You can install a local copy of the server, and confidentiality is a good reason for doing so. There is some discussion on how to do this on the Zotero-dev mailing list, so this is probably the best starting point. http://groups.google.com/group/…

It would not work like that. The SQLite database used by Zotero does not support multiple users using the same database file. The way to have a shared Zotero DB is that each user has their own copy of the database and then Zotero server is used for …

My Chicago manual of style is a the office, so I cannot check, but I believe that Zotero formats the citation accordingly what the manual specifies. If Chicago style is not what you want, you probably should try another style instead. If the style …

I have not used scrivener, but if it can use extensions, it should not be difficult to port the Zotero word processor plugins to that platform. One way for a non-programmer to increase the chance that someone will pick this up is to make it as ea…
-
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask. How does this question relate to the Zotero reference management software? Also, if the question is related to Zotero, you need to be more specific. Like what kind of data do you need and how would yo…

30) In the QuickFormat dialog, clicking an item bubble produces a small popup that shows the item details. This popup should also show the name of the library from which the item is below the citation information for the item This would help troubl…

The easiest way is to purchase more storage. Also you can sync the storage folder with dropbox, or some other file synchronization tool.
-
There is a hidden preference called recursiveCollections that allows you to do just that. See http://www.zotero.org/support/hidden_prefs
-
There is an upcoming feature called preferred collection which automatically adds all inserted references into a chosen collection. Once that is available, you can use the advanced search to find items that are included in your collection and not i…

Yes. Same applies to every document format, even PDF. They are not opened by Zotero, but a third party software or third party browser plugin.
-
What I think happens here is that because the file does not have the .pdf file name extension, it is not recognized as a PDF file by the operating system. I think that Mac stores the mime type for the downloaded file so that it knows how to open it,…

This is not currently possible. So the idea would be that the notes are not attached to items, but to collections instead?
-
Ah, that makes sense. iPhone version should not be too difficult to make after the iPad version is ready, so I will probably do that as well.
-
I would not like to use Zotero with an iPhone, but if there is a need for this, it would not be difficult to make the ZotPad iPhone compatible.
-
It seems that Google Groups does not accept my post for some reason, so here are some additional details on this project. I plan this to be a PDF reading and annotation tool, which will sync with the Zotero server. All libraries will be read only (…
-
Such software probably does not exists. However, if you change the location of the Zotero data directory from Firefox profile to your documents folder, you can use Spotlight to quickly locate any PDF and achieve the same functionality.
-
Can you see the items when you click "My library" on this web page. Also, did you sync the other computer as well?
-
What happes when you click on the sync arrow? Does it start spinning?
-
You need to have one account only and use it in both computers. Make sure that you have entered this in the preferences in both computers and then click the sync arrow. If that does not work, you need to explain what happens instead (e.g. is there a…

How do you know that "it fails"? Is there an error message? Zotero does not have a feature for saving, so it is not clear to me what you are trying to do. Have you looked at the tutorial videos to see how it is supposed to work?
-
Please do not start multiple threads about the same problem. If you want to have help, you need to be more specific about what your problem is.
-
Very good idea and probably not difficult at all to implement I created an issue at github for this https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/12
-
The comment says that it is looking for PDF files, but in the actual code the type of the file does not matter. The code will delete the files that are orphaned and will leave the other files where they are.
-
Hechsher: How you use it depends on your operating system. You can download the script at https://github.com/mronkko/ZoteroCleanOrphans/raw/master/ZoteroCleanOrphanedFiles.pl Then you need to open that in a text editor and change the line number …

In my case, the problem with excluding parentheses in the citation would mean that these would need to be manually added to the document. This is not a problem as long as I am using a style with parentheses. If I switched to a style with brackets, I…
-
I see the point, but this would make it really hard switch between citation styles that use numbers in brackets and styles that use names in parentheses. (I have had to do this as well at least once)

Here is a solution using perl. Comes with absolutely no warranty. #!/usr/bin/perl use DBI; use File::Path; # Update this to match your data directory my $zoterostorage="/Users/mronkko/Documents/Research/Zotero"; my $zoterostoragefiles="$zoterost…

Ah, correct. I can indeed get the toolbar to show by choosing View -> Toolbars.
-
I have submitted a paper to EJIS using Zotero and probably have a style for it. EDIT: I submitted a paper using Organization Science style, which was probably fairly similar. The paper was eventually not accepted, but noone complained about using t…

There is no toolbar in Mac version and no zotero.dot file. Zotero functions are available through the script menu.
