The Zotfile plugin (zotfile.com) allows you to set up a watched folder. As per the Zotfile page: "ZotFile can rename and add the most recently modified file from the Firefox download or a user specified folder as a new attachment to the currently s…

Thanks dstillman, much appreciated. (Don't know why I didn't think of that :-/ ) I've managed to get set the formatting for headings, paragraphs, monospaced, lists, and blockquotes from the Note.css. This includes changing colors, background-colors…

The ability to style note elements using note.css is a lot more limited that it used to be in the old html editor. As xalario mentions, you can use borders, and you can add padding-bottom to put a bit of space between the text and the border (but pa…

Thanks! This is a much appreciated step.

The new note editor in version 6 uses a completely different "engine" than the old versions. Old versions used a note editor that was basically just a simple HTML editor, so anything you could do on a very simple web page you could do in the Zotero …

It seems like it's on the to-do list. See: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/101509/highlight-colors#latest

I do something very similar to Dellu, but I use Box instead of Dropbox / Dropsync. I add a folder on Box to Zotfile's Tablet Settings, and when I want to read a PDF on my tablet I right-click on it in Zotero and choose Manage Attachments > Send T…

Yes, a color dialog to create a custom palette, and / or the ability to change the opacity of the palette colors, would be really handy! (And for the note editor, too, not just PDFs.)

I'm also sweating on the end of life of v5, as, like Whateverr (and others) I have a huge number of notes with text formatting that can't be replicated in the new note editor. The key issues for me are: * colored text (inline and block level) * dif…

philip123cook raised this a while ago in this thread, and Dan Stillman indicated that it's on the radar. I'm not sure how simple it is to implement in a ProseMirror environment, though. I have to admit that I hope it's moving up the priority list, …

+1 from me, as well. I'm sure there are plenty of more pressing concerns for the devs at the moment, but this (along with colored text) is one of the key things keeping me from upgrading to v6. The use of visual cues in my notes is key to the way I…
-
The two things that I will miss most about the ability to edit the HTML - and that are preventing me from upgrading to v6 - are: (1) the ability to go through text copied from a website and tidy up the HTML so that it's actually readable and doesn'…

Sorry, that was a bit abbreviated. The full code I add to the note.css is as follows: blockquote { margin-left: 1.2em; border-left: 0px; } blockquote p:first-child::before { content: "‘‘"; font: 3em/0.1 georgia; letter-spacing: -4px; color: #709…

I have also used customizations in note.css to change the way notes look, for example changing blockquotes from having a solid line on the left to having a large blue quotation mark at the start of the quote by using this code in note.css: blockquo…
-
Would having the option to import annotations as blockquotes rather than as paragraph text with quotation marks be an option? (I'm guessing it might mess up the ways in which people get quotes out of notes and into their documents, though.) My per…

Thanks damnation, much appreciated!

+1 for back/forward, if it's at all possible. Would also love the option to open a collection in a new tab. (I think I'd need to upgrade my RAM pretty soon if that became possible, though. It would be much abused!)
-
The great thing about zotero.note.css is that you can get around defaults where you need to. Want different H1 formatting? Just add CSS. Different list item spacing? CSS. I guess hardly anyone ever uses it, but for those of us who do it's brilliant…
-
Oh, and I also put background-color behind superscripts so I can find the little buggers when I'm scanning text quickly. That's really helpful, too!
-
I can't speak for panyuz, but I have extensive customizations in zotero.note.css. The two I use most frequently are modifications to the blockquote (not crucial, just aesthetic, really, using first-child::before to insert a big quote mark) and separ…

Thanks adamsmith! And thanks zuphilip!

Hi sylvainp123, this is normal - Zotero needs to be able to find some metadata or text that it can match in its database. If it can't find anything to match (which is common for non-academic PDFs like the CIEL report) you can always add the informat…

I was able to get PortableZoteroStandalone 4 up and running, and when I checked for updates it downloaded and installed 5 quite happily - except for one snag. It throws up a "Data Directory Migration Error". Apparently Zotero5 wants to use your Wind…

Thanks for the quick reply! I hadn't thought to check for a context menu :-/

I have now tried Whateverr’s solution, which is to go into about:config (In Standalone it's: Preferences > Advanced > Open about:config) and set the "dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled" entry to "false". It seems to solve the "StartFragment" is…

Hi adomasven, yep, that seems to work! Zotero SA4 now recognizes the hyphenated URLs and I can save from Cambridge Core. Thanks for that - I hadn't thought about trying the beta connector with SA4 ... Thanks for the quick response!
-
I'm having this problem too (SA 4.0.29.17, Win10, any browser). When I check the HTML of the note, any copied text now starts with a paragraph containing a comment saying "StartFragment". When I delete this paragraph the note then gets the first lin…

Hi, I have always got my students to use Zotero within a portable version of Firefox so they can use it in the campus computer labs (and I use it that way when giving demonstrations). With 5.0 dispensing with the Firefox version, what are the chance…
-
For what it's worth, you can do quite a lot by adding CSS rules to the "extensions.zotero.note.css", but it's not immediately obvious to the uninitiated how to do it. The trick is to open about:config (Zotero Preferences > Advanced > General &…

I've been having this problem too. I'm syncing between 3 computers - 2 running Windows 7, one running Windows 8.1, using my uni's Webdav storage. For months every time I did a sync on any computer with Standalone it would take around 30-40 minutes t…
