I get the correct icon and a working import. Is this consistent? Just for that one page?
-
Yes. Close Firefox. Delete the Zotero data directory. Open the Endnote export file and put about 1/3 of it in a new file. Open Firefox, import that 1/3 of the library. Make sure everything is working fine. Repeat with the next piece. There are somet…

You can do this by online synchronisation without needing any cloud/WebDAV storage-- simply set them all to sync to a single Zotero account. You can combine attached file storage by carefully copying the contents of the "storage" directories inside…
-
You may want to try disabling some other add-ons if you have any non-Zotero add-ons. It is possible that there are new add-on incompatibilities in Firefox 4.
-
See http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data -- you can close Firefox and delete the entire Zotero data directory. When importing, try breaking the file into smaller pieces to isolate the problematic citations. And when you get the error message, …
-
The names of item types don't matter-- there are no substantial distinctions to be made between chapters and sections (section here is a more general term) in terms of metadata and citation styles. Therefore they don't have distinct types. But for …
-
We'll need to figure out what the broken RIS entries are-- can you isolate a couple that, on their own, don't import into Zotero?
-
Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/YouTube.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). It should start working again. If this works for you, …

This is a problem with the data that Worldscinet has submitted to CrossRef, the DOI metadata people. The metadata they've submitted is missing the article title, so Zotero can't create an item from it.
-
This does sounds like a nice future workflow, and while I don't know if it'll happen, I'm still hoping the notes interface gets a facelift sometime soon-- it would be nice if notes could link to tags, items, etc. But no matter what, you shouldn't ha…
-
A problem with multiplying data fields is that they need to be mapped to reasonable and portable equivalents in Citation Style Language, and a number of export formats (MARC, MODS, BIBO, and more).
-
First, the entries like the second one you've posted are just broken; there's something wrong with the way Endnote is exporting them. (Specifically, there's no data in them-- just descriptions of what each field means.) The first one might be faili…
-
Can you provide examples of citations using "Protective Marking"? In light of the nature of the term, it's fine to change the contents and whatnot, but we need to get a feel for how this data is included in citations and how it is formatted. Please …
-
They're using unAPI, which lets them point Zotero to the metadata for a given item without writing a special Zotero translator. The problem is that they're using RIS, which doesn't support call numbers. If they provided Zotero with MARC or MODS data…

Foxit has problems with extended characters. I used a different program-- can't remember what it was called-- for PDFs back when I was using WIndows, just for this reason.
-
Confirmed. This even happens with BibTeX that Zotero exports. I'll look into it. In the meantime, you can remove the "file" line and I think it will import. That, of course, is not a solution or a good workaround.
-
Oh-- in that case this is after the import issues were resolved. I'll look into this.
-
First upgrade to the latest release candidate of 2.1 (RC2) -- some import issues were fixed in the earlier betas.
-
My guess is that we won't see Zotero Standalone making an official release for PPC Macs. It's built on XULRunner, so if the new versions of XULRunner are still being compiled (by someone) for PPC Macs, it should be quite feasible to create an unoffi…
-
Douban should be working -- it was added to Zotero back in October, with a new version in December. Perhaps the Douban update wasn't pushed to 2.0.9 clients?
-
It's a computer generated style, it doesn't (can't!) do anything "at random"We could explore adding random ordering and random truncation for a future release of CSL, if there's demand. Perhaps to counteract the bias against end-of-the-alphabet auth…
-
Does it work for other sites? NYTimes?
-
No, the old translator didn't do PDFs either. I don't know yet how feasible it is to set that up for Scitation. I may take a look, but no promises. If it doesn't happen soon, feel free to post here in a few months to remind me to look into PDF savin…
-
We could probably write an import translator that would make Zotero items out of emails. I haven't really thought much about it, but it shouldn't be that hard. Are these in an Outlook proprietary format? It wouldn't be that hard to make a translator…

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Scitation.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). It should start working again. If this works for you…

This is one of the features of Zotero-in-Firefox that isn't yet possible in Standalone, but I understand this will be possible by the final release of Standalone. Right now, things like this are the weakest point of Standalone.
-
Specifically, Dropbox can't safely be used with the database files (*.sqlite). If you can set up symbolic links (on Mac or Linux) to have Dropbox sync only the "storage" directory within your Zotero data directory, you can use it safely.
-
There's a piece of code out there that enables batch fixes for author names, and which could be tweaked to handle other fields. I'm still waiting for its author to decide to make the patch public, and make it work with Zotero 2.1.
-
I went ahead and committed this to the Zotero repository. It should be in the next release of Zotero 2.1, if Dan doesn't push it to existing clients before then. Glad to help make Zotero work better for your library.
