• I mean this: When I cite an item outside the preferred collection (using the classic view), Zotero would add this item to the preferred collection. If the item did not already exist in the preferred library, it would be copied there to make this pos…

• What makes you say that? An error during merging of duplicates should cause the entire operation to fail. Moved the log to http://codepad.org/f9xd7NVA to get line numbers. On line 1558 and forwards Zotero tries to do a database operation to mark the…

• If the default save location mean a default location where the imported items go, the answer would be no. This would not affect Zotero in any other way expect by automatically assigning the references that are used in a document to a particular libr…

• I thought about this, but to my understanding Zotero does not store previous versions of the documents. And if it does, these are not easily accessible from the user interface. In my opinion, Zotero would just an additional an unnecessary layer: Why…

  in Does anyone else use Zotero to backup and sync their private documents? Comment by mronkko August 30, 2011
• Sharing PDFs and synchronizing citation data are related because the solution to these issues is currently (Zotero 2.*) the same: group libraries. I do not see how the suggestion in your post this could be implemented as a plugin to Zotero. It woul…

• I am running Zotero from the SVN (revision 10319) and noted the following issues: 1) The items that are duplicate and have an attachment have the small collapse-expand triangle, but clicking on this triangle does not expand the item. 2) If both i…

  in [3.0b1] duplicate detection Comment by mronkko August 29, 2011
• With very good duplicate handling and automatic import to libraries would address most of the metadata problems. It might be possible to design use cases where this was not the optimal way, but for general use it probably would be a good solution. …

• Zotero works by having a collection of translators that read data from web pages. Apparently, there is no translator for the Zotero site. If you want to test that the connector works, do a search on Google Scholar. It should detect articles and sho…

• It took a while to discover, but the behavior of FF can be reset by going to Preferences -> Applications and then changing "Portable Document Format" to "Always ask" It would be nice if this preference could be changed from the Zotero settings d…

  in Zotero does not warn about missing PDF tools when attempting to retrieve metadata in download dialog Comment by mronkko August 29, 2011
• In my opinion, it should not make a difference where the data comes from either. I agree that in an ideal case, if I cite an item, that item should be available to my coauthors as well. This would include the ability to easily edit the item and to v…

• The URIs are not a perfect solution because the items in the different libraries are not necessarily copies, but can be different imports. Also if you have a document with a large number of references, checking that each one of them exists in the gr…

• Simon can confirm, but I believe the latest version of Zotero and the plugins automatically include URIs for all inter-library-linked items in documents, so I'm not sure this is even much of a problem. And with embedded metadata support in 3.0, it's…

• I gave this a little bit of though and at least for me there is a use case for using several libraries in a single document. For example, we have a group library that contais articles about research method and articles that are quite general to our …

• In my books, disabling syncing would be just a small added bonus. Restricting the word processor plugin is the main deal here.
