In case others experience this problem, let me say what fixed it for me. I shut down Windows 10, then restarted it. I have no idea why this worked, but it did.
-
This is a minor, perhaps even trivial, problem. I have long had a button on my Windows 10 taskbar to open Zotero. This disappeared yesterday, and when I tried to put it back, I get the appropriate link to Zotero, but without the Zotero icon. Do you …

I use Zotero on my office computer and home computer, and these libraries are synched through my online Zotero library. I was cleaning up my library at home yesterday, and noticed that all subcollections were missing from one of my collections that …

It's unclear to me why this didn't work. I followed the instructions you provided, but nothing appeared in the right-hand pane when I ran the JavaScript (I don't know how long I should wait). NOr did error messages appear in that window. Although I'…

Thanks very much. I followed your instructions and ran this JavaScript code, which seemed to be working, but when done hadn't created attachments to the pdfs as a substitute for my having entered the paths to the attachments in the url field. I don'…

Here is the format of these formerly functional links in the url field of my Zotero database: c:\data\pdf files\fname.pdf e.g., c:\data\pdf files\breck_2019.pdf Thanks, Steve Jenkins

I have a very large number of pdf files of journal articles that I began collecting long before I started using Zotero. I need to be able to access those from Zotero using the url field (for new entries, I mostly use the online link in the url field…
-
I have tried this again by exporting a set of EndNote records using the RefMan (RIS) output style in .txt format. This format includes a field containing the URL (labeled as UR, see below for an example). I can then import this file into Zotero, in …
-
I followed the steps as described in the link that bwiernik provided above. The same error resulted: The path to the pdf files for this record is in a note rather than in the URL field. When I paste the EndNote .xml file into this message, the html …
-
I have an old version of EndNote (X4), from which I occasionally export records in .xml format for import to the current version of Zotero. This process stopped working sometime between Wednesday of last week and today (June 13 and June 20, 2018). I…

Thanks for this explanation of how the URL filed works. Unfortunately, your alternative suggestion isn't feasible for me (at least until full-text editing is available in Zotero), because I have about 900 such records. I guess the gratuitous empty …

Report ID: 2095341960 For many records in my Zotero database, I have a pdf file that I store in a location on my hard disk. I use the URL field to record this link (for other records, the URL field points to a web address). I use Acrobat X Pro as m…

OK - thanks. This does work (but it's Ctrl-v in Windows).
-
Thanks for this suggestion (I wish I had thought of it myself). This hack produces at least one problem -- it adds a new author's name to the SQLite database, e.g. Jenkins, S. H., et al. as the terminal author to be named followed by other, un-nam…

I appreciate your advice and I respect your bibliographic purism. Indeed, as a writer, reviewer, and editor of technical papers in science journals, I espoused bibliographic purism myself (sometimes to the dismay of some of my graduate students). Ho…
-
That's a good suggestion. It permits easy access to both a pdf and a web link for a record, which might contain different information. Part of the reason I set it up the way I did is that I imported a substantial number of records from an EndNo…
-
I think I solved the problem, at least in part -- it was specific to the new record I created, rather than a problem with Zotero. Here is some background about what I was trying to do. In many cases, the web is the source of new records, for ex…
-
I upgraded to version 4.0.24 and get the same error. I don't understand your second suggestion. I'm just trying to tell Zotero where to find the file, so that when I click on the record in the main panel, the pdf will appear. This has worked seamles…
-
Good suggestion -- I tried this. The task manager shows: "fname (application/ pdf Object) when the pdf window is opened from Zotero Standalone, and this task disappears when the pdf window is closed (which is all I can do when I open it from Z…
-
I deleted mimeTypes.rdf from the profile directory, but that didn't fix the problem in Zotero Standalone. I'm sorry to have to ask this question, but can you tell me how to discover which application opens a pdf from Zotero Standalone? I mostly…

Here's what works in Zotero for Firefox: 1) In Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Preferences, Internet -- turn off display in browser default. 2) In Firefox 19.0.2, use about:config to set hidden preferences (these aren't Zotero preferences, but Fire…
-
This is a simpler problem, but I don't know the best place to raise it. I don't save pdf files with my Zotero database, but rather in a separate directory on my computer. If I have a pdf copy of a paper in my database, I show the location of that pd…
-
No one has responded to my last message above, so I will elaborate. First, let me reiterate that Zotero will be virtually useless for organismal biologists who use a large number of sources with scientific names in titles unless Zotero provides a be…
-
I'm sorry to say this no longer works, and I can't for the life of me figure out why not. Is it possible that Zotero isn't using translators stored on my computer, but instead going to Zotero on the web to find translators each time I try to do an i…

Adam, I experimented with this version of the RIS translator that preserves html codes last week, and it seemed to work. But now it's not. here is what I did: (1) I exported a file containing two sample records from EndNote using RefMan …

In response to Gracile, the other thread that indicates that the next major release will be out in November doesn't say that this release will include global editing. DWL-SDCA makes good points. Inconsistency in how journals and other sources r…
-
In response to the original suggestion by JonEP, you should be careful about batch editing different versions of the same author's name to one version. The author may have used different versions of his or her name on different publications, e.g., w…

In response to Dan's explanation about how syncing is supposed to work -- that makes perfect sense. I just had to learn it by experience.
-
I meant larger, and I hope typing the less than sign isn't a sign of approaching senility! The actual number of records in my EndNote database is 14,520, so your experience suggests that I won't have a problem when I make the conversion. T…
