Regarding sync: do you see the items from each of your libraries on the website, or is it just one of them? Check to make sure you have the correct username and password in sync tab of your preferences on each computer you are syncing. Once you jo…

It is not exactly what you are asking for but I think there is existing functionality that should do what you want. If you right click on any collection and select "New Subcollection" you will add a subcollection.

Thank you for the note. I can confirm that LexisNexis Academic is not working. There was a known issue with search results but it now looks like the issue is also effecting individual item pages. I added this information to the existing ticket. http…

Thanks for posting to the forums Idlework, relating collections is an interesting idea. I think most users nest sub-collections as a means to connect the work in individual collections. Beyond that, if you create your own vocabulary for relating it…

You can use the create new item from current page button to archive a copy of a PDF you are viewing in your browser. This might work slightly differently depending on the tool you are using to view the PDF in your browser, but it worked fine using t…

There are several known issues with different kinds of URLs web of Knowledge generates. See https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1155 Feel free to post URLs that don't work for you in this thread http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1210/

I am not entirely sure I follow. Unchecking the sync attachments button does not purge your storage. You can sync an unlimited number of references, so you have no worry there, the only thing that is limited is attached files.

Along with the blog feed Zotero's twitter feed brings little bits of Zotero news and links to users on a much more frequent basis. http://twitter.com/zotero

There is a ticket for reordering authors. https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/582 See these related discussions as well: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/849/priority-or-ordering-of-creator-types/ http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/514/change-o…

There is a groups screencast on the logged out version of groups page. See http://www.zotero.org/groups In the near future I plan to work up a new set of screencasts to show off the full range of Zotero's new functionality.

Are you saying you read http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_records_from_endnote ? You need to find the location of those files and do a find and replace in the RIS file to add that information so that Zotero knows where to look for the fil…

Thanks for the correction julioraffo I do believe you're right. Must have gotten tripped up in the any/all is/is not situation.

There are plans to add duplicate detection, but it is a rather tricky issue. For the time being you will need to use sorting by title and delete the dups. That said, you can see all the collections an item is in, hold down the “Option” key on Macs…

Personal communication just seems to be too squishy a thing to make into an item. For example, APA does allow people to cite personal communications (and you see them from time to time in papers), however, APA's definition of personal communication …

Your best bet for feedback, discussion, and eventual addition of your translator to the repository is to post a message in the developer group. http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev Most folks read both the forums and the dev list, but the dev …

Can't replicate the issue. See this item, which has a attached link to this thread. http://www.zotero.org/tjowens/items/61618353 Are you sure your looking at a link and not a snapshot?

To follow on from Bruce, perhaps this could this be handled by a single boolean toggle in the input, and an assortment of terms. I would agree with Bruce on the fact that APA's in press sounds identical to Chicago's forthcoming. If we just supporte…

There is a ticket for this, ISI uses some strange URL schema that is difficult for Zotero to work with. See https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1155 and http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1210/

While I understand how you intrepret "in press" to literally mean it is at the printers I am relatively confident that no one who has put in press in a bibliography actually meant that. To again quote our good friends at APA. Write in press in pare…

Once you have synced your collection it should show up underneath your collections in the left column.

APA's 6th edition only mentions two non-date possibilities for date fields, n.d for things without a associated date and in press in their section on dates(p. 185). They however suggest the ever elegant "Manuscript submitted for publication" or "Man…

Have you thought about using "related" to link to those files? Notes can be related to other items and tagged so both of those might be useful.

1. You can use the "Create new item from current page" button with any page. The plugin adds the ability to use the icon in the location bar to grab much better metadata. 2. Yes 3. Not necessarily, if they want to use the other COinS plugin it ad…

How many pixels wide can you get your middle column? I can shrink mine to abut 280px leaving my entire Firefox width at about 640. Do you want to get smaller than that or are you unable to shrink it that far?

See the new item types ticket. The plan is to change "artwork" to "image" I think your suggestion for a type field that further qualifies it makes sense. https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/661 and these discussions http://forums.zotero.org/discus…

Zotero uses TinyMCE for rich text in notes (it is actually writing HTML). If/when this gets fixed it will be fixed by them. With that said, you can always pop open the HTML for any given note and manually correct these sorts of issues.

The current annotation/highlighting system will be overhauled in a future version of Zotero. Existing annotations and highlights do not, and will not, sync in new versions of Zotero. With that said, if you want to move your entire Zotero data direc…

Hi rxde, I think what you want is already covered by existing functionality. 1. If you want to share your collections with folks you can export them in Zotero RDF and include notes and files. Then just send the exported folder to anyone and they …
