  • Porting this to playbook would be an effort comparable to implementing it from scratch. A clean implementation would be a better option. (I originally considered porting Zandy from Android to iPad, but decided that a separate implementation made mor…
  • This cannot be done with Zotero directly in an elegant way. Custom fields are a feature that might help you, but these have not been implemented and I do not know what the current plans for this are. One way to do this is to store this information …
  • Would it be possible to have this as a preference on a user level? For users that just post one question, it would be useful to by default receive notifications about all new posts. The people that post frequently could then adjust this by changing …
  • Why do you want to cite tags? There might be a workaround, but we would need to know more about your use case to help you.
  • ZotPad is very close to release, so changing at this time does not make any sense. This is a bit off topic, but I do not think that appaccelerator is the way to go at all for complex or data heavy apps. The problem is that it produces cross-compil…
  • What is the usecase for this? Would it be acceptable for you to just configure the library like you want and then reset Zotero to this state every time it is started?
  • In the current version there are still some bugs in the attachment downloading code introduces when I changed the cache prioritization rules for attachment downloading. Since you have the version compiled and running, you can be of help. The main …
  • I doubt that you can. A useful workaround is to move the cursor on the citation bubble and do: ctr+down, tab, tab, , enter Takes a second or two.
  • Both. The users will have full access to the library.
  • You need publish your PDF to a website that Zotero can translate. This can be accomplished e.g. by using COinS on your website. http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata/coins Then you need to get a DOI for your article that points to t…
  • There are no technical reasons why editing and adding items and notes would not be possible, and this is planned functionality. However, this will be not included in the first version. The reason is that if I implement all possible features in the f…
  • I am not going to implement any other cache preferences at this point because the software is close to release, and this would cause a delay. There will be more detailed cache options in later releases based on user feedback. Something that you sugg…
  • 2) Is that on the mac minimising a window adds it to the Dock. Most mac users try to limit the number of items on the dock because it doesn't really handle lots of items very well. This can be disabled in the dock preferences by setting "Minimize …
  • Just a quick update: Changing the software to use the new API functionality was a bit more work than I thought, but it is now done. I will have time to look at the code next time toward the end of the week and hopefully submit it to app store review…
  • 41) When I import an item, I get the small "Saving item..." dialog to the bottom right corner of the browser. This should be modified to be "Saving item to {LIBRARY NAME}...". The advantage of doing this would be that I would immediately notice if I…
  • If you are sure that it is a stray file, you can probably delete it. If the same stray file appears every time you import a particular item, then it is something that can be tracked down. Unfortunately just telling that you have a stray file does …
  • Does this happen systematically when you import PDFs or just for a particular item?
  • What is "LoC subject classification" and why would it be useful? Where would Zotero get the LoC subject classification for each item? Also, many people like to have their own filing system for articles (e.g. one collection for each paper, reading …
  • The version of pdftotxt that is included in Zotero 3 can find the DOIs on the example items. So the problem is not there but in Zotero code if these items are not recognized. t3080-la0003:Downloads mronkko$ ~/Documents/Research/Zotero/pdftotext-Mac…
  • I think that deleted notes go to trash as well, but I might be wrong about this. Worth checking anyway.
  • -There is nothing that Zotero can do for Word spell checking. I believe this can be disabled in Word options -This is changed in Zotero 3 with the QuickFormat dialog. You can view citation details easily . - Not a issue in the new QuickFormat dial…
  • This depends on the citation style that you use. For example APA style does not use ibid.
  • jamesstroud: Would the solution on the dev-list solve your problems better than the approach that Simon is presenting? If so, you can also try to cast your vote there. I am not sure if the developers follow all forum posts, but they definitely follo…
  • The feature is implemented, but not included in the main code. If it will be included is another question. You can follow the discussion here http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev/browse_thread/thread/34fb60cf0fdffeb5# If you want this featur…
  • Check the top menu in Word Word -> Preferences -> View -> Field shading
  • So you edit the items on the Zotero website, note the Zotero plugin? What do you mean by saying that a page crashes? What page exactly does not load? If you provide a bit more detailed description of your problem, it is easier to provide help.
  • I agree that this would be a very useful feature.
  • The new version of Zotero API that I referred to in an earlier post is now available. If everything goes smoothly with implementing that, I will submit the app to the appstore approval process at the end of the week.
  • The Zotero team is quite limited on resources, so they focus only on a few official plugins. If Scribus allows plugins and there is a third party developer who is interested in writing a small plugin, then this would be possible.
  • More detailed configuration options for what is cached and what is not will probably be implemented in future versions. In the first version, the cache works with the following rules: -Nothing is cached if the user uses the mode "Online, without c…
