  • Note that Loc. In Archive is not present in all items types, so bear that in mind (mind you, neither is CN, for that matter). If I had it to start over again, I might have gone with your idea, though. The only two fields present in all items are Ex…
  • I use the Call Number field to show whether items are on the Shelf S, eLectronic L on computer, Filing cabinet F, Kindle ebook E(K), Audible E(A), and about 30 other codes for various things (eg, ordered & waiting for delivery, a chapter as part…
  • Perfect! Rights becomes the Index ID for the Zettelkasten! Now I just need a way to change the field's name so it says just "ZID" ;-) Many thanks!
  • @adamsmith Fair call. Have started a new thread.
  • I'm wondering if there are any fields that are visible in ALL ref types, and which could be added as a column to the main view. Since Call Number is not yet available to all ref types, I am looking for something else that can function as a sort of …
  • Update: I have started using Obsidian, since it is also based on plain Markdown, and so not subject to app lock-in. I do like the files view down the left side, and the linking is very smooth indeed. I now use Zettlr for writing longer pieces, whi…
  • Yes, definitely want to throw my hat into the Zo6 appreciation ring. I've been watching and using Zo for a few years now, and 6 is another notch up of just really great reference managing goodness! ;-)
  • Yes, this seems to have done the trick! There are two different file sizes present in the options for downloading from the links you've given above: 1)-Download and 1)-Raw both produce a file size of 12.5kb; 2)-Releases also produces the same. BU…
  • I tried d/l with Brave instead of FF. Same errors: both the zip -T test and the install error.
  • Tried testing integrity of zipfile: $ zip -T ZoteroPreview.xpi zip warning: missing end signature--probably not a zip file (did you zip warning: remember to use binary mode when you transferred it?) zip warning: (if you are trying to read a dama…
  • Per the previous-to-previous post: Debian-based Linux (specifically PureOS, based on Debian 11 [bullseye]).
  • Just the usual: * Download the .ZoteroPreview.xpi file from https://github.com/dcartertod/zotero-plugins * Open Zotero * Tools > Add-ons * Drop down on cogwheel > Install Add-on From File... * Browse to downloaded file... * Error as shown.
  • For some reason, this add-on won't install for me any more (I rebuilt my system and have been re-installing software). Info: * Debian-based Linux * Zotero 6.0.13 I download the add-on from the usual git URL (https://github.com/dcartertod/zotero-pl…
  • I am still wondering if anyone has come up with an add-on for this (what seems to me to be a) fairly simple feature. Put simply, a toggle, or perhaps a tab, in the Item Pane that "collapses" the view to only show the non-empty fields. As I noted ab…
  • I use Report, with the preprint archive and number given in the Report Number field. Once it is formally published (article, book chapter, etc), I cut that identifier out of that field, change the Item Type to the formally published type, and paste …
  • Rob away! The point is to use one that requires the least amount of brainpower to remember or use -- and use the leftover to put into research and writing ;-)
  • Not autopinning is very useful because, as emiliano says, it gives you a chance to modify the citekey to something that might need to be altered or shortened. See, for example, the pattern I use, described at: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/co…
  • Therein lies one problem -- many changes are to the Style Manual's non-citation sections. The Changelog lists multiple changes to what the 6th edition print version had: https://www.stylemanual.gov.au/changelog But it is less than easy to trawl th…
  • And I see that the (rather irritating, I always thought) "vol. no. pp." convention has been dispensed with in the new update, in both the author-date and note-based forms. It now looks closer to the older "Vancouver style" citation system that was …
  • Just as a point of trivia -- we required students to use the AGPS Style Manual 6th edition version (2002) of Harvard in our postgrad courses years ago (I still have a copy right here). One student (from an Aust Govt dept) in particular was fairly an…
  • I have found that Zettlr (which uses Markdown as its basis) paired with Zotero is very handy when it comes to note-taking. Zettlr also can function as a zettelkasten (see Wiki) for cross-linking notes. Using Better BibTeX, you can auto-export the d…
  • Done. For others who might want to follow this, see: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/issues/1810
  • That's just because of this. The choice is somewhat arbitrary, since I don't know where the term will show up in the bibliography (where a leading capital would be appropriate or not). Ah, I see. But I can also see that the UK and Australia, for exa…
  • in what sense are you getting errors? Undesirable output, error message popups of some kind, something else? The .bib file contains error messages such as that shown above ("missing required field year"). It seems that the season entry confused the …
  • Just reporting that I also get Better BibTeX export errors for any date with a season in it, whether it precedes or follows the year. The year itself is not output into the (BBT generated) .bib file, but the standard BibTeX export will output the ye…
  • A follow-up to the above: I installed the Report Customizer and am finding it excellent, so a thank-you to @emilianoheyns for another great add-on!
  • I used ProCite from 2000 to 2006-ish, then switched to EndNote, which I used until mid last year, and have been massaging the import of my EN references into Zotero for a while now. For me, it is largely the FOSS nature that has drawn me to Zotero …
  • This is an excellent add-on! I've been using it continually since installing it a week or so ago. I can't imagine not having it now. @dcartertod - any chance of a mod that does this: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/89263/feature-request-a-togg…
  • I pin the keys once I am happy with them being unique (the vast majority arrived already pinned from the EndNote import process which required a rename of the EndNote "Label" to "Citekey: `label`" into Extra in the import file - help on this in thes…
  • I meant that the generation of BBT keys does not (seem to) produce an identifier (basename) that collides with an existing reference,* which is important since I copy the downloaded files into a single /References directory (as noted above) for hist…
