Regarding 3: No, Zandy will not recognize the file if using Zotfile to send it. And regarding 4, I don't believe either has been updated. I'm sitting down today to do some long-overdue work on Zandy, but I don't know how soon a new feature of this …

Dan Stillman and Simon Kornblith are the lead developers of Zotero (http://www.zotero.org/about/). Both read the forums here and contribute where appropriate.

Right-- sorry about that. I wasn't sure whether that was you. I realize that the change is small, but making that change would help move the process along. Changes like this help show that the patch author is responsive and ready to shepherd the pat…
-
This patch was looked at --- Simon gave some feedback two months ago and the patch author hasn't yet made his promised changes. Once that patch comes in, we can assume that Dan will look as well and perhaps the patch will land.

I like it! I think the Fugue collection should be fine; the license is certainly compatible.
-
Just FYI -- the bug on Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542306) has been closed as presumed fixed; is this problem persisting for you?
-
I think that requiring ISBN or the 978 prefix that marks ISBN-13 would be a decent start. If someone wants to take the context menu and run with it, I have a fairly rigorously tested ISBN validator in JS that can be plugged into it: https://github.c…
-
I did modify the DOI translator at one point to check for ISBNs as well (yes, including check digits), but was unhappy with the number of false positives. We would have to only do ISBN-13, which has a tolerably small number of false positives; if th…

That's a bit harder. You do know about the magic wand / identifier lookup in Zotero? http://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library#add_item_by_identifier
-
Can you provide a sample URL?
-
For 100% clarity, you can delete zotero.sqlite.1.bak and zotero.sqlite.73.bak, but not the others. (I'm a little uncomfortable with an unspecified "them"!)
-
Zotpress does most of this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/zotpress/ Footnotes themselves will need a different plugin, but Zotpress does most of the magic.
-
Not all of those are necessary -- you could probably delete zotero.sqlite.1.bak and zotero.sqlite.73.bak -- they are backups made during Zotero updates some time ago. You should keep zotero.sqlite.bak, which is the most recent automatic backup. The …
-
Are you on a Mac? Seems like something arising from HFS+ being case-insensitive. Not that Zotero couldn't special-case this, but it's a bit messier.
-
Red means that the errors are from a version older than the most recent. The asterisk, described in the hover text, means "Includes PDF metadata retrieval attempts". The vast majority of Google Scholar errors are from PDF lookups, not from ordinary…

Try it out-- the "M" in MLZ is really amazing once you start working with it.
-
I just noticed that Scrivener has a Linux version, so I might be moving to that world. If my current development commitments clear up a bit, maybe we'll see what can be done. But please don't hold your breath at all; I already have lots of Zandy use…
-
It's much less faithful, but the bookmark export also maintains the collection hierarchy.
-
Scaffold updated to include the latest framework code. Thanks, Erik. I've opened a pull request for updating the translators to the latest code (https://github.com/zotero/translators/pull/199).
-
Is this safe to roll into a new Scaffold build now?
-
But much of the work has already been done, and you can use this today with the Multilingual branch of Zotero: http://citationstylist.org/tools/?#mlz-client-entry I've used it as you describe quite successfully.
-
No, it seems to be just intermittent; probably flakiness on my side.
-
I'm the developer of Zandy, the Android app for Zotero, and unfortunately I don't anticipate supporting word processor integration in the near future. I do hope to add formatted citations (copy & paste) in the future, which might be a start. I'm…
-
For clarity, I've now removed the old release of Scaffold from the documentation, since Zotero 3.0 is out of beta.
-
Quite reasonably. rsobak: Can you provide an author guide or other such materials from a publisher with this as a documented, consistent deviation from the CMoS? We like to tie these variants down to specific institutions that require them, to prov…
-
If there's a publisher that doesn't want DOIs in the bibliography, then we can and should create a new style that does just that. If the publisher doesn't want DOIs, then they're not using the CMoS as written. That's fine, and that means we need a n…
-
No, no update. This still would be a pretty simple addition-- if you have any JavaScript hackers around, you may want to talk to them about trying to write this. I don't have the time now to do much new translator development, but the docs have pro…
-
Word on the street is that Endnote XML is a moving target, and even Endnote doesn't support it (as Jason discovered).
-
Zotero doesn't have a way of representing issues of journals, so the import fails. When Zotero gets a way of representing issues, this will hopefully work cleanly.

What are the export formats that Bookends supports?
