You can get a sort of find-as-you-type if you sort by author, then click on the list and type a few letters of the author's name. That's one of my standard ways of using zotero in ff as well - for a "known item" search I find it the most straightfo…

Great! An additional issue was that the code didn't look for a quotation mark at the beginning but rather anywhere in the search string. This may have been the cause of a separate problem described in this thread http://forums.zotero.org/discuss…

For some reason this really bugged me so I hacked the code to fix it. There appear to be several problems here but I don't feel I understand the code well enough to create a patch. Given that no one seems interested I won't bother going into detai…

I notice this even on my "fast" machine but it's crippling on my netbook. Here's more detail: - run with debugging output on - type a quotation mark in the search box - zotero freezes up as it runs a whole pile of queries - type a letter - z…

One obvious solution would be to run your own server. That's not possible now because the server code has not been released. I believe the zotero team has indicated that the server code will be released at some point, but have not provided a timel…

pbjs, I'm in the same boat trying to plan for my dissertation and am very interested in anything to do with using zotero in dissertation- or book-length documents. On my platform (linux and openoffice) it's been a moot point because performance w…

It could be a specific problem if you are using the "record changes" option, described here. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2492/openoffice-basic-runtime-error/ If not, the unfortunate truth is that the OO plugin was always brittle and comple…

I think what pbjs wants to do is have an inline citation for figures, in a document that is otherwise using footnotes. So a figure caption with source like * Fig. 2 - Air-Speed Velocity of an Unladen European Swallow [source: Chapham and Cleese,…

I can confirm this but it doesn't happen with all search terms. When it does happen the nonsensical search results seem to all be web snapshots. I have very few snapshots in my library so others may be able to provide better test cases. You searc…

depends on your committee I guess :-/ and hey, maybe I want to be hermetic! ... Seriously though, my committee might be open to trying something like that, it hadn't occurred to me. Good point about the uniform suckiness of courseware. OTOH we'r…

That's a very interesting idea, to make note-taking a networked, multi-user activity. However I have to repeat my earlier comment (above) on feature creep and reinventing the wheel. I'll admit to having a huge bias here - I'm using zotero to pre…

If you're comfortable modifying code I've documented how to add search functionality here http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8784/howto-enable-additional-tinymce-note-editor-functionality/ People have different ideas about what functionality is n…

Not sure I have a lot to add but I agree that the distinction between canonical-vs-user data is misleading, and item-vs-user better. Another distinction here is between data model and UI. The data model needs to support a variety of tasks - prod…

another vote for this feature. Precisely the same use case. In addition to back/forward a MRU list would be nice.
-
This is likely a different problem but I've been seeing quite similar behavior with tags - mystery tags that are not in the tag cloud but DO show up in the auto-complete list, and can't be deleted. Eventually I figured it out. I have auto-tagging …

Also like the idea of being able to minimize the right pane. That would make for a sort of file-manager-esque UI. Or with both left and right panes minimized, quasi-spreadsheet-like. Both of which would be effective for certain kinds of researc…

I've posted a HOWTO here http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8784/howto-enable-additional-tinymce-note-editor-functionality/

I like some of these ideas to make the group functionality more effective for collaboration and teaching. However it seems to me rather massive feature creep and overlap with existing software. I wonder if there are possibilities of supporting int…

Try this: select the items, right click, select "generate report from selected items." That creates a report in your browser window - you can save it like a web page, or copy and paste.

Looks like this is planned for the final 2.0 version http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8306/testing-zoteroselect/ BTW are the zotero:// urls documented somewhere?

Actually I've figured out how to hack TinyMCE and have been meaning to post about it. Will try to do it tomorrow, or at least by the end of the week. This will provide a work-around, at least for more technical users, for some of these issues.

on using separate profiles I posted an idea here. ahh, let me just copy and paste (and slightly modify), it makes more sense in this thread anyhow. You can do something like a dedicated instance of firefox for a zotero library by installing the l…

Unfortunately getting a spell-checker to work in tinymce is not so easy. The model is that the spell-checker runs on a server, accessible via http. Recall that normally tinymce is embedded in a web page, not in the browser UI as zotero is. It c…

Aha! thanks. Anyone who wants to do this, note this is your forum settings not your zotero profile settings. From any forum page click "Account" under Quick Links. Then "Personal Information" and you can enter name-value pairs.
-
Relatedly, when you click on a user name in a forum message, there's no link to their profile, which is probably what you're interested in. For example, you read this message and think, "who is this bozo anyhow?" and click on my user name. mark, h…

The language tags might be sufficient. * The script subtag would allow you to distinguish between the two phonetic Japanese scripts. * The variant subtag is defined in a way that it could be used for the transliteration rule. In fact this subta…

I'm interested. This is one of two or three bits of functionality that prevent me from using "live" Zotero citations. I already had this thread bookmarked and will keep an eye on it...or feel free to email (see profile). A few comments: I can …

bump. See my post above - I realize this is not a full-blown word processor but people have various editing requirements and it'd be great if we could figure out how to hack the additional functionality of TinyMCE.
-
I also would like the ability to have zotero open in one tab. Usually I open a separate window and run zotero there, maximized, but I'd rather have it in a tab.

Possibly another way to approach this is via support for field data in multiple languages. As described in this thread, a crucial requirement for many users: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1798/ In terms of the title/subtitle problem, more d…
