That's right. It needs to be done manually or with Zotfile - BBT simply generates the unique identifier which then becomes the base filename for electronic files; the uniqueness is important to prevent name collisions and possible file overwrites. …

Not sure if this has been mentioned over the 10-odd years of this thread, but here goes: I'm wondering if the Call Number field will be made available for all item types in the new release. It is currently not present in several (eg web page, podca…

For what it's worth: For the PDF (and other types of files, too) filenames I use the BibTeX citekey generated in BetterBibTeX by the pattern: [authors1+.:replace=.etal,+:lower][shortyear][title:skipwords:lower:abbr] and strip off the letters that…

Works a charm in styles that pay attention to month-date - eg IEEE, Chicago 17th Notes (but not author-date) etc.
-
Hmm, yes. I'm just going through (and cleaning up for Zotero) my thousands of refs imported from EndNote and noticed that there is no Date field for podcast (I have around a half-dozen of these). I put Date: into the Extras field, but most styles le…

Hmm, I thought it might be a bit tricky. Oh well, a quick edit of the BibTeX key, only needing to delete the final few letters, is a small price to pay for not having to create each key from scratch (as was necessary Back In The Old Days™). Strictly…

@adamsmith : You mean this one: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/378914/#Comment_378914 ? Yes, now installed. Very handy, but not quite what I am looking for, unless there is a style that shows all non-empty fields. Thanks.

@emilianoeheyns : Yep! Perfect. Many thanks! Now I just need to work out how to omit anything in the subtitle (ie after the ":" (or other sentence-ending punctuation).

Hi @qqbb, I do have Reports installed, and that functionality is quite nifty - so thanks for the idea - it's just that it is much more convenient & efficient to look at the condensed format on screen (which is what I used to do with ProCite, A…

For what it's worth, I tried to use Zotero as both a citation manager and a zettelkasten, but could never get it to work properly. So, I use Zotero as a citation manager -- which is after all what it is designed for -- and a separate application tha…

Well, I've now made the full switch and installed the Better BibTeX (BBT) plugin for Zotero which implements the functionality I wanted. Wow! Love it. I also love that BBT can export and keep updated a BibTeX file that I can point both my LaTeX and …
-
Hmm. Well, that's why a toggle button, for example on the frame of the item pane, would be handy, as an option to be used if required. My workflow moves between bulk editing and adding records, which obviously needs all fields to be visible, and si…

Any further progress on this? I'm switching away from EndNote to go all-in on Zotero on Linux... (This latter is an adventure in itself ... ;-) So, any updates on support for citekey as a field in Z would be welcome. Thanks.
-
@emilianoeheyns - only the file that comes with the standard distro of Z. I've not had a go at modifying anything.
-
Never did much javascript (even though I did work for Netscape back in the 1990s...) and am too long out of the coding game these days. I guess I'll just keep hoping and waiting for when CiteKey is an actual thing which is part of the field structu…

No, it still imports the contents of the label/label pair into the Zotero Notes as something without a corresponding field. Is there an XML tag that can be used to import into the Extra field of Z? Thus I would replace label style face="normal" f…
-
The RIS file mod/import worked like a charm, thanks @bwiernik. The trouble is there is a LOT of formatting in the EN db that has been lost due to the issue you noted, @adamsmith. I'll now try a hack to see if I can't kludge Zotero XML import to giv…
-
OK, cool. That was my mistake - trying to edit the XML file (= nightmare) instead of the friendlier RIS file. many thanks!
-
@bwiernik - yes, I'd like to know how to modify the EndNote import file to shift the EndNote "label" to the Zotero Extra field as "Citekey: `label`" It seems the proposed inclusion of a Citation Key hinted at above is still pending, so it is time t…
-
OK, thanks for this advice and info - a citation key field would be most welcome - which is what I meant wrt "label". In ProCite this was the RecordID, which was auto-generated, or could be changed to a custom alphanumerical string, which is how I u…

The EndNote label is used to generate the BibTeX label used for citations in BibTeX when exporting from EN to BibTeX. This is important for consistency of reference labelling across systems. I have used 3 types of systems so far - ProCite, EndNote a…
