  • Thanks for the suggestion. New data : - No error reported to zotero.org yet, hence no error ID. - Disabling BetterBibTeX plugin restored normal behaviour... I'll report to Retoquere ;-). Thank you for your help !
  • > Can you say more? That works for me. I retract that : The box querying the parameters lists the saved search *after* all the "true collections". I found it at my Nth trial... But this reinforces my point on the need for some support for a syn…
  • Some support of search syntax would be a great help. BTW : it is currently impossible to specify a saved search as a source collectrion ; the trick mentionned in https://www.zotero.org/support/searching can no longer be used. And that is a serious…
  • This hasn't moved in 6 years. I added a [note](https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/1087#issuecomment-1293457225) to the ticket, hoping to prod it towards the top of the stack...
  • Wouldn't it be faster, easier and cheaper to create a Zotero for Word on Wine Plugin by either : * replacing the Worg plugin's wire protocol (i.e. the part of the plugin that "talks" to Zotero) by the one from LibreOffice plugin ; or * replacing th…
  • I had a glimpse of hope when I saw this : > Added import option to choose between storing and linking files in the changelog for 5.0.60 But I have been unable to find this option. Perusing the advanced config options was unhelpful... @bwiernik …
  • > Several reports of this I checked a couple screens of the "recent discussions" before posting, and didn't see them. Sorry for the noise... > do you use some type of zoom, either actual zoom or some sort of scaling for monitors in Debian? …
  • Thanks for your answers. I made a few more trials. My conclusions so far : * Trials : - one can save ONE trial either from the "list" page or the individual trial display page. This uses "Wiley Online Library, which gives a correct reference (…
  • One more data point : I tried to save one reference (displayed in the browser : see http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/o/cochrane/clcmr/articles/CMR-16762/frame.html) with the "Save to Zotero" button(which looked as a "page with lines on it" icon). Noth…
  • I just tested that indeed, porting the same modifications to the current zotero.dotm as for the previous versions of Zotero does indeed work. I'll try to post a more precise guide later ((I'm a bit in a hurry now...). Since the Windows versin seem…
  • A couple data points : * Zotero 5 installs and works fine in Wine 2.0.3 as packaged in Debian. BTW, WinWord also does). * Out of the box, Word doesn't seem able to communicate with Zotero. * A cursory inspection of Zotero.dotm shows that the curr…
  • I don't know. ISTR that the report displayed when clicked on the "exclamation mark" button on the left of the "curved arrow" sync button was : "An error occurred during syncing: Unsupported predicate 'dc:isReplacedBy'" Can you suggest trials or ex…
  • I've been (inconstantly) bitten by this one for as long as I've used Zotero (since the halcyon days of 2.x) and the LibreOffice plugin, both on Linux and on Windows. Similarly, the "Set document properties" windows appears (almost) always *behind* t…
  • One more data point : after uninstalling LO 32-bits and re-installing LO 64-bits, I saw that it pointed to the correct Java (64-bits). Zotero was then able to reinstall the LO plugin as recommended. Note that I didn't wipe the "App Data" directory(…
  • "@charpent sorry about that, I think 64-bits JRE detection on Windows is a bit buggy." Really ? ;-] "In the meantime you can perform manual installation" That should be documented with big fat pointers pon the relevant most-accessed pages... One…
  • [ Later ] No such luck. I checked : Indeed, I had Java 64-bits and LO 32-bits. Since both Chrome and Firefow on my machine are 64-bits version, I choose to go in the same direction. I uninstalled LO 32-bits, installed LO 64-bits, pointed it to Jav…
  • OK. I'll check that. Thanks a lot ! Nice trap, BTW...
  • Thanks. I could indeed register it. It might be interesting to intercept this case and mention this in the error message box ; something like "this can be caused by transient source conditions on some translators ; please try again in a few moment…
  • Dear zuphil, Yeah, that's something like this I'm looking for. Remaining problems : 1) Learn enough javascript to be able to edit the correct part of a string (is there a regex library for javascript ?). 2) Find how to reach for the …
  • Dear Adam, Thank you very much for pointing me to Zutilo, which I didn't know. The ability to add the same marker to a bunch of references alone is something I longed for for a long time... This is enough to keep it. Hiwever, it does not s…
  • Done that. Seems to work ok (library visible, can add new reterences and retrieve them from Zotero standalone after Iceweasel shutdown). Imprimatur.
  • Thank you all for the information. I got out of trouble by desinstalling Zotero's version of plugins and reverting to Debian-packaged ones. I'll wait for Iceweasel 30 to try again the original plugins. I also filed a bug against iceweasel …
  • @orschiro : up to now, I don't have much to contribute. I looked into the "original" Zotero.dot, and found that the code is locked. I don't know how to unlock it (but my experience with Visual Basic is essentially zilch : I haven't seriously touched…
  • I tried installing Word 2003 under wine (as packaged for Debian testing, i.e 1.6.2) and Zotero Standalone (4.0.17). I used the Zotero.dot file as provided by matthias.hilty, modified it to let him find and use zotero.exe : it works correctly. T…
  • Dear adamsmith, Replacing the BibTex.js translator with this "older" version was successful. Thank you for the hint ! May I suggest fixing this problem notwithstanding the close expiration of 10.x ESR : I have a feeling that Debian users w…
  • I think that I am also bitten by this one. But I have another problem : I'm stuck with Iceweasel 10.0 ESR because I'm on Debian Wheezy, which is in freeze ==> no direct update possible for a while, and I am somewhat reluctant to install a "parall…
  • I found a way to fix this specific problem : manually configure the use of the openjdk in the "Tools->Preferences->General->Java" menu. This still does not solves the systemwide java configuration problem, though... HTH, …
  • Aaargh ! I have now been bitten by the *same* bug *TWICE* ! A very recent change in the Debian wheezy distribution just hosed my Openoffice/Libreoffice integration. This change cannot have happened earlier than 2 or 3 days ago. It specifically …
  • You may well be right. However, the "easy fix" mentioned in the bug report is no longer applicable (the configuration files hav moved again...). Since I'm luky enough to have found this problem at a time where IcedTea is again able to ruin the …
  • Switching back to OpenJDK (as packaged in Debian wheezy 6b18-1.8.7-2 packages) seems to have alleviated the problem. But it does in no way soplves it : There is a bug (probably deeply hidden, and triggered in special circumstances) either in Sun's J…
