted, there is a…

Being curious I dived into my old experimental installation of papermachines in ~/.mozilla/firefox/[name_of_profile]/zotero/papermachines/processors and using SearchMonkey (Ubuntu tool) simply searched “pdf” Two files were found .. d3.layout.clo…

batch process? I repeat that IBM Watson (similar offering to Quid) only requires the URL's for the pdf files. No preprocessing is required client side.

I am now looking at PDFMiner (python) which is listed here ... http://okfnlabs.org/blog/2016/04/19/pdf-tools-extract-text-and-data-from-pdfs.html http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/python/pdfminer/#source It should be feasible to right click on the p…

P.S. .. some after thoughts .. Does anybody know a way to get it WITH the entire pdf-extracted body of the text nicely placed in one column? Are you not using zotfile to extract annotated text from pdf files and place as notes in your library befor…

I'm not running that experiment just now so I need to refresh my memory. I have looked in /zotero/translators/ folder to view Hierarchical JSON (my amended version) in Geany editor and see that I added some extra code .. under "displayOptions" "ex…

Thanks for the clarification. I discussed here .. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/263806#Comment_263806 using Zotero to export an NLP training corpus. The "Hierarchical JSON" custom built translator in that thread might be a good …

Thanks for your links above .. they add to my own research into visualisation .. and, like you, I have dropped experimenting with papermachines. Please expand further on your comment ... So I'm surprised that nobody has built on the work that Cora …

I do hope that you are regarding this exercise as just a walk through the various options in using tinymce, to gain experience by trial and error. So now, instead of the described test above which uses separate files (note.html in tinymce 3.5.7 an…

This is kind of a funny situation, I need to paste my clipboard in zotero but to be able to paste it I need to disable zotero! There seems to be some conflict when pasting zotero://... Can you paste other protocol handler strings. mailto://me@ex…
-
Please clarify if you are testing against the default version (3.5.7) of tinymce as embedded in Zotero or if you are testing a later version of tinymce. Note that I found significant differences between tinymce 3.5.7 embedded in Zotero and tinymce 4…

Thanks so much for taking the time to walk me through all this. In fact this exercise is refreshing my memory to resume some tests I've been running to capture and analyse text from collections. Next step, I suggest that you download tinymce 4.5.…

Just to remove some of the confusion which I helped to create. If you are using the Firefox add-on you need to look inside zotero@chnm.gmu.edu.xpi. If you are using Zotero standalone (as I am with Chromium connector) you need to look inside zotero.j…

@EnoraEdelec Reflecting .. in your opening post you wrote ... I have written a python script that copies a selected text from a .pdf and add, to this text, the direct link of the source (ei: zotero://open-pdf/0_1A2B3C4D/10). However, Zotfile does t…

I will just add (if you read my zotero-dev thread) that I found it difficult to understand the js amendments made in tinymce (by Dan S.). So I added a fresh tinymce editor to allow me to experiment with a later version tinymce (including adding plu…

You are a Windows user. I am using Ubuntu and it is some time since I have used Windows (although I still have Windows in dual boot partition for rare usage) But off the top of my head if you follow the instructions here ... https://msdn.microsof…

@EnoraNedelec No, zotero@chnm.gmu.edu.xpi is not zotero.jar. Here is a quick development hack I use. Close firefox and zotero. Look for ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile_name/extensions/zotero@chnm.gmu.edu.xpi Change the file extension from .xpi …

I wanted to extend the functionality of TinyMCE editor (exploit plugins) and I wrote up my experiment here. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/zotero-dev/nmtCLEb9zLA TinyMCE 4.4.3 can be launched as the external note editor and the content of…

@Tsau017 I take your point that you want to batch save pdf's etc. Instead of extending features in plugins you can achieve this by using automation scripting which cycles through your browser tabs. e.g. when Chromium Web Browser window is in focus…
-
@Tsau017 This is a good idea so I ran a rough experiment. The steps for achieving this are as follows. This refers to Chromium Web Browser running in Ubuntu 14.04. Zotero standalone. (a) Right click on any tab in the browser and select “Bookmark a…

@es3w This discussion might give some clues on how to setup Foxit Reader style. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=3000587 However, I have not applied this yet to my Foxit Reader.

If recovery of your file(s) is important to you then I can suggest some "last chance saloon" options. Although your Mac may have been "factory restored", depending on the restoration method used, there is a slim chance of recovery of lost data usin…

After spending some time investigating Zotero API for my own experiments I have realised that it can be easier to parse existing Zotero output formats. For example, if you export Zotero RDF and save this file you can apply an external parsing pytho…

"In Zotero for Firefox this isn't really a big deal, since the Zotero pane is right there". Unfortunately I'm now using Chromium Web Browser (because of uncertainty in Firefox development path) and so Zotero must be stand alone. Also, as I unders…
