FWIW, in this context, I just wanted to mention cffinit, in case it helps in any way: https://citation-file-format.github.io/cff-initializer-javascript/ (It does not resolve the question of what to do about the fact that CFF currently only defines …

Thumbs up emoji!

@adamsmith: thanks for your reply. Just to clarify, the "as such" part of that statement refers to programmer? (Meaning, the suggestion is to label the manual author as "programmer" in the Zotero "Software" item type, because the CSL won't make a di…

I have a question regarding the recommendation to cite software manuals as "software". When I use that item type in Zotero, the options for the author label are "Programmer" and "Contributor". Sometimes the author of a user manual is not actually on…

Ah, okay. Thank you!

I bumped into this issue today in version 6.0.30 while trying to save (what else) an online event recording that has no equivalent to "Director". Did the change discussed above (addition of a "Creator" option for video recordings) ever get implement…

I'm in the same boat with needing to keep some items in multiple shared libraries, and occasionally having to reconcile differences when one copy of an item is updated. Is there any tool that would let you merge differences between copies of a singl…

@stenti1 Thank you for explain what you did! What you wrote is extremely useful for me to know, because now I see another way that the instructions are confusing and this helps me know what to change. It's great news that you were able to make it w…

@stenti1 Can you tell me the method you used to install it in the first place (since there are different options for Zowie)? And also, what is the version of your macOS operation system? Regarding API keys: I didn't realize it was so confusing or I…

I don't mean to be annoying, but I just want to voice my support for this feature. I store information in another application (DEVONthink) and use zotero:// links. Being able to jump to entries in Zotero directly would be a useful bit of integration!
-
Thanks, especially for the link to the open issue on GitHub. It sounds like Zotero may have a way of creating new records from PDFs in the future. I've also tried to automate the drag-and-drop process using Keyboard Maestro, but have not been succe…

Thank you for the kind words about Zowie! I wanted to mention that I recently wrote up some notes about how I use Zotero in conjunction with DEVONthink, with the help of Zowie. They are at https://github.com/mhucka/zowie/wiki

@nccomfort I've (finally) written up some notes about how I use Zotero in conjunction with DEVONthink. They are at https://github.com/mhucka/zowie/wiki . This might help answer the first question. To answer the second question: I personally prefer …

In case anyone is interested, I've released a new version of Zowie (1.2.0) that fixes a software compatibility issue, adds a new feature that will be of interest to DEVONthink users, has faster startup time, and comes with single-file self-contained…

@bwiernik Thanks for that excellent summary!
-
Oh! I didn't know that. Thanks!

Came here to ask what to do about DOIs for presentations. Good to know they will be introduced in a future revision of Zotero. Thanks!

@danieltomasz With respect to to "in case of Dropbox folder Zowie was unable to retrieve Zotero records for pdfs" (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/373730/#Comment_373730), yeah, if you use linked attachments and store them somewhere els…
-
@danieltomasz Yes. I actually use Zotfile myself. Note, however, that Zowie does not internally implement a file-watching scheme, so you'll have to handle running Zowie after additions are made to your Zotero library. Some people use Hazel to do it …
-
Oh! Yes I do :-). Thanks for pointing this out. I forgot all about it and it's actually something I don't even use. Sure enough, turning it off and restarting Zotero has stopped this behavior. Thanks again!

Regarding the direction from DEVONthink to Zotero: I'm sorry to say I've only worked on the Zotero to DEVONthink direction. My approach to using the two has been to put papers always in Zotero first, and use Zotero only to manage the bibliographic d…

Apropos this topic, which I only now discovered, I wanted to mention a utility program I wrote to help with Zotero-DEVONthink interaction. It's described in this forum posting: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/86578/a-new-tool-to-write-zotero-se…

@rpallred Thanks for the detailed reply, and my apologies for taking so long to acknowledge it.
-
Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. I'll document this as a limitation in Zowie, and will also try to find a way to detect the situation and tell users at run-time.
-
I have used this excellent feature ("the folder containing the PDF is named after the attachment key") to implement Zowie [1], a tool that looks through the PDFs of a local Zotero database and writes Zotero select links into file metadata. This is w…

That's great to hear! Thanks for the note. I'm really surprised you could run the binary, though; on my test system, macOS refused to let me run it after downloading from GitHub. Have you done anything to change security settings in your macOS ins…

Thank you for this info. I haven't had time to try the alternatives but very much appreciate your reply.

Thank you for the super-fast reply!

Thanks for the info!
