I don't have a definitive answer, but I recall that OneDrive does allow access via WebDav but that working out how to make it work is one of life's great mysteries. Hours trawling online forums yielded nothing that worked for me. YMMV. I gave up and…

The confusion seems to be stemming from a misunderstanding of the terminology that Zotero uses. Collection and subcollection refer to the folders in the left-hand panel. Items are the books, articles etc in the main panel. A top-level ITEM is call…

Actions & Tags for Zotero can do all of these: Copy and paste tags Copy and paste tags of selected item(s) #194 This is a two-part action - in the Actions & Tags settings you need to create 2 separate actions, one for Copy and one for Paste…

Text elements (headings and paragraphs) need to have their colors set separately from the body. The code below should do what you're after: body {background: black;} h1,h2,h3,p {color: white !important;} pre {background: dimgray !important; color: …

If anyone's still having problems changing the formatting of text colors using the Config Editor, the code that dstillman suggested does work (at least for me, in v6 and v7 beta). If you add the following to the note.css dialog, you should get navy…

If you change the location of the folder your PDF files are in, then Zotfile can’t see them anymore, because the link is pointing to a different folder. Changing the Custom Location in Zotfile will only affect new PDF files that you move. To get the…

You can tell Zotfile to create folders that match your collection. If you're using the "Rename and move" function, then in the Zotfile Preferences go to the General Settings tab, and in the Location of Files section you can set the folder you want f…

The web app has never been meant as a replacement for the desktop app - it's a "better than nothing" option for when you don't have access to the desktop version. There is a portable version of Zotero that you can run from a Windows computer withou…

I've been using Koofr for the last few months, with none of the reported glitches. I'm still on Zotero v5, and I only test v6 (and the 7 beta) occasionally - but no glitches there, either. Koofr make a big deal of their WebDAV support, including for…

Here are mine. Daily use: Copy tags Paste tags Relate items Fairly frequent: Paste into empty item field Paste non-empty item field Paste all item fields Occasional but important (sometimes lifesavers!): Show attachments Modify attachments Copy a…

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…
