Deleting those files and reinstalling fixed the error. Thanks. This problem may have started when I moved over from windows to mac. Thanks so much! I still get the error occasionally "no matching references found". Presumably this has a different …

Hi, I am using standalone zotero version 4.0.29.15 on a 2016 mac. I have found that the "retrieve metadata from PDF" tool has not worked for some time (about a year). Is this a common experience? How can I fix it? At the moment I get the error "C…

The drag and drop works well actually. The icons take a little while to update on my slow machine, so I hadn't quite realised that it worked.
-
What about if I am using Standalone? Any suggestions? Thanks, Charlie

Hi Adam, I was wondering if there had been any progress with the saving pdf functionality? I have to say, I often want to save a PDF directly. Currently I have to save to desktop, wait, navigate to where I saved it with a weird name, drag …

I have a similar experience to nschneid. Including a series name without a series number with the Journal of Fluid Mechanics .bst file causes an error in bibtex. I would like to see an advance input text pain in the export option where the exac…

I have found again that turning off Word immediately sped up the time it took to update document information in zotero. I use the bibliography add-in for Word which I imagine must reference the zotero database. After doing this, I made a log at…

I've done this. I've not used github before, so feel free to change things I've done wrong. https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/147

I am now finding that zotero is working much quicker, even when word is back on. Your doubt was well placed. I'm confident though that turning off word was one of the few things that I did before zotero sped up. Perhaps there was some unrequite…

I have found that turning off Word speeds up the updating. Perhaps this suggests that the hold up is from the Word addin talking to firefox. It is not ideal to have to turn off Word as I want to iteratively make changes to my library in or…

I was wondering if the issue of adding In press instead of a date has been addressed. I need it to follow the instructinos for Limnology and Oceanography http://www.aslo.org/lo/instructions/authors.html#References From searching I can't f…

That last one was in My Library root. This report D220705890 (and the one I submitted just prior to that) were carried out from within a collection. The time taken to repond seemed similar in both cases.
-
I am also finding zotero in firefox frustratingly slow. For example, there is ~5 second pause for each field that I update (e.g. an author's initial). I will try getting rid of the indexing, but ideally I would like to be able to search my PDFs…

I have extended the limnology and oceanography style to include technical report names and to deal with conference papers more simply. I'm not sure this is an improvement, but it is working for me for now.
-
I changed the ID to be different from the other IDs, but possibly had a file already with a filename that was the same as the ID of a different file. Maybe, I just confused myself. Fixed now!
-
Huh. Now, the - button did work. I think this may be because I was editting the .csl file directly in the zotero folder before. Perhaps my text editor was altering whether the files could be deleted. PErhaps it was the ID I was using before. I …
-
Thanks. I'll try your simpler approach. I think my problem may also come from the fact that I don't exactly understand what the ID tag is used for. Could this ID cause other files to be overwritten in the styles directory?
-
There is a bug here I think. Pressing the - button does not remove the style from the list when I do this. The most reliable way I've found to update a style is to i) uninstall the style, ii) turn off firefox and word iii) then reinstall the st…
-
In fact, it looks like the list refreshes once a new style is added. I think this is no longer a problem for me.
-
I have a similar problem. I am trying to uninstall a style that I have created in Zotero. The intuitive way to do this would seem to me to be to click the '-' button on the preferences>citations>styles dialogue. This doesn't seem to remov…

One other question. If the plug-in to automatically do the journal abbreviations is not working for me, what would you suggest is the best way of doing this for me at the moment? I suppose I should enter the Journal Abbr field for each of …
-
Hi fbennet, I need to use journal abbreviations matching CASSI or Biosis, so your Word plug in looks really useful. Thanks for your work on it. I downloaded the plug in and restarted Word and firefox. I couldn't find any alterations to the…

Thanks. So this will do the job better Your link http://citationstyles.org/downloads/primer.html is very helpful in understanding ho…

Thanks. My previous post didn't work unless I set the value of the vairables rather than the macros (as andre had done). I don't quite understand what the difference is, but the following does now work. …
-
I'm also facing this question of how best to cite a technical report. I am using the Limnology and Oceanography style to submit to that journal. It seems there is no clear advise on the journal's webpage about technical reports. I feel that the rep…
-
Reinstalling fixed the problem. I have no idea why zotero disappeared in the first place. Thanks for the firefox tip. I'm not sure whether to ditch FF entirely or stick to all their updates. I guess I'll try FF11 out. Thanks
-
As long as you are aware. Thanks.

PS When I make a post on this forum I always get a random other forum post emailed to my contact email address. This is peculiar. Is it intentional? (Excuse the random issue)

I tried this again and I seem to observe both behaviours. If I edit an entry, then the next click does not move the focus. If I click and hold for a moment, this seems to be better at moving the focus in the first click, but only if I haven't e…
