Sorry, but I don't have Endnote, even assuming that it would work with LibreOffice. Three cheers for Zotero, which is free if you aren't employed at a university! An idle observation is if this limited functionality is only accidental, then it shou…

Thanks for the prompt response. Here's a more thorough description of the situation and my question: 1. I've stored relevant information as a "note" in Zotero, either as a stand-alone note or imbedded within an entry (for example, a patent entry). 2…

I'm creating a list of notes from Zotero into LibreOffice. So I just select the "Note" from beneath the main entry and create a numbered list in the target LibreOffice file. However, the number of characters which can be imported in this way from Z…

Yeah, nesting searches would be very, very helpful. FWIW, I mean this in the sense of Boolian logic. For example research results must fit A + (B or C). Saving "smart" searches, instead of folders and subfolders, etc. would be much more efficient. …

Hi any thoughts on this issue? Thanks FH

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. For example, here is the URL for a search which I just conducted a few minutes back: https://patents.google.com/?q=Lumera+AND+waveguide&oq=Lumera+AND+waveguide If you have access to my library, then you can…

Yo, bwiernik! Do you have any new input on my question? Thanks fentonh

I'm using Zotero 5.077, Firefox 70.0.1 (Apple) and the Zotero app to search patents on Google Patent. However: 1. The abstracts and frequently the patent classifications don't download. 2. When simultaneously saving a group of patents, the litera…

Here's a related question for you. Please excuse if this has already been addressed - I couldn't locate it on the forum: I've imported a very messy database of approximate 4,500 entries. The tags sometimes have two combined terms. For example "red …

I have a Mac. Using most recent versions of LibreOffice & Zotero. They would no longer integrate. Here is what I did, and it may also help you: 1. Install Java JDK and restart the computer. 2. I went to Tools-Extension Manager on LibreOffice. …

I can confirm that the described search does allow to select only the pdfs. When I do so, and then "move item to trash" it then moves the complete entries to the trash. However when I move to the trash folder, and repeat the selection process, onl…
-
I'm sorry but this is clearly not working. Searching “Item Type” -> “is” -> “attachment”, with none of the three boxes selected gives everything (entries and sub-entries) Searching “Item Type” -> “is” -> “attachment”, with the “show onl…

I work with patent files and journal files. I delete the sub-folders which contain the pdf file then that will erase the journal pdfs. However, Zotero then finds any open-access patents and journals on the internet....and downloads them. Back to squ…

Thanks for your response. However, we may have a misunderstanding. If I carry out an advanced search as: "Attachment File type" -> "is" -> "pdf" -> "search subcollections" or "Item Type" -> "is" -> "attachment" -> "search subco…

Actually it's not possible to erase the "full text" from within the trash.
-
(2) - easier to answer. It appears that the searches which one carries out at home do not back up to the website. This is normal, correct? Thanks for both comments.
-
Hi, there again. Two new questions on search engine use in Zotero, in two separate comments. (1) I have created and saved two separate searches. Now I'd like to create a third search which combines features of both of the previous ones. For example,…
-
Thanks!
-
A wish-list feature is the ability to carry out Boolean searches. For example, (RED or YELLOW) AND GREEN. Of course it's possible to search for RED or YELLOW, save that search and copy the search hits into a new collection. However, it's not possi…
-
This works, thanks.

Here is what I've noticed for copying entries between libraries: 1. I create a new library. 2. I drag-and-drop entries from a folder in the old library to the new library (OK). 3. I then modify an entry in the NEW library, and then try to drag-and-d…

Sure. This one has 28 hits. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=/netahtml/PTO/search-adv.htm&r=0&p=1&f=S&l=50&Query=(%22second+harmonic+generation%22+OR+SHG+OR+…

I'm attempting to download patent references from http://patft.uspto.gov . My observation is that while it seems possible to download four patent references, 10 will not work. I'm using Firefox, but Chrome also seems to have issues. The little light…

I'm leaving "logging" open on both the browser and the desk-top program.

From the portion of the instructions labeled "Zotero" Here is the ID: D386384977 From the portion of the instructions titled "Zotero Connectors (Firefox, Chrome, and Safari)" btw - I'm using Firefox.; Report ID: 775833613 N.B.: I started "manuall…

I have hundreds if not a thousand of duplicates. An auto-function (which could be activated) would be very welcome!
-
It's turning out to be a challenge to get any of the python programs to remove massive amounts of duplicates - perhaps 500.
-
Is it possible to also see the duplicates list on the website (and not just in the local program)?
-
Yeah I have the same problem

Speaking as a non-coding geek, do any of these scripts work for macintosh?
