@vfatemi I used this for a while: https://github.com/frangoud/ZoteroDuplicatesMerger but I have stopped at some point and I still do it manually, I think I experienced some bugs with the plugin, but never bothered to investigate more in depth
-
@jazow Thanks a lot, this should solve my problem!
-
Thanks for the explanation and apologies for being so impatient. I hope this small issue will be taken into consideration, I personally waste quite a lot of time changing item types before merging preprints and journal articles.
-
Any news on this? Is there any way to more formally suggest an option to enable merging of entries with different item types?
-
I also support this, I've mentioned this in a more general question on workflows to combine arXiv preprints with journal versions when the paper is published: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/99220/arxiv-preprints-and-published-journals-workflow

Thanks a lot @dstillman ! This resolves my problem, sorry for only pasting into Obsidian. I'll get in touch with the BBT developer. The only quirk that seems due Zotero is not copying the annotation at the first attempt, but it's absolutely minor.
-
By the way, in case it is useful information: if I re-enable Better BibTeX for Zotero I can't copy any annotation.
-
I have now disabled all the plugins. Something weird happened this time: I started Zotero with the pdf already open, I copied an annotation, pasted into a text editor but nothing happened, then selected and copied a different annotation and it work…
-
Yes I get nothing when I paste, whatever text editor I use. The debug ID for copying a PDF annotation is D732340279

@dstillman Thanks for the reply! The behaviour you describe would satisfy my needs, but it doesn't work for me. If I select the pdf annotation and press cmd+c (I'm on macOS) when I paste I get nothing at all... I'm using Zotero 6.0.7. Am I missing …

+1 (this feature would also be a good enough excuse for me to buy an iPad, haha)
-
Excellent, thanks a lot, I updated the translators and now it's fixed!
-
Thanks for the quick answer, glad to know you have started to look into the issue.
-
Thanks for taking our comments seriously! My answers 1) For me the really important thing is updating the medatada. If Zotero was also able to download the new pdf it would be nice, but it's by no means a fundamental feature. In principle I agree w…
-
I also work with a lot of arXiv preprints and from time to time (mostly when I actually get to read the paper) I want to check if the paper has been published or updated. Back when I was using Mendeley my workflow was to just update the metadata ba…
-
Any update on this? I was planning to update to Big Sur during this Christmas break, but if ZotFile breaks I need to wait...
-
More than one year after my original post I finally found time to look at this issue again. It turns out that last year I was doing something very stupid. I write just to confirm to whoever might be intersted that the procedure to decrypt the databa…
-
Thanks for replying! I was able to follow the whole procedure, but I could never get the successful output "$1 = 0" from the rekey command. Sometimes I got "$1 = 8", but even doing the things written in the section "Update" I could never manage to …

I am having a lot of trouble with those scripts :( do you know if the author rdiaz02 is still active on the forum? Thank you for your help

Hello, I am a long time Mendeley user and I would like to make the switch to Zotero... Before trying and make a mess, I would like to know if all the methods discussed here are still valid for Zotero 5. Thanks!
