Whoops, seems fine. Perhaps I was doing something odd.
-
Bruce: ah, right. That's clear enough. Links to database records shouldn't go in the URL field at all. The field is actually for 'the URL to this item.' Does this mean that a link to a JSTOR pdf (which is, say, a scanned copy of a paper article)…
-
I don't add new collections often, and have never had to change my "unfiled" search, so it's not been an inconvenience to me (though setting up a saved search for 'untagged' items is still a minor carnival act, see link below), but you're right. It…

By the way, this does work.
-
You link notes to their bibliographic source by making them children of that source. Add the note from the 'notes' tab of the source, or drag them onto the source's database listing. What you can't to is create an automatic link from part of your …

"The relevant URL should be included by default." Yes, but only if that is the version consulted. I'm mainly talking about two use cases: 1. The metadata is from an online database like EBSCO, and the URL for the database entry is imported int…
-
Very good. Thanks.
-
For that you can use saved searches. Use the advanced search tool, Select: "tags" contains "yourtag." Then select 'saved search.' It's actually far more flexible even then your suggestion, since you can makes saved searches for all kinds of thing…
-
Again on the topic of URLs in bibliographic info for print -based materials: (1) They are nice to have in your metatda, since you can use Zotero's view button to get quickly to whatever the URL points to: a database record (possibly with fulltext)…

erazlogo: Very good. Bruce: another vote for CMS long footnotes WITH bibliography. That's what I'm using.
-
It might be helpful to the devs to know your OS. I can't replicate (3) on XP. (And what do you mean by 'X window'?) Does (3) go away if you lower the height of your tag selector? or if you SHIFT-CTRL-T remove the tag selector all the way. Zoter…
-
yes, eng, you've got it right, with the following important caveat: Since Zotero stores its data (as opposed to the attachment files) all in a single database file, you can't actually *merge* the contents of two Zotero sessions on two different com…
-
Hmm, I can't reproduce this problem on FF 2.0.0.6/Zotero 1.0.0rc3.
-
Better. (and free)

Rip. Burn. Share. Play.

erazlogo: thanks. bruce: (re: naming from the CSL title element). Right. That makes sense now. It seems the goal for a style browser should be something that lets users search for CSL styles by name (if they know what they want) or browse, (fo…
-
Right, One would think a personal reference scheme would be the functional equivalent of the element now called "Call No.," And then it would be saved as proper (user-specific) data, and not unique to a particular database instance. Anyway, I'v…
-
This is not precisely the same thing, but might even be more useful, since you can get that PDF attached to *any* top-level entry visible in the Zotero pane, not just the last one. Just drag the link and drop it. I didn't know this worked until I w…
-
It's a good question. Maybe at some point the details of the supported sites list should be expanded to a chart. It could say for any given site whether it supports: 1. Automatic import of single records from the site 2. Lists of records 3. User…
-
Same problem here. Snapshots (and multi-selections including snapshots) resist dragging (the little 'copy rectangle' never appears, and the just don't copy). Seems to happen more with larger multi-selects. No problem with other item types. Using Z…
-
I read back over my old post about the naming of the Chicago styles in zotero. (in which I mixed up the outputs of the last two styles, which I called (B) and (C).) There are two sources of confusion about these style names, it seems to me. The …
-
No problems here with 1.0.0rc3 on XP. How are you trying to save it? If you try to take a web snapshot it doesn't import the PDF, but only, well, a web snapshot. If you import the bibliographic info by clicking the 'article' icon in the URL bar…
-
A brief note to say that I second the general problem. I too need to be able to do multilingual footnotes, and am using Zotero for my thesis bibliography. RE: Fonts. I second clip's judgment about fonts. Even in a Unicode world, we will have t…
-
The current windows version of the Zotero toolbar is for Word 2003, I'm afraid. None is available yet for Word 2007, unless I'm misinformed. (And the file format is different, so I understand that porting will take a little bit of work.) The only…
-
I have no strong preference, but a few remarks. Thanks, for pushing this discussion forward! 1. In any case, brief instruction in the differences between citation-in-a-note and citation-as-a-note has to be part of user instruction (induction) int…
-
I'm not sure that would solve the problem, since zotero initializes its database the first time it is opened in a new firefox session (presumably to avoid lengthening firefox's own startup time by doing it at every ff start). It would have to do th…
-
And you normally need to take some care that any Zotero versions which access the data are the same version. Ideally this should work out OK, since any instance of Zotero which has access to the gmail share would normally also keep itself up to dat…
-
The order may well be different in WorldCat from the non-working sites you mentioned, but that's not the cause, of their different ability to import, nor is the language of the page. See the above comments by Dan and noksagt. What might help is …
-
Of course you can simplify the tag process by only using a 'read' tag (or since that's ambiguous, I use an 'already_read' tag.) Things are then unread by default, which makes sense. If you want to see what doesn't have the tag, create a saved searc…

The problem with 'correcting' capitalization that late in the process is that you can't check it before it goes into your document. It's true that if different styles have different rules, then those rules should be implemented (as well as possible…
