• Dan, It was indeed a quota issue. All is well now. Thanks for reminding me of the obvious reason this might not work. Avram

• Thunderbird appears to just use the first-assigned tag's color. If you unassign the first one, the second color takes over. In that case we'd want there to be a way to re-order tags, but maybe a first implementation could take this simple approach. …

  in simple marking of items? Comment by ajlyon November 13, 2009
• If colors are associated with some or all tags, what should an item look like if it has multiple such tags? Requiring there to be first-order (color-determining, mutually exclusive) and second-order (not color-determining, not mutually exclusive) ta…

• The most common solution, and what I do, is to right-click on the entry for the larger book and make a duplicate entry, then I change the new entry into the Book Section type cut-and-paste the title into the Book Title section and clear the Short Ti…

  in How to avoid manually inputting data for book sections...? Comment by ajlyon November 11, 2009
• Dan and Adam: Thanks for the shift-click hint-- that's something I hadn't tried, although I'm not sure that it should be default behavior for full-screen mode. On my little netbook, I sometimes am in full-screen mode solely because anything smalle…

  in Feature Request: Stand Alone Zotero Comment by ajlyon November 9, 2009
• For those who would like to keep a Firefox window open with full-screen Zotero, a nice feature would be the ability to have links (say, "View Snapshot") open in a new window; Ctrl-click opens in a new tab, but the user would still need to leave full…

  in Feature Request: Stand Alone Zotero Comment by ajlyon November 9, 2009
• First of all, you will need to make items in Zotero for each of the sources you will be citing; it appears that you have added the PDFs to your Zotero library, but you have not created items that they should be associated with. The easiest solu…

  in Manually editing PDFs in bibliography--resets to 1? Comment by ajlyon November 8, 2009
• Thanks for the detailed advice. I've made my first post, proposing the ALA-LC romanization that dominates in English-language Slavics (at the very least, French and German have distinct romanizations). Judging from my reading of the list archives, t…

• I'd like to make sure that proper latinizations of my non-Latin research languages, specifically Russian and Tatar, can be used when Zotero starts using this aspect of the new processor. Is it important to attempt to register such transliteration sy…

• I've posted a function that handles ISBN validation to the ticket in Trac. I'm not sure of what exactly I would add such code to in a patch, so I just made a standalone function for now.

• Can anyone shed light on this? Is there a way to have Zotero use the MARC holdings record?

  in Call numbers in Voyager Comment by ajlyon November 1, 2009
• From looking a little at other Voyager systems, this issue appears to affect all Voyager-based catalogs-- Zotero uses the MARC bibliographic record to pull call numbers, rather than the associated MARC holdings records. This causes problems whenever…

  in Call numbers in Voyager Comment by ajlyon October 27, 2009
• While the user interface for this might be a little difficult, this should be algorithmically easy. I could probably do the JavaScript for something like this-- would it be a worthwhile contribution? Is this something that the Zotero team would…

• It's working again. If it comes back, maybe I can determine what's causing it.

  in Imported records not added to current collection Comment by ajlyon September 27, 2009
• Is this still on its way? I have a computer-hobby background, and I'd love to test and tweak this promising development if there's something to build on. Most of my work is in Slavic and Turkic, and I'm running into the same messes as the Japanese/C…

• Now my sync is working fine-- I don't know what the issue was, but it was apparently fleeting.

• To add on to the rationale presented by datadiwan, a formal way of representing specific persons is useful as way of disambiguating data; it would allow me to distinguish between authors (and other bibliographically relevant people), even if they ha…

  in New reference type/item: PERSON (with addresses/contact data) Comment by ajlyon September 10, 2009
• After upgrading to Zotero 2.0b5, this plugin stopped working reliably for me. Now it sometimes tells me that it can't find Firefox and it refuses altogether to let me edit a bibliography (i.e., add more citations w/o inserting them in the document t…

• Perhaps a different issue, but still Informaworld-- when I try to download the citation for http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a790191184~db=all, Firefox crashes every time. I am able to download the citation in EndNote format and impo…
