I'm suggesting that Zotero interpret the RIS fields according to the spec (which I think I'm reading correctly). There CONF = Conference Proceedings and CPAPER = Conference Paper. So having Zotero do CONF = Conference Paper is wrong (again, if …
-
My own preference would be that Zotero follow the spec and the other sites be encouraged to as well. WorldCat's RIS files are just a mess (as is noted elsewhere in these fora), and it's nice that Zotero's scraper does a better job.
-
(Figured I'd return to this one) So how does one push for a particular site translator, in this case IHE...obviously. It's one I use a lot.
-
I'm all for options. Just a little prefs checkbox would make me happy. :-)
-
Hmmm, yes, I hadn't noticed that. So the request is, I guess, that the label set automatically to the same thing it becomes upon executing the renaming option, or at least that there's an option to do that. (Seems odd to me that this isn't done auto…
-
Yes, but it stayed tripped up. :-)
-
Yes, but it just worked now after re-starting Zotero. How 'bout that. I wonder if I somehow goofed it up because I tried it first with the whole URL instead of just this part.
-
I actually have my Zotero files in my main Documents path, so they are indexed already and show up in Spotlight searches. Can't you just do a mdimport /path-to-your-files/Zotero\ data/ ? This will get the files, but not the zoter…
-
Have to say that I agree about this import issue. Why not a pref for "Import RIS into new collection"? For me it's often easier just to export to RIS and then drag and top that file onto Zotero standalone. If it weren't for the new collection, …
-
I did mean CSL syntax, yes. 3. I meant that there are no commas between, for example, "Keay" and "S. Moser" and see (b) below. A few more things, now that I've cleaned up my Zotero entries: a) A legitimate book entry with an editor, m…
-
Bump.
-
1. Is Zotero actually language-sensitive? That is, does it apply different sets of rules? (Just a question) 2. Good point. That's an import from an old biblio I had made. Note that if page numbers are missing the entry just ends without a final…

1. You know I tried that! But with three-letter codes, which is what I usually use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes 2. You can try this one out of my library: https://www.zotero.org/john_muccigrosso/items/collection…

Two problems with the current version in the bibliography section: 1. text-case="title” doesn’t seem to account for foreign languages. For example "Und" is getting capitalized in the middle of German titles. 2. The names of editors after a…
-
The standalone really doesn't stand alone if it's looking at Firefox for settings.
-
This would suggest that the standalone really doesn't.
-
Yes. "works as expected" isn't a great answer here. Why should Zotero care whether I'm on line or not? The problems are obvious.
-
Thanks. So: 1. This is a bug in Zotero, right? 2. No way to implement this "work off-line" thing from within Zotero? (FF is not my default browser.)
-
Just had this problem this morning with an up-to-date MAcBook Pro installation using NeoOffice. Lion and Zotero at the latest versions. Worked fine once I was in the office and on-line. Where do I check the off-line mode?
-
Works for me. Thanks!
-
Not on my system. It left it where it was. This was after attaching the file with Zotfile, to be clear.
-
Ah, it actually does do what I want, though it explicitly says that it "stores a copy of the file in Zotero" which sounds exactly like what Zotero does, and I don't want. Should really read "Moves, renames and attaches..." (A related quest…
-
That seems to use a different file storage system entirely, and not have the option of defaulting to Zotero's built-in system, in contrast for what it does for renaming. For better or worse, I decided to let Zotero organize files. :-)
-
Good to know. Thanks. I was thinking that the metadata would be better with the connector. One difference between the two methods on this page: the right-click gives a better name to the snapshot, while the connector calls it simply "snapshot."
-
Yes, saw that and forgot to note. Sorry. Bit frustrating that I have to open FireFox.
-
Right, though it wouldn't be greyed out as it is now, though I suppose it could be grey-scale instead of colorful. (And now that I think of it, the special book icon is pretty dull too, though I guess Apple is moving towards grey all over the p…
-
I see what you mean, but I would put it this way: Both browser types give you a clear indication when Zotero has a special way to handle a site: Firefox has the URL-field icon; Safari has the changed button appearance. That means to me tha…
-
Ah, that's what it is! That's a major difference in functionality that had me confused. The Firefox button is always available and working (even if it does a different thing from Safari's), and I expected the Safari button to be as well. O…
-
I'll put it this way: with the exception of Amazon, my Zotero icon remains perpetually greyed out. So when I wrote "ordinary" I meant "not Amazon." This means that I can't add any of those non-Amazon sites to my collection. (There are indeed ot…
-
OK, upgraded Firefox to the 3.0 beta and set the connector.enabled pref to false. Then went to Safari and toggled the extension off and on. No error message now. Also the icon on blog pages is a greyed out Z with a line through it and the hover text…
