• 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 :-/

  in Zotero 5.0 - show HTML button in note editor missing? Comment by claude70 July 18, 2017
• 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!

  in Cambridge core - proxy puts hyphens in the URL, breaks translator? Comment by claude70 April 14, 2017
• 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 &…

  in How to change formats in the notes windows ? Comment by claude70 May 22, 2015
• 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…

• Thanks Dan! I let it run and it doesn't seem to have changed or added any files on the WebDAV server - it did take over half an hour, though!
