Hmm, good question. There are no mechanisms in place for syncing of notes with handheld devices, so if anything were to develop, it would take, well, a developer to take it on (and perhaps something on the palm side as well). That said. Zotero se…

True, I discovered that after I posted. I expect that's by design, but I wouldn't mind if it were changed to work even with the Z window closed (much like the context menu Zotero items do).
-
The ability to add comments to notes is due in a coming version, which we eagerly await.
-
Notes don't really have titles. The heading that you see above your note text in Zotero's right pane is the title of the parent item. You can give the note to a new parent item, but you cannot edit that heading. Notes are listed in the item list …

Do clarify the last question for me as well (on the safety of manually editing automatic citation-notes). I also need to do manual editing at the moment (to add my own commentary to a citation or first-version information, etc.), but I have the imp…

Not to modify your request, but you do know that CTRL+ALT+O starts a new standalone note in a jiffy.

One thing you might try is installing some other small Firefox extension, to see if it is a problem on the Firefox end. It could be that there is something broken with your USB-FF-installation's handling of extensions. Report back.

but we can't select multiple records that do not follow each other in the list CTRL-click on PC and Linux already selects non-contiguous ranges in Zotero's center pane. Surely this is implemented on Mac as well.

Very good. Hopefully they'll be able to take care of the [ :] at the end of the place name and the [,] at the end of the publisher name at the same time.

Have you seen this thread? Quoted from Dan Stillman: Annotations do not work with PDF files, only HTML and image files. Since PDFs are loaded by plugins, we don't have any way of accessing the internal structure. Acrobat offers some built-in ann…

Ah, right. I was only dimly aware that these issues belonged to CSL, and that they were therefore a separate matter from the Zotero development. Any other opinions on the naming of the Chicago output styles?

I can confirm the (newly developed) EBSCO problem. Zotero's article icon appears, but clicking it gives Zotero's "Could not save item" error message. running: 1.0b4.r2.r1365 on FF 2.0.0.3, win XP.

This is indeed excellent news, both that attachment search context is easy and that notes context is possible.

I wouldn't like to speak for the developers, but it does appear that both of these are in the works. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/319/linking-to-openoffice/ And from the first post on this thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/536/ …

medievalkarl may not see this, but for anyone else who comes along: 1. The only way you can be sure of your work not dissappearing is to back it up yourself. Zotero does have online database functionality in the works, but even if it's carefully d…

No faust99, this is not a dumb question. Automatic insertion of citations into OOo is in the plan, and probably in the works, but not yet in the software. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/319/linking-to-openoffice/ http://forums.zotero.org/di…

Agreed. I have gotten this from other data sources as well. Proper auto-recapitalization is not without its complications, but a simple version of it might be worth doing at some point as a lower-priority feature. Of course Google could wise up a…

Collections syncing is one of the planned features for Zotero which is not currently implemented. This is functionality which we look forward to eagerly, but (according to what I gather from the forums and Zotero site) can't be expected before summ…

Could I re-raise this issue in a slightly more focused manner? There is a manager of a particularly useful library database for my discipline (Biblical Studies) which is so far not compatible with Zotero. It's apparently a homegrown OPAC of some s…

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Perhaps an "untagged" tag (or option within saved searches) would be a useful feature. It would help with the workflow step which begins, "Hmm, which of these new items did I forget to tag?"
-
A brief update: Zotero does seem to go after the 082* fields (which are supposed to hold Dewy classification info) if there are no 050* (LoC) fields listed in the record. This gets me closer, but not exactly spot-on. For example given the follwin…

You gotta hand it to people like Andrew who just dive in and tell us all what they find--all in about 3 days. (And even more to the developers who seem able to act on such input so constructively and quickly). Seems like a very reasonable feature …
-
Yes, it's not immediately obvious as a UI feature, but it is a pretty good way of basically allowing an unlimited number of contributors of whatever type you like (2 translators, a few editors and an author or 12).
-
Click the little down arrow to the left of the "Author:" field name when creating or editing the Info for conference paper (or any record type). You'll see that you can change "Author" to "Editor/Contributor/Translator/etc." Add Editors or other cr…

I don't think anyone intends Zotero to be a bibliographic tool to the exclusion of its other functions. I for one hope that note taking in particular is an area where Zotero continues to develop, including rich text notes (of some sort), good searc…

To find your resolver address, try this: search for something on Google Scholar scholar.google.com If you can find any articles that say "Fulltext@NameOfYourUniversity," click that link. In my case it was a link to the SFX server which provides t…

for: Aberdeen University (Scotland) I have a working resolver by putting this in zotero's 'resolver' field: http://aulib2.abdn.ac.uk:9003/sfx_local using 'version 1.0'

(1) I get the problem as well. It seems like it is a COinS problem. Here's a snippet from a sample entry (the first one listed in a search for 'bovon'): rft.au=Bovon,+Franc¸ois.+creator& rft.place=Gene`ve+:& rft.pub=Labor+et+Fides,& r…

Wild thanks.

A little more information on the problem: The University OPAC is an Aleph 500, not using COinS. EBSCO also doesn't use COinS, so I assume both are scraped. It seems that even when COinS are provided, Zotero does not import the "Series" field…
