  • ASUS G75VW notebook, Windows 10 Home, solid-state drive. I'm importing a local bibtex file. I also tested import from Mendeley sqlite-file, it works faster, but not that much (~5-6 items per second, yielding ~ 15 minutes total for ~5000 Mendeley ite…
  • I've tried to import a much smaller bibtex file, with only ~5000 items, and it took me more than an hour (about 1-2 items per second! ). It's clearly not a limit of SQLite, the bottleneck is on Zotero's side. What's impossible with fixing this in Zo…

  • Thanks, I've searched the forum on this topic, and from what I can tell, the problem was that all arXiv preprints were mapped to Report, even those which were published in a journal and so were surely citeable as @article in bibtex. But I rarely see…

  • Are there APIs to work with this PDF recognizer, so that developers could use it in 3rd-party apps? I've looked at Zotero API pages, couldn't find anything related to this functionality. If it's really not available, are you planning to open this fu…
