My Library shows every item that you have in any collection, except for the trash. This is by design. To get the behavior you're looking for, you can make sure to add new items to a processing queue-- I usually add to a collection called "Temporary"…

See the discussion at here for instructions on how to create links to Zotero items (see the bottom of the thread), and how to make your operating system open Firefox for zotero:// links. Unfortunately, there is not yet a nice, easy way to get the it…

Martin: Would one of these dissertations be cited differently from a book? The Swedish catalog shows those theses as having all of the normal publication data that we'd expect from a book (and more than we find for many books!). Can you provide an e…

I know that here and elsewhere, the idea of creating a blank parent item for PDFs when metadata lookup fails was presented. Now (2.0 final) we can create a blank parent for all attachment files except PDF files. Is there a reason that this can't hap…

fbennett: That's certainly an odd display issue, but the original poster wrote about columns extending off the bottom of the screen. I can't seem to reproduce that kind of issue, although I also see the behavior you describe with the right edge of t…

I know that you don't want to have to go this route, but this really sounds like an incompatible extension. If you haven't already, check the list of incompatible extensions, but you're probably best-off disabling all extensions, seeing if Zotero wo…

I'm also a fan of Wil's idea for a "Libraries" supercategory-- it seems like a very clean fix to the issue raised here. I also think that it moves in the right direction-- towards the full functional equivalence of local and remote resources, person…

It seems that you can even do this without opening the HTML editor, using these steps: 1. Save your image as an item attachment in Zotero. 2. Double-click on the attachment from within Zotero. The image will show up in your browser window. 3. Open t…
-
Even better, you can drag and drop the graphs onto the parent item. Then open the attached image and copy its zotero:// link. You can then add the image by adding something like this to the HTML code (click on the HTML icon, insert this, and click "…

That page saves for me. Did you add a title that wasn't there before? It's possible that saving of untitled items will currently fail. That's not my library or item, and it still doesn't save for me (Firefox 3.6, Windows XP, Zotero dev builds). The …

indilynx: I think you're correct. If you look at debug output, you'll see that Zotero can't switch libraries while syncing; this means that it can't change views as you'd expect. This explains some little annoyances involving search, related items, …

This error still persists. (2)(+0000789): Translate: 'repository' field is now 'libraryCatalog'; please fix your code (2)(+0000000): Translate: Translation using zotero.org failed: thrown exception => item has no title url => http://www.zote…

Bump. Is this something that could still happen? Is there anything I could do to help this happen?
-
I've made the switch (Windows XP, Firefox 3.6, Zotero dev builds) and it's fine. Search the forums if you're unsure, but I don't remember there being any issues specific to OO.org 3.2. Notably, I find that 3.2 is much more responsive and pleasant t…

The Google cache of the site is still live. Hope it helps!

Perhaps not surprisingly, I had merged Dan Cohen and Dan Stillman in my mind into a single Dan Zotero. Despite running into both surnames, I certainly never thought of them as distinct people. Maybe Zotero needs more staff photos?
-
but it might still be a good idea to check back with them on this? I hope you're right. This sounds like a job for something akin to Mozilla's evangelism team. Is there someone visible in the Zotero world (Dan? Bruce?) who might send a message to th…
-
The Google help article that is linked from that page says automated queries are against Google's terms of service, so are we breaking the rules Zotero only sends queries when users ask for specific searches, usually only a few PDFs at a time. It is…

I can partially confirm Heckscher's report. The behavior is that when you make Zotero fullscreen, it sets the title to "Zotero", as you'd expect. If you then open a new tab (Ctrl-T), the tab opens behind the Zotero window as expected, and the title …
-
I agree that Zotero shouldn't cause errors to show up unless there truly are errors. It does matter, however, whether these are limited to when you load local files; if it happens in normal web browsing, then that's a much more concerning probl…
-
As I noted when you first posted this, the error completely harmless and arises because Zotero is parsing the page as pure XML, in which you'd need a close tag for . Can you post URLs of actual, real webpages that have "issues"? Plenty of pages wi…
-
However, if the styles are not present on all machines, when I try to edit a reference I am first prompted for a style and of course my document is re-formatted. Could Zotero prompt to install the style from the repository? This would cover most com…

My thinking is that if a person uses small notes, then they probably don't need to search within notes very often. It they use large notes, then perhaps they would be satisfied with searching within notes being limited to when the note is displayed …
-
(side question: how do I quote comments in this forum?) Use the tags around the text you want to quote, then select "Format comments as Html".
-
I also find myself wishing that I could search the text of the note I currently have open. Perhaps there could be a note editor interface that opened a note in the main viewport of Firefox, like the Report or Timeline views? Such a view could take a…

I'm not sure what would cause what you were seeing. If you can find a page that does that consistently, post it here. Glad to hear that this seems to have cleared itself up.
-
Also, please post other URLs that cause this behavior-- I would expect this to be site-specific, so it's particularly odd if it happens everywhere. Does it happen if you try to take a snapshot of a YouTube page? How about the Zotero homepage (which …
-
I'm not sure what could cause the difference. I'm using the latest dev build under Windows Vista and Firefox 3.6; perhaps this is caused by the Flip4Mac plugin used for showing Windows Media video on Snow Leopard? Can you post part of the "raw code…
-
I don't see any problems with that snapshot-- there is a blank spot where the video was, but otherwise it looks fine. What version of Zotero and Firefox are you using, and what operating system are you running?
-
Can you give the URL for one such site? It's hard to say what's causing this without seeing what site triggers it.
