Thanks. I will get in touch with them.

I would like to re-suggest this feature. Most of my searches (and saved searches) are of this form: Tag, contains, [bla] Tag, contains, [bla] Tag, does not contain, [bla] These arise in using Zotero to help write structured literature review secti…

Bump Has there been any progress with 1. above? I have subconsciously learned to resize Zotero in the required two-step motion (when shrinking the Zotero window, first shrink the tag selector, then shrink the whole Zotero window; and when enlarging …
-
The workaround I use for articles on ingentaconnect is to click on the Tools menu at the right of the page: Export Options -> EndNote. Zotero catches and imports the EndNote bibliographic data. I observe that, using this method on your article, …

Wonderful!

I acquired the latest version of the BibTeX translator. You're right: there's now no mapping at all for that character. For my purposes it's neither better nor worse: in both cases I need to manually correct the .bib file (or the .bbl file generate…

Hi Sean, I should clarify: 1. When I'm not on-campus, I use a reverse proxy to access sites to which my university has a subscription: I replace sciencedirect.com in the URL with sciencedirect.com.virtual.anu.edu.au. When I do this, Zotero offers…

I'd like to re-request this change. Presently the only way to insert an author into a long list of authors is carefully copy and paste each author entry one row down, row-by-row, starting at the bottom, until you get to the row you need to add. Wou…
-
I think in Windows the maximum allowed file name length depends on the folder in which the file is to reside. Thus, when using "Store Copy of File ...", Zotero tries to put a file of the same (long) name in a folder which can't have such long file n…

Yep the database update worked fine after I did that. After the database update was complete, I was offered a link to the 'Changelog'. I clicked the link, and a new tab did open in Firefox, but it was blank.
-
Hey Dan, What I thought I found was that I couldn't drag items from the middle pane onto a tag in the tag selector, if the middle pane contained the results of a saved search. However, that seems to work fine when I test it now. So either it happen…
-
Ah thanks scot; I never noticed that.
-
Thanks everyone for your comments. Metaphors For me personally, as you can probably tell, the difference between the two metaphors "container" and "label" is gone. But I do see that both metaphors are important. I especially think that new users o…
-
I'd also add to this discussion the remark that a saved search is even more like a tag than a collection is like a tag. Saved searches can't have sub-collections. They can be combined using boolean AND with tags (by clicking on various tags in the t…
-
CB, I also use tags and collections quite differently---I don't use collections at all. The fact that you and I use them so differently shows I think that no distinction can reasonably be made between them for the purpose of categorisation in a soci…
-
Regarding future social networking extensions: These would seem to make it crucial that tags and collections be merged if at all possible: Suppose I have a collection called "Numerical analysis", with various subcollections including one called "Osc…
-
Thanks for your reply Bruce. I agree that tags should be simple. However, I believe that at present the relationship between collections and tags is complex: Some of my articles are about oscillatory integration. Ok, use a tag. Ok, but some of my …

I created a new user account and installed a fresh copy of Firefox and Zotero and confirmed the same behaviour there.
-
For me, running Firefox in Windows, Shift+Click opens snapshots and attached files in a new window as expected. However, Ctrl+Shift+Click also opens a new window (rather than a new tab behind), and Ctrl+Click opens in the current tab (just like Clic…
-
Confirmaton: 1.0.0b4.r2 solves problem.
-
Yup Ok I was thinking keeping the longest of any duplicates would be a reasonable course of action.
-
Fast work Dan. I don't like the look of those duplicated IDs... Do I need to do anything with my database before updating Zotero?
-
Ah OK. Personally I usually find I need to grab the citation information from one source (like ISI Web of Science), and grab the PDF from a different source. I would really love an option to automatically (or manually) rename snapshots and "Store Co…

http://picasaweb.google.com/andrew.j.moylan/ZoteroScreenshots/photo?authkey=wiw-HFb_92o#5047329102140169122 Apparently older versions of the note are persisting and are related to the problem. See 1. the interesting new screenshot above, and 2. the…
-
They do persist. I will happily install the client. I'll do it now by Googling for it and following whatever looks like default instructions. Let me know if that's not the right way to go about it for Zotero. ---- Update: I acquired sqlite3.exe, …
-
I've replicated this bug, clarifying that the strange behaviours are probably not due to my deletion of a tag. Please see the modified caption of the screenshot, above.
-
I just replicated this bug by renaming another tag.
-
Thanks Dan, it does now work as expected.
-
Dan, I'm having trouble figuring out how the automatic renaming works. I can't find any option to "do" it to existing attachments; and when I attach a new file to an item (using "Store Copy of File ..."), there doesn't seem to be any option to renam…

I've just downloaded Beta 4 (and it's looking good!), but the issue remains: when I choose "Export Selected Item ..." or "Export Library ...", then click OK, then type "asdf", then hit "'Save", the file is saved as "asdf" and not as "asdf.bib".
