I have many notches on my desk for Zotero converts - but there is always at least one recalcitrant dog... I can probably get my "Endnote Guy" to insert citations into the text using curly brackets instead of parentheses so rtf_scan could read i…

Banging my head against this issue now. I use Zotero, one colleague uses EndNote, and another is manually typing citations in. Using Word (2010). We now maintain 3 separate bibliographies at the end of the document. This seems to keep the Zo…

"The next version of the Chrome connector will likely run in Opera, which now accepts Chrome extensions." I didn't know that. Thanks. I haven't keep any notes on examples of problems sorry.. but I'll keep some better notes now and see if…

In my field where I'm trying to import citations and pdfs from the scientific literature I do encounter a fair bit that the firefox plugin imports but standalone wont. My workflow now involves using both. When I'm in research mode trolling for new…

"closing a five-year-old ticket" - nice one Dan. ta.

The mouse cursor should consistently display the [+] modifier for all the copy operations for clarity to the user. Currently you see the [+] if you hold ctrl and drag, but no indicator if you don't, but the result is the same copy operation. …

Thanks Dan, To clarify my feature request. When the end user has recursiveCollections FALSE, my request if for quicksearch to behave as if recursiveCollections is TRUE. My manual toggling of the setting shows quicksearch could tempora…

Thanks - I emailed support just now also. .. and I'll leave the author ordering issue with you. Happy to test in the future if required. For now I'm importing one by one using BibTeX and the translator you just fixed! Thanks!

ajlyon - the updated BibTeX.js translator worked perfectly. Thanks.

I have posted a "suggestion" on the Mendeley feedback forum for DATE and PUBLISHER to be added to their COinS data. http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-mendeley-feedback/suggestions/2017115-coins-bookmarklets-in-mendeley-are-missing-date-a…

Edit: typed too slow - see above.

I grappled with this recently - http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/18614/duplicate-author-records-breaks-namedate-style/ If you are seeing "initials appearing next to last names, in styles where only last names are expected." Then I agre…

*facepalm*

Setting the zotero "status bar icon" preference to "None" seems to do the trick also.

Agreed. I've contacted some journal editors that I've submitted manuscripts to for clarification (hopefully documented). I'm not expecting anyone to alter repository styles on my whim. The point of this thread was for me to understand where and w…

OK - I've worked out why I think this is broken. The document contains two citations Citation 1: Smith, J and Jones, C , 1989. Citation 2: Ross, L and Smith, John 2000. In the document text of these should be cited as (Smi…

Thanks Adam, fbennet. My grasp on the issues are tenuous and your clarification helps. I've tested again this morning on a clean document and confirm fbennet above is correct and name expansion didnt occur without a second variation of the au…

Thanks adam, I think this is solved. - hand entering a new ref works OK and looks good in word with italics displayed. - editing the BibTex to change & lt;i& gt; to worked also - the difference this time is I blew away the bibliography a…

Are italics for species names in titles supposed to work in Zotero 2.1.8? I'm importing from Springerlink - which is failing using the DOI importer so I'm using Springlerlink's "export citation" as BibTex feature to export the citation and open it …

Raising from the dead! - thats what happens when users search for previously posts! I'm using the retrieve metadata feature on a lot of PDFs at the moment and I have a lot that simply retrieve the wrong data...which is a PITA as there is no qui…

This feature is *almost* there already - if you put the cursor in your word document in the citation field and click on the "Zotero Edit Citation" button then the "Add/Edit Citation" dialog pops up with the current reference highlighted. How ab…

Agree with all the above re: title case on context menu. For the issue of multiple variants in the DB, when you click on a surname to edit it and begin typing you get a dropdown list of similar names from the DB as a shortcut from which to choo…

Not sure if this is related or not... using standalone 2.1a3 I have a Book authored by two organizations. The Authors are entered as the acronym for the organizations. Author 1 = "XXXX" Author 2 = "YYYY" If I export the citation …

Doh! Sorry - I found the translators directory in the *data* directory. I was looking in the program directory and when I couldnt find it I assumed the standalone was somehow different. *facepalm*

How to add this to standalone? I downloaded http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Wiley%20InterScience.js and saved it inside the translators.zip (as 310.js) in the Zotero standalone directory and updated translators.index by hand by…

I couldn't get this to work but I'm a hack. I futzed around with the preferences in Zotero_win32/xulrunner/defaults/pref/xulrunner.js and I tried dropping the zotfile-1.5.5-fx.xpi file into Zotero_win32 and also different subdirectories (as I did…

Just to clarify - when I said "Nobody wants to be locked into a proprietary storage model " I mean a model where the storage is not intuitive or useful once the framework that built it is taken away - proprietary isnt the right word. In effect…
-
Another vote for relative path and linking rather than storing as a default behaviour. IMO Zotero needs to get past the monolithic storage philosophy to grow. Nobody wants to be locked into a proprietary storage model as the risk when it comes tim…

Another vote - as a new user I was rather surprised this was not standard. I would rather not trust a third party to store my library so putting copies of all my documents into the zotero folders seems to be to be a rather illogical choice when yo…
