I had this issue, which was really frustrating (many journals/platforms, like J-Stor, don't allow the Zotero plugin to download the pdf from the article page, so you have to go through to the pdf) and just solved it by removing the Adobe Extension f…

I have created a Group Library to which I'm unable to (reliably) drag collections or individual items. Folders of more than 10 items won't copy across at all, sometimes batches of items will work, sometimes with attachments, sometimes without, somet…

Hey all, I think this is related and can't find another forum thread that addresses it directly: I'm having an issue with saves from Amazon - I've succeeded in turning the automatic "snapshot" save off, but can't seem to stop Zotero from adding an "…

Re: @adamsmith 's comment above of 13 Nov 2015, "can't drag the same item to a library twice" - is there any plan to amend this in Z 5? I find it quite frustrating when building libraries, where I'll often have multiple items from one author across …

thanks, totally fixed it! I thought I had automatic updating selected but maybe I imagined that...
-
having this issue with most GALE-based databases - any update? thanks
-
any update on this? I want to move a large number of collections under a new umbrella collection and would like not to have to drag and drop each one individually...
-
thanks @adamsmith - happy to start a new thread if that helps
-
not sure if I'm missing something, but the LRB translator doesn't seem to grab date, author, page numbers, let alone full text (which would be really useful as there's no way to download even if you have subscription access). e.g. https://www.lrb.co…
-
are there actually any publications / websites where Snapshot does save the full text? It would be *great* if it could be tweaked for LRB (London Review of Books) as there's no way to download pdfs of their material - I've been cutting and pasting i…

Update: I've discovered that if I batch rename all the linked attachments on the Mac, and then sync, that fixes the issue on the PC after syncing there. I assume this is because the update of Dropbox (i.e. the division into "Personal" and "Professio…
-
thanks @dstillman - actually the 404 seems to have resolved itself without update (which is a bit laborious on my university network PC but which I'll follow up anyway). for the links, I just ran a Debug Log - ID: D1598725985. I've noticed that fi…

update (previous comment deleted): as @foret37 suggests above, the OCR corruption *does* remain a problem in Sierra 10.12.4, albeit for fewer pdfs than previously - see here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7905824?start=0&tstart=0. I've te…

I *did* have my database in Dropbox... I wasn't aware this was such a problem. Tho now I read you commenting elsewhere that "It takes a lot of diligence to be sure that no Dropbox sync is ever running when the database is open in Zotero, which will …

thanks @adamsmith, good to know. continuing to try to get to the bottom of this error on the other thread (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/274557/#Comment_274557). appreciate your help.
-
thanks @bwiernik - yes the issue is the same across both PC and Mac versions of Zotero Standalone 5.0-beta.180+de7b56b and Zotfile 5.0.0b3. I'm also not the only one experiencing it - see here on github where at least two others report the same prob…
-
thanks for the clarification: I'm giving up on Preview and moving to Adobe Acrobat DX for Mac - more attractive to me now that it's easy to highlight in different colours without laboriously changing the colour each time via Properties. it really i…

Update: Apple claims to have fixed the Preview PDF-corruption bug with Sierra 10.12.3 - see here: http://www.documentsnap.com/ocr-text-macos-sierra-preview/

no-one else having this "undefined" folder problem with renaming / refiling? on the verge of giving up and reverting to zotero + zotfile 4 (and assuming I'm gonna lose anything added to library whilst trying to use 5...)
-
no...?
-
however I can now confirm that I'm having the same renaming / refiling error on both the PC and Mac: with the "subfolder defined by %c" option ticked, the attachments are being saved to a new directory called 'undefined' under the Custom directory I…
-
sorry if I wasn't clear: I had successfully installed Zotfile 5 on the PC using the manual zip/rename, but couldn't replicate this on the Mac. but your instructions saved the day, so thanks.
-
putting aside the unresolved editor renaming issue for now - does anyone else have the same "undefined" folder problem as outlined in point 1 in my last comment? any clues? if I can't solve it I'll have to re-install an earlier version of zotero and…
-
just renewing my request for explanation of how to install zotfile 5. I understand that it's still in beta and so most people using it will be across the programming lingo, but I've installed Zotero 5 on both Mac and PC now, and managed to get Zotfi…
-
Thanks - I understand it's still in beta. In the meantime, could someone explain how to "recreate .zip file"? I'm concerned I haven't done it right and that this might be causing the ongoing issues I'm having with renaming etc.
-
would it be possible to post a .xpi file for Zotero 5? or at least an explanation of what is meant by "recreate .zip file" in the installation instructions, for basic folx like me who don't know what that means? also, just putting it out there that…

while zotero 5.0 has sped up (now, I assume, that it's finished syncing) I'm also having 2 separate problems, running Zotero Standalone 5.0 with Zotfile 5.0 on Windows 7: 1. with the "subfolder defined by %c" option ticked, the attachments are bein…
-
Yes - that *should* fix the problem (with or without curlies actually), but it doesn't. Is nobody able to replicate this problem?
-
Sorry y'all I didn't get notifications for these most recent replies (don't know why, notifications were still on - didn't even get an email when @bwiernik tagged me...). I've just upgraded to Zotero 5.0 (at the university I work on a network PC whi…

Thanks LiborA - I do understand basically how Zotfile renaming rules work. I was just comparing Zotfile's behaviour regarding authors / editors (i.e. not sufficiently distinguishing them in renaming rules) to the general behaviour of Zotero (which d…
