• The key issue for speed is your number of items. I know of many users with thousands of records, and a few with tens of thousands. My primary library has 2139 items right now and runs great in Zotero 1.5. 1.5 runs noticeably quicker.

• Are the files actually renamed? Or is it just the names as they appear in Zotero. You can check this by clicking the "Show File" button to see the actual file in a sub-directory of the storage directory.

• By default Zotero recases titles on import. You can change this through a hidden pref. To view the the full list of Zotero's preferences, including many hidden preferences, type “about:config” into Firefox's Location Bar and enter “zotero” into the …

• On the second issue. Make sure your file is a .csl file and not a .cls file. That is probably the hang up.

• The extra field is mapped to note in CSL. So you could tweak your citation style to include Pubmed ID.

• As long as you don't move files around inside the storage directory you should be fine.

• Citeline uses Zotero's BibTeX export to create its collections. Can you export some problematic records in BibTeX format and see if the issue is with Zotero's BibTeX generation or with Citline's interpretation of that BibTeX file. You should proba…

• Source ordering is style dependent. Try the APA style. Sources are automatically sorted alphabetically. With APA you can toggle that sorting off by unchecking keep items sorted check box, but that only affects styles that set a sort order. There i…

• Currently no. I'm not sure what the best option is for these kind of identifiers. Would it make sense to have a drop down like the contributor list with each of these as a option?

• There is no straightforward way to search all the fields in your database in a saved search. With that said, you can probably get what you are looking for. I doubt you actually want to search all fields. You can chain together searches through each …
