Your browser bookmarks should import properly into Zotero as a browser bookmarks file (.html), with nested folder correctly converted into nested collections.
-
I also don't see why we're being affected by the IFRAME here...
-
This actually sounds like "Scanner for Zotero", since Zandy doesn't have a button like "Enter an API key manually".
-
Making the dataserver installation more straightforward is a reasonable goal, and I still hope that one of the institutions experimenting with it will come out with comprehensive install instructions and a corresponding modified version of the Zoter…

Well, the menu item would be relatively straightforward to do as a plugin, if it comes down to it.
-
I agree that this would be a real help. The worst part of making related items is definitely the cumbersome process to do so. If the user selects three or more items, should they then all be related to one another?
-
Indeed: http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-mendeley-feedback/suggestions/985703-pdf-annotations-should-be-compatible-with-other-pd?ref=title But annotation is important, and this is nonetheless an area where Zotero is somewhat behind the othe…
-
There are long-term plans to use LiberTexto for annotation (http://www.libertexto.org/), if the project proves sufficiently powerful and stable. Mendeley took the easy route, open only to for-profit firms: they licensed the commercial PDF manipulati…

Yes -- line.replace is the standard RIS-is-broken error. I'll wait for word on OCLC before tackling this, in case there is a common cause.
-
The proxy handling in OCLC and EEBO looks pretty standard, so I'd expect a lot more to be broken if this were a general proxy issue. The debug output from OCLC should expose a proxy issue if that's what's going on.
-
See http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues It works for me. Do any other EEBO items work for you? Dan: Can you post the error message that's showing?
-
I'm working blind, but: Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/oclc-nomatch/ and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). Then enable debug output (http://w…

That thread would seem to indicate that there's nothing stopping us from adding DOC, ODT, ODF, etc. support. Adding ODT/DOCX support would be fairly straightforward to add, to judge from the code-diving I did last spring to investigate plugins that …
-
Probably worth it, if we can cover DOC and ODT with a single executable. Antiword was discussed at one point, but I don't remember why we decided it couldn't be used for Zotero's indexing.
-
Glad this worked for you!
-
I think that the XeTeX engine is relatively Unicode-safe, but my experience is limited and fairly dated at this point.
-
I see your point on the semitrans characters, but vanilla BibTeX is still our primary target-- hopefully we can point people to those lines and have them uncomment them when issues arise. As something of an aside, is it still not possible to handle…
-
Note as well that the Zotero.org storage does use compression-- people usually find that they need a good deal less online storage than the size of the storage directory might suggest. Many of the extraneous files can be avoided by using an ad-bloc…
-
I've added this to the issue tracker for translators, and I hope to tackle it once we sort out an issue that just came up today with BibTeX import. Follow it here, if you like: https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues/39
-
Mappings fixed.
-
I don't know the numbers, but it sure seems like spam accounts are on the rise. Perhaps we could add a new verification system? A particularly appropriate one would be to identify a piece of a citation-- give a citation in randomly-selected citatio…
-
There has been an ongoing problem with spam accounts, which the admins have generally managed to delete promptly. This is the first I've heard of such offensive user pictures; I can say that they are not a problem in general, but rather a disturbing…
-
I was surprised to see that as well-- Zotero is running its import detection on it, not, as I would have expected, the web detection. My guess is that this is essentially so you can drop BibTeX files onto a running Firefox or Zotero instance and get…
-
We can tighten detection if we require that each imported file includes at least one entry with a Zotero-recognized type: book, inbook, incollection, article, phdthesis, unpublished, inproceedings, conference, techreport, booklet, manual, mastersthe…
-
Right. I'll fix the mappings and put up a new version. I won't aim to land this on the main repository until the detection / crash issue on viewing PDFs is taken care of, but I think we're just about there, although it would be good if romanov-umich…
-
Hmm. Can you send me the PDF in question?
-
1 and 3 fixed. The macroned I change was requested by romanov-umich-- apparently to remove the dot before adding the macron. Should a different approach be taken here?
-
Try http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/BibTeX.js
-
Debug is probably error output-- try firefox 2> file
-
Can you reproduce this and provide debug output (probably using realtime output and redirecting it to a file: http://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output#real-time_debug_output)? That should let us know when the translator is being called, and on wha…
