While this might be a problem for people using foreign language titles, my inclination would have been to go with title case given that the initial majority of Zotero users are English speakers. Or perhaps not. From these forums, the user base seems…
-
Chicago styles do not force headline style for titles because foreign titles should not be capitalized and unfortunately there is no setup in Zotero & CSL to make capitalization dependent on the language of the title. 10.3 Capitalization of fo…

Great, thank you!

There is already a ticket for this. I added the MLA case to the ticket. Any creator type that's mapped to author automatically appears before the title, so if we unmap director programmers will be able to choose where this type goes in the citation.…
-
The only problem now is that the title of the citation doesn't show up in the middle pane of Zotero, obviously since I've moved the title to type. You can add the "type" field to the middle pane to see the titles for such sources (you still won't be…

This obviously needs refinement but in the meantime you can use a workaround in Chicago Styles--just use "manuscript" item type, put the document description in the "type" field, and the short version in the "short title" field. For example: Type: …

There is a way to do this although it's somewhat complicated: An issue that frequently comes up is how to find references that do not have PDFs attached. This is not possible currently. One cannot search for items not having a certain type of attach…

Unfortunately in English dates can be formatted in different ways for different styles: 18 Nov. 2002; 18 November 2002; or November 18, 2002. As a result, many styles define precisely where the day and month are displayed and whether the month is ab…

A corporate/institutional author field would simply be an extension of the current creator support, not a separate field like Institution (which could probably be removed). Dan--please leave the current "institution" field for citations such as the …

are you saying that 'conference paper' is reserved for papers that have actually appeared in proceedings, and 'presentation' for (1) presentations outside of conferences and (2) papers on conferences that didn't appear in proceedings? Yes, exactly.

already mapped--see cite.js: Zotero.CSL.Item._zoteroFieldMap = { 1988 "long":{ 1989 "title":"title", 1990 "container-title":["publicationTitle", "reporter", "code"], /* reporter and code should move to SQL m…

Conference paper is mapped to "paper-conference" and presentation to "speech"--see cite.js (excerpt below). Your example above should be formatted as a presentation--see Chicago styles for examples of formatting that works. Zotero.CSL.Item._option…

The translators are in a different location in sync preview, outside of the db--in the "translators" folder within the "zotero" folder. At the moment, you can edit them by opening the files in a text editor. There is an open ticket to adapt Scaffold…

4. The ability to nest numbered lists, for mini-outlines. If I use paragraph indent button in a numbered outline, I seem to get nested outlines--don't you?
-
You can put your own info about the doc into the abstract field--it is not part of the citation. The title will always come up in citation. Chicago styles format manuscripts correctly; not sure about other styles. Your "Jon to Jane" example seems mo…

1. Show the citation of the item rather than all the detail in rows. That would be great. 2. Make showing attachments and notes optional. I almost always want to see these, but I could see cases where I don't. Type "about:config" in the location bar…

@dan This option may still be useful after the translator problem is fixed because it lets users omit URLS while the CSL still conforms to style guidelines. Many styles used to require URLs for database articles but now consider them optional. For e…

Follow these instructions carefully and your report will display notes independently from sources and sorted by the dates that you put in the beginning of each note: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/reports#using_reports_to_organize_your_not…

A "sub verbo" locator is now added to the dev xpi and the trunk. It will be available in 1.0.8 soon. You can use "s.v." with OED entered as a book item to achieve correct citation, as above (which is recommended by CMS 15th ed. as well). The p…

PS It would already help a bit, if - when you open the Zotero window, the last entered reference is shown automatically. Just sort your items by date added, descending.

I agree with Bruce. Many have requested this from the very few months of the first release, about two years ago. Personally, I don't see how sorting the notes would be more important, though it also would be useful. Well, ticket 439 for rich text al…

You can't sort attachments, nor bibliographic items. That's just not true--child items are not sortable independently of parents, but parents are certainly sortable--in the middle column, by author, date, title, etc. Sorting notes/attachments by tit…

?sort=note shouldn't be necessary in Zotero 1.0.5 or later. Is there a case where it still appears to be? That's correct--sorts by title/first line in note just fine automatically for me--sorry I forgot about that.
-
@bruce: This feature is already available--see description here: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/reports#using_reports_to_organize_your_notes
-
Bruce--I'm also looking forward to rich text and semantic markup in notes (not least because this may provide a standard way to include and export locator information for the note). That said, a piece of software (especially open source software) sh…

This doesn't seem to be possible with advanced search. The easiest way to achieve this is to have certain tags apply to child items only, then create a saved search on the tag and check "Include parent items of matching items." Name the saved search…
