Check out this screencasting. It shows how to manually add items, but editing is very similar: http://www.zotero.org/support/screencast_tutorials/manually_creating_items
-
This is a bug in the beta build of ZotPad and it has been now fixed in the development version.

You should check if he can download the files using Dropbox website. Tell him to go to https://www.dropbox.com/home and then search for one of the files that he cannot open. The way Dropbox works is that if you share a folder wit…

No. There is just one copy of each item, but it can be associated with many collections. Consider a boy that belongs to a school class, a boy scout group, and a family. You would not say that the boy in school class or the boy in the boy scout …

obsrvng_obsrvrs: You can create symbolic links to recreate the folder structure from oner computer on the other. Then this would leave you with only the problem of keeping the two computers in sync. I would recommend using stored files instead…

You need to make several calls (GET and POST) to create notes. You also need some kind of HTTP library to make the calls. 1) First you would need to do a GET request to get a template for a new item. This is returned as JSON, so you need a pa…

On-demand downloads are planned for the next major release of Zotero.
-
This is very unlike to happen for many reasons: 1) There is no reason not to backup your entire use profile which will cover Zotero as well. 2) Zotero storage provides an option for off-site backups already. 3) The user guide that you point to expla…

Your argument is the following: I add an MP3 into my music library in a playlist A. Then I drag it into another playlist B. Then I remove it from playlist A. The MP3 still exists in playlist B, so therefore it must be a duplicate. Items ex…

If you need a refund, you can request it from Apple directly. Apple does not provide an option for developers to issue refund directly. You can read more about it e.g. here: http://gizmodo.com/5886683/how-to-get-a-refund-from-the-app-store …

You cannot be absolutely certain about it with any web service. But there are no plans to change these URLs. What you can do is store the pages as static HTML and then store them somewhere that you believe is persistent. However, I would perso…

Delete the bibliography and insert it again.
-
I might give it a shot at some point.
-
This may happen if there is a coder who is interested in making it happen http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/27253/make-locale-a-document-level-setting/#Item_9
-
You need to delete the trash in the group after deleting the items there. Then you can drag and drop again. (This will probably be changed in a later version of Zotero because it is confusing)
-
The libraries are separate. When you drag an item from one to another, it creates an independent copy of the item and all its children. Currently syncing items between groups is not supported.
-
I would have locale as a dropdown in the document preferences window in the Zotero word processor plugin. Default value set to Zotero locale or style locale if a style defines a default locale. I do no think that it is technically possible to d…
-
Well, I would probably just make it available for everyone as a default setting. Hidden prefs are difficult to find for a casual user.
-
One extra settings adds complexity for those who always work with the same locale, but other than that I do not see much downsides.
-
I may be missing something here, but is the issue really that complex? The Finnish localization does not work properly because the data part order is hard coded for the "accessed" variable on lines 137-141 in the APA csl file. …
-
I cannot remember from the top of my head how to do this and it may depend on the word version, but google provides a lot of instructions on how to adjust the shortcuts http://www.google.com/?q=word change keyboard shortcuts
-
Can you provide a link to a style guide that requires this?
-
Add attachment button exists already, so you need to be more specific. Opening attachment can be done by double clicking it or pressing enter, so I do not understand why additional button would be helpful.
-
As far as I know, there are at least five possible workflows/setups that you can use. (And at least two more that you should not use.) I wrote an article about these on the ZotPad website: http://zotpad.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/156216-…
-
This has been changed. Use left and right arrows to collapse and expand items.

I sometimes work with people that use Endnote, so in the end of the writing process with a a document where there are both Zotero and Endnote citations. Changing the Endnote citations to Zotero citations does not actually take that very long once yo…
-
the order of date parts can be defined individually for every language. Yes. The localization file for Finnish defines this correctly. However, as I pointed out above, the order is hard-coded in the APA style. Therefore, the citations will be inco…
-
Unfortunately there is no way to automate this. You need to change each one manually.
-
Note that the fixes in the date localization make only sense if the date order is fixed to day month year. Otherwise the existing is better. (It is incorrect, but less incorrect than the new version)
