  • Small caps would be great as well.

  • Hm, ok: it works now -- sorry for wasting your time. When I di the upgrade, I did use the version on the frontpage -- but I forgot that last week I also installed the dev XPI. As far as I knew, nothing seemed to have happened after I installed the …
    in database corrupted? Comment by raf May 30, 2007
  • The zotero folder I was working with before Firefox started to freeze was located in My Documents. After re-installing Zotero, Zotero used the default location in the Firefox profile. Therefore, I went to the preferences to change the location of t…
    in database corrupted? Comment by raf May 30, 2007
  • I don't know whether this helps but here is some context: Firefox started to freeze after I did this: I had saved a wordfile as a webpage, opened it in Firefox and saved it as a snapshot in Zotero. It was impossible to attach the snapshot to the i…
    in database corrupted? Comment by raf May 30, 2007
  • Good point! Actually, I can't think of something that would have to be different compared to the reference type for book. It's just that the reference type title would make it immediately clear that the item concerns a dictionary or encyclopedia (…
    in Reference types Comment by raf May 9, 2007
  • The present list has the very useful reference types of "dictionary entry" and "encyclopedia article." However, I imagine it would be interesting also to have types for the containers of these entries and articles, i.e. "dictionary" and "encyclope…

  • When an item is located in a sub-collection, the function of highlighting the collection to which the item belongs (by pressing ctrl in windows) is only helpful when the parent-collection is expanded. When the parent-collection is not expanded it is…
    in Entries only show up in folder and my library but not parent collections or subcollections Comment by raf April 22, 2007
  • I'm experiencing the same problem. Neither the highlights I made, nor the annotations I wrote to a html page are saved after I closed the snapshot. Any suggestions would be well appreciated. R.
    in Highlighting and annotating Comment by raf April 17, 2007
  • 2. Some indicator that an item has related items. Currently there seems to be no way to tell that a related item exists except by clicking over to the "Related" tab. I work with collections and many of my items have parent-child relationships. I str…
    in Collections, related items Comment by raf April 17, 2007
  • I don't want to sound like a whiner but I thought I should mention this: When sorting authors alphabetically in the central pane, authors with an "é" in their name (as in the French "Prévost") are not sorted alphabetically. For instance, …
    in Diacritical marks Comment by raf April 14, 2007
  • Hi Sean and Dan, thanks so much for the instructions. I have no clue about what I just did but it looks great :-) In any case, I have pasted the text which I copied from the command prompt in an email, sent to the address in the Reporting Bugs…
    in import zotero library into zotero Comment by raf April 6, 2007
  • Seriously, I must be doing something wrong here or I just don't see the obvious. These are the steps I took in Windows XP (both the sqlite3.exe and zotero.sqlite are on the desktop). (1) I go to the Start menu and then choose Run. In the "Run-i…
    in import zotero library into zotero Comment by raf April 6, 2007
  • Hi Dan, sorry for the trouble but I have no idea about how to open zotero.sqlite file with sqlite3.exe. I downloaded the Windows binary; bot zotero.sqlite and sqlite3.exe are on my desktop at the moment. I tried Start and Run and I can mak…
    in import zotero library into zotero Comment by raf April 6, 2007
  • I'm not quite sure whether I did this properly but these are the 5 messages in the error console that contain a URL beginning with “chrome://zotero/...” Note that the second message does not have a URL in the console: Error: [Exception... "'[Excep…
    in import zotero library into zotero Comment by raf April 5, 2007
  • Sorry, the error message I get when starting firefox was/is "Error migrating Zotero database."
    in import zotero library into zotero Comment by raf April 5, 2007
  • Hi Dan, thanks for your reply. The problem I had after upgrading was an error message every time I started firefox, saying "Error exporting Zotero database." When firefox was on, the zotero logo on the bottom had a yellow traingular icon on it, with…
    in import zotero library into zotero Comment by raf April 5, 2007
  • I would like to make an additional suggestion related to sorting by date: It would be great if (1) a list of records by the same author would also be sorted chronographically and (2) records sorted by date would also be sorted alphabetically wi…

    in hide(able) collection pane Comment by raf February 9, 2007
  • To be perfectly honest, I sometimes find it hard to understand many of the issues outlined in the above. Nevertheless, I think I understood the gist of CloudofDust's initial posts, before the discussion migrated to the feature request threads. …

  • Hi Dan, Thanks for the reply - and for the other one in the "feature requests." I finally have found the Saved Search functionality - it looks great!
