I am a longtime (15 years) Zotero and Android user who will also be thrilled when Zotero for Android is available.

Problem solved by self: "Add to Note" at the top of pop-up menu is only activated if an Item Note has already been created and is opened up in right notes panel. I had erroneously expected the "Add to Note" menu option to create the Note and add t…

Today, what is the best way to add to Zotero library when browsing on Chrome for Android?

in Zotero www.zotero.org refused to connect. Comment by protein function June 14, 2022

I just independently 'invented' the same strategy as suggested by @Guillaume L in 2015 1) to add the "extra" column to the database (shows up for all entries) and 2) to add 1-5 asterisks (or any character) to selected entries to reflect the importan…

Yes, this worked. Thank you @dstillman

in can I point to PDF attachments downloaded from my webDav server Comment by protein function March 12, 2022

Idea 2. If I point Zotero to a new WebDav server account, can I copy and paste the folder contents from my old pCloud WebDav account and expect synchronization of PDF file attachments to work?

Thank you @dstillman for pointing out how to move items between collections in one step (as explained on https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags)

Oh, so that is the answer "you must now have a paid pCloud account for the webdav to work. Webdav has been discontinued for free users". I suspected this. Thanks for confirming.

Hi FG @giannang-temp Any word from pcloud? Several others of us are having what appear to be related issues with pcloud. When I log-in to my pcloud account I notice my last modification of Zotero folder there was 02/10/2022. I wonder if this may …

yes, same for me. I guess @dstillman says getting a 401 Forbidden back from pcloud. I probably am also. Ive been using pcloud webdav with Zotero for years. Yesterday, I noticed that Zotero attachments didn't sync to a new computer/new Zotero insta…

in Zotero not syncing Comment by protein function March 8, 2022

The only way I see to move an item from one collection to another is to 1) copy (drag item from middle pane) to new collection (left pane) and then 2) right click-remove item from (current) collection. This workflow is good for reorganizing an ite…

Analogous to colors (in my mind), I wish there was a way to tag items (to rate their importance to me) in my library using 1-5 stars.

LabArchives has really grown. My company uses it for our Electronic Lab Notebook. I have used it for years even at prior companies. I would love to see integration for example to add bibliographies generated by Zotero to entries in the ELN.

in LabArchives integration Comment by protein function August 19, 2020

Using multiple profiles (windows, zotero 5 standalone), I believe the library in my original/primary profile could be sync'ed with Zotero web while new 2nd, 3rd ... etc 'additional' profiles could be kept local only. Is it possible to export selecte…

Yeah!! That worked great (so far I have only opened up old Zotero library successfully). One hint: when you install Firefox 52esr, go to FF options and decline automatic updates or else it will always upgrade to newest FF (not compatible with Zotero…

zotero-scholar-citations version 1.9.3 works well with zotero standalone 5.0 (I'm using zotero 5.0.54).

in New Field Request: citation count Comment by protein function August 29, 2018

I requested stars or read vs unread buttons.... but I understand we have colors. I am color-blind and thus not hugely thrilled with tagging by colors... but that's just me. OK. I'll use them if I can find them. HOW DO I FIND AND USE THESE MUCH TOUTE…

@OnoDaito OK, I do have ver 1.1.1 (that's progress on the PlayStore front). This update has not changed the behaviors I mentioned above for not being able to open a PDF from box webdav that I know is there (nor am I able to test personal webdav)…

@OnoDaito Google Play Store still not indicating an update for my installed ZotDroid version 1.0. Please consider to troubleshoot PDF access issue for Samsung Galaxy S8 running Android 7. I can test if needed.

Hi @OniDaito using external path didn't allow viewing PDF files on box webdav server in ZotDroid. I added an SD Card to my Galaxy S8. I created a new ZotDroid directory on the SD Card. I changed ZotDroid Download Location to "/SD card/ZotDroid…

@OniDaito You asked "so does it work for you now? I hope so!" I won't know until I go home tonight and insert a microSD card. I will let you know (sorry for the delay). Regarding adding citations via Zotdroid and alternatives: While I don't PRE…
