Thx much.

*Bump* Anyone? Maybe nobody besides dstillman has 5.0 installed?
-
Can anyone else confirm that 5.0 doesn't have the problem? I really don't want to install a beta version. I am a confirmed non-early adopter. But this issue is of sufficient weight that if 5.0 eliminates this issue for sure, I'll do it. So can I ge…

> Switch to Chicago Author date > Ctrl+Shift+C should also save you a lot of time Neither of these are helpful. Chicago Author date for note gives me the useless parenthetical author last name + year, while bibliography of course gives me t…

I have just read the proposed changes and am disappointed, yet again, at the lack of attention paid to core functionality in terms of anthologies which I pointed out in https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/11557/please-implement-anthology-entries/p1…

Addendum: I'm not a programmer, so advice on how to do this by tinkering under the hood with JavaScript is unlikely to be helpful unless you give me line-by-line instructions (you'd practically have to write the code for me and tell me exactly where…

Thx.

What's the timeline for the next version?
-
Awesome. I can take it from there. Time to get out the ol' DOS documentation...though some of it doesn't port over to windows (7).

Concatenate in text form? Do you mean via a word-processing program, in which the text from several RIS files are placed together in just a single RIS, separated by a multiple hard returns? That would definitely save some time, since presumably at …

> Sounds like you're copying the file to clipboard Yes, that's what I was doing. Didn't know I needed to actually open the file in a text editor first. Not a very user-friendly process...and "Import..." is not an option because as OP noted, it w…

Have same problem. I was using jstor on a campus computer, so exported citations as *.ris to my thumb drive. Now home & trying to import with same results as OP above. Stillman's recommendation is no help. I copy the *.ris file and try to "impor…

check the forums before trying these sorts of drastic steps Dan, as my detailed post (which you must not have read) should have made rather obvious, I did precisely that, and quite thoroughly; which is why ... don't hesitate to post on the forums …

Excellent. I think that ought to do it.

Yes, see my objections to the keyboard method in https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/32433/tab-to-list-collections-containing-instances-of-an-item/ . By the way, if anyone else is reading this and goes to that link but can't find the method, don't …

Interesting--must be a fairly new recommendation. (This dates me more than I'd like, but I own the 14th ed.) Nobody in my field is including DOIs in citations yet even though Chicago is the by far the most prevalent style.
-
Sorry I never weighed in on this again. My dissertation is killing me, and time is extremely tight. re this... maybe the OP has some input - obviously it'd be useful to hear from someone who didn't find the page clear in the first place....I like t…

OP seconds aurimas's suggestions, including generic "pub title" which would also take care of journals. (and do call it "title" rather than "label".) adamsmith didn't mention the press's name along w/pub date, so make sure to include that--all the s…
-
Ah-so, there is no solution. Stink. OK, adding a feature request. (*sigh*) Automatic tags are the only kind that would be relevant here because the accident generally occurs immediately upon download, before any subsequent additions; and I don't us…
-
Thanks to aurimas for the clarification. But "clear as possible" on the download page? I beg to differ (and before I self-censored this response, my verbiage was rather less polite). I certainly agree that's where it should be made plain, but the do…
-
OK, thanks for the info. That's what I wanted to know.
-
OK, thanks for clearing that up. > However, Zotero should be able to import the EndNote® file just fine. Yes, it did. Thanks, Mike
-
OK, I did that, ASCII text file with extension changed to *.marc & selecting MARC type within Zotero's importation dialog, and no dice. Just to make sure Zotero wasn't choking on too many items, I cut a single item and put it in its own individu…
-
I had done that before with MARC records and it didn't work. Since you said to do it, I thought maybe Zotero couldn't do this with MARC, so I tried the End-note/Refworks format and it worked. But why is that? Surely Zotero is parsing MARC recor…

Dan--Oops, sorry, I upgraded prior to reading your last paragraph. I read your first sentence, hopped over to the home page and did it, and then tried to generate a footnote. Lo and behold, it's working again; the errors aren't occurring. So, a…

I will actually be working with Tjowens' method for now because I use neither OO nor Word (wouldn't touch the latter with a ten-foot pole, and won't touch the former because it's nearly a clone of Word, with most of the attendant faults except that …
