  • Dear Dan, I understand very well that, from your point of view, as your time for forum discussions is limited, my problem is solved by stating "free up some disk space... and don't worry". Certainly I had "freed up some disk space", otherwise I wou…
  • Dear Avram, I have deleted all the proxies schemes and tested the same ANs again. There has been no change in the results: if there is a pdf, it is downloaded properly as "EBSCO Full Text", even if there is no pdf, an attachment is still downloade…
  • Dear Dan, Thank you for your response. I am not a power user, so please, accept my apology for possibly dumb ideas. I have tried to find more information on the "NS_ERROR_STORAGE_IOERR". I have found notions in a bug report related to the interacti…
  • Dear Avram, Thank you for your response. I do not have the proxy redirection enabled. Do you think it still could be the source of the problem? I used redirection in the past, but then I realised it led to complications, so I disabled it (sometimes…
  • Dear Avram, dear Dan, I have already reported my recent findings in the thread on the forced FF restart. I am inclined to think the problems (2, 3) were caused by the lack of storage in the very drive where Zotero application data were stored. Zote…
  • Dear Dan, neither CHKDSK of both partitions, nor Zotero database integrity check showed anything significant. In the former case (CHKDSK), there were 888 unused index entries and a couple of bad clusters related to f3ahvoas.dll (Japanese keyboard l…
  • Dear Avram, Thanks again a million, I have tested the latest version of the translator on the following IDs: 227276984, 200520701, 201323086, 304408427, 02650525, 304897759. There are still problems. Not such a big deal. The "ProQuest Record" atta…
  • Dear Avram, Thanks for all the improvements. I very much appreciate and admire you are so committed to making translators perfect. I have tested the latest version of the EBSCOhost translator, and, as for AN, it works fine. However, there is a prob…
  • It is true that sometimes "Undo" would be very useful. In my case, it happens I accidentally delete title when editing it, or when copying a title to a wrong field (for instance, when creating a new item and copying title name from the source, I acc…
  • Dear Avram, Thanks for your reply. I am glad for the possibility to discuss these things. ITEMS Ad 1. (Conference) Proceedings What precisely do you need in such a type that you don't have in the type "Book"?... ...Personally, I've found "Book" to…
  • Done, tested, flawless. Kudos again, both to you and Josh. Thanks a million! I think I am not the only one who will benefit from this. As for "the URL thing", I agree. Partially. As I have written in the "ProQuest thread", in order to respect the p…
  • Done and tested. It worked well with the article I referred to in my previous post. However, in case of this thesis, the translator dowloaded snapshot of html page with pdf named "ProQuest Record" (although I retrieved citation from the citation/ab…
  • Dear Avram, I have already gotten replies both from Ovid and the CUCC (Charles University Computer Centre). In case of Ovid, it seems they are probably willing to deal with the issue somehow, they promised to contact me again. In case of the CUCC, …
  • Dear Avram, Thank you for your reply and all your endeavour. The links I have posted here were generated by EBSCOhost "Permalink" instrument (I have thought it was the way how to make them work for anybody, I was mistaken). You are absolutely right…
  • Dear Avram, This is to inform you I have written both to a contact person from my university and to Ovid. I hope it could help, at least in the longer perspective. Surely, it would make a difference, if many people wrote to Ovid, not only a couple …
  • I would like to second the JTownend' suggestion for Zotero to correct (or perhaps a better expression would be to transform) date entries visually. It is really confusing and unpractical to have so many different formats of the same date (month name…
  • Thanks for your assurance, I am already looking forward. Regards JR
  • It is somehow refreshing to read it is not only me who struggles with the "'quick' search". If the development team could do anything about it, I would be more than grateful. Even disabling it entirely would be an improvement, as accidental searches…
  • Dear Avram, I am sorry I have to report that I also have encountered a problem while working with the ProQuest translator (the latest version). When having tried to retrieve this entry, the "ProQuest Record" with fulltext in html seemed to be downl…
  • Dear Avram, I have tested the latest version of the EBSCOhost translator as I had promised. Unfortunately, I still need to use the workaround I had described previously. The RIS translator works fine now, abstract is being filled in the proper fiel…
  • Dear colleagues, as for the item types, what I miss at most is: 1. (Conference) Proceedings If one needs to catalogue proceedings "as a whole", one has to use a workaround and apply "Conference Paper" or "Book". Neither of these possibilities is …
  • Dear ajlyon, I can confirm the EBSCO translator is not working. There is a workaround still, via Export Manager. A brief manual for anybody with the same problem as I have experienced: 1. Click on "Export" in the menu on the right side of the EBSC…
  • Good afternoon, I have come across this thread as I am currently working with Ovid ATLA Religion Database + ATLAS. Indeed, it is very incovenient one has to do everything manually. There is a workaround in the form of using other databases to retri…
  • Dear Adam, I did what you had advised and it is much better now, usually I have to wait only for 3-5 seconds, which is acceptable. I hope I will be able to use indexing in the future again (in the meantime, I will try to reindex during night as you…
  • Dear Adam, Many thanks for your reply. Would it be possible to set the preferences as you suggest only for adding everything I need to add and then change them back to enable the full text search again? Or disabling the indexing of attachments mean…
  • Dear Adam, It seems the problem is still here and might not have been caused by FF extensions, in the end. The heavy lags and unresponding FF after adding a new link to file, or a new stored file, have not disappeared. In order to solve this, I tr…
  • Dear Adam, Thanks again for you interest. I am grateful you are willing and able to communicate almost instantly. I have disabled NoScript as well, as I had a feeling it might have caused slowdowns (I had tried the possibility you suggested already…
  • Dear Adam, Thanks for your reply. You are right the problems reported in the thread you referred to seem to be similar. However, in my case it is not only about slowing, or lagging, it means a deadlock, from which there is no way to escape except t…
  • Dear Adam, it seems to me I have managed to trace the roots of the problem. I have played with Firefox extensions a bit, and quite probably BrowserProtect (1.1.3) and/or FoxFilter (7.6.3) somehow collided with Zotero. I have disabled them, and also…
  • All right, good to hear, I have tried it again, and got this error message: [JavaScript Error: "attachment.serialize is not a function" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/data/item.js" line: 4356}] Zotero asked me to restart. JR
