I think all of your requests should either be directly or indirectly resolved by Zotero's upcoming group features.

I haven't heard of any problems like this. Are you sure your timeline is empty and not just showing you part of the timeline that has no items in it? If you use the skip to date field and jump to a spot where you should have an item is it empty?
-
Does this happen for other Linux users? On a mac items in the middle column stay highlighted, they just shift to a light Grey instead of the bright blue. The same behavior occurs for selected collections.

I would first try to import a single entry, make sure that your BibTeX formatting is understood by Zotero. If that fails post that entry here. If it works I would try breaking the big file into smaller chunks, say four chunks for starters. Then try …

It might be better to start with what your goal is here. Do you want to cite these entries? Do you want to just hold onto them for personal reference? Here are a few different general ideas for organizing in Zotero. a) If you are manually entering…

if I synch my Zotero database with the Zotero server, is any of my information visible to or shared with other users? No, by default your information is private. All current and future sharing and collaboration features will operate on an opt-in b…

Thanks for reporting this. I created a ticket.

You should be able to merge the two different libraries by syncing both libraries to a single Zotero acount. If you have a considerable amount of duplicate items this might not be the best approach, all of those duplicated items will appear in your …

You can generally remap fields to match the RIS spec with careful use of the find and replace functions in your favorite text editor. In this case if you find all of your "U1 -" and replace with "N1 -" you should be able to pull in all the notes. T…

Thanks philgons, I just fixed the link.

Welcome to the forums hgray. There have been one or two requests for this sort of feature but it is unlikely to happen. If Zotero was to implement something like this we would want it to work across the platforms Zotero works on. Open Meta is a cool…

See Dan's comment in this thread. There is a long term plan to abstract the interface parts so that users can rearrange them.

See this thread.

On the search pane in your preferences what sort of statistics do you have? How many pages has Zotero indexed?
-
The WebDAV files are currently stored in one big zip file, so there is not really a way to do this. With that said the group features, currently under development, should offer a much more viable solution for this sort of collaboration.

Ticket created. https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1408

The only LexisNexis site with structured enough info for Zotero to work with is Lexis Academic. So if you want to use Zotero with one of their other services you should contact Lexis and request that they better expose their information to reference…

A few thoughts. One, the retrieve PDF metadata function basically solves this issue. Two, "Understanding dynamic capabilities Sidney G Winter Strategic Management Journal; ()ct 2003; 24, l(); ABUINFORM Global pg. 991 Strategic Management Journal S…

It might be worth trying to work with these sort of identifiers in the same way we work with contributors. Instead of cluttering the interface with a bunch of individual fields we create a Identifiers section which allows a drop down for different k…

Zotero should be grabing the PDF on its own, not trying to stick it in a snapshot. The problem with the EBSCO translator is a known issue.
-
What version of Word are you running and which version of the plugin. This worked fine for me with the plugin for Mac 2008.
-
There are plans to make it easier to switch documents with Endnote citations and bibliographies over to Zotero. The somewhat complicated nature of the problem means it will take a while. Zotero does not currently support a method for entering info …
-
You can drag and drop any sort of file into Zotero.
-
Has Zotero saved any proxies for you? It might be that something is wrong with them. Try turning off the proxy features in the proxy pref pane. You might also see if you want to remove any of the proxies Zotero has saved.
-
Thanks for reporting this. Ticket created.

Not at this time.
-
In most cases this comes from one or two broken records in the file. Try breaking them in half or into quarters and importing the smaller chunks. You can usually use this method to identify the one or two problem records. You might also try using RI…
-
Can you confirm that your full text search plugins are functioning? Try doing some searches for terms that appear inside your PDFs and see if Zotero is searching through their full text. I just tried this PDF again and it worked quite nicely, so i…

Sync should be the second tab in your preference pane, right next to general. If you don't see it you are most likely running Zotero 1.0.9 instead of 1.5. Upgrade and you should see it.

See the ticket for original date. With all of these item type issues it might be a good idea to take a quick look at the issues tagged schema update. Some of your requests are in there and some should probably get their own tickets.
