Thanks so much to you both. This is what I needed. I will send the metadata requirements to FamilySearch, but it sounds like the work required on the FS end will be prohibitive. Perhaps, though, they can use it on new material. Much appreciated!
-
Thank you! We'll see if it helps.
-
That's good to hear. Thanks!
-
Gotcha. Someone made the point this past weekend that openly readable files might be the thing that saves our work from becoming obsolete when software disappears. We'll still have it in some form. There's an up-side.

I have a second monitor that hasn't been connected for some while, but is still configured as the right half. And I did just try this at my office, where there is only one monitor, and it's looking fine. So I'll try to turn off the second monitor op…

Sorry I took so long to see this. Thanks, guys. I assume you're saying we'd be closing the front door and leaving all the windows wide open because of the files on the drive? I will be teaching Zotero several times this year and want to be ready to …

Thanks, Adam. How do we add something to the wish list?
-
That is my plan--let the Letter field be the catch-all. I just think Zotero might want to make the changes in a future update. The CSL, though, needs to be altered to get rid of the duplicate date field in the Letter item type. Thanks, Adam.
-
Thanks, Adam. I've noticed a couple of things that might be related. I think I understand that Letters, Emails, and Instant Messages are all variants of the same item type in CSL: "Personal Communication." They are distinguished based on the type (g…

Gotcha. I think we are at the place where we finally need to do what you guys have recommended before--create a variant of the CMOS style for genealogists. (We also need dates formatted 14 Mar 1992.) Let me ask you this. If we do that, is there a wa…

It seems to be speculating on what it's finding in the field--grabbing a four-digit numeric string to make it a year. What if it found a space and nothing else? Could the program interpret that to mean, leave me blank?
-
Thanks, Adam. We'll put it on the wish list.
-
Now, five years later, can I renew the appeal for a compiler option? It's a different type of book creation, long accepted as such, and the creator options seem oddly incomplete without it.
-
Thank you. It's working for me today. Must have been a temporary fluke. I appreciate your help!
-
It's for primary sources, indirectly, but I'm having to use the Book Sections to come close to reaching EE guidelines when the primary source is coming through multiple layers--like a folder called "Bennett, Mardecia, S. Perry Co. Est. 53-002-0093"…
-
Thank, Adam. I did see that reference in CMOS. I do wish we could be given the option here to use both, if desired. A growing number of us are using Zotero for genealogical research, and doing the best we can to adapt it to the "Evidence Explained" …
-
It works! Wonderful. Thanks, Adam.

Zotero was my software of choice in graduate school and I want to continue it for my genealogical work. Has any progress been made on this desire to get Elizabeth Shown Mills's style available in Zotero since these conversations some years ago? It r…

It says: Note 'Full Text VISIONS FOR COMPANY: OTHERNESS AND THE SUPERNATURAL IN 19' CENTURY EN...' too long

I hope this is the right place to put any Zotfile discussions. Please forgive the duplication, all who have already seen it on the Zotero add-in discussion. Here's the gist: Much of my research involves using PDFs that are not searchable. They …

I've found the OCR recognition in Adobe Professional so awful on the old historical documents that it's never safe to highlight the text. Cleaning it up would take ten times longer than retyping it. (If they can improve OCR on old fonts, many of us …
-
It's inelegant, but here's what I'm doing. The field will accept a single long string, so long as there are no spaces or punctuation. I'm using "yyy1650zzz1833" to mean originally published in 1650, but using the 1833 edition. Since I'm unlikely to …
-
I think I've solved it myself. I don't think Zotfile likes the PDF format these particular files had been created in. When I opened them in Adobe Reader and did "Save As-->PDF" and tried to extract from the new file, it worked fine.

Thanks so much! That makes sense.
