Ah yes. This is done intelligently for names that can be easily identified as non-Byzantine (in Frank's terms), but Vietnamese can't be identified by script alone (it can be identified by specific character usage, though). Frank coded logic to defau…
-
My understanding is that this should just work. Are you running into any issues?
-
Yes -- its probably still won't work yet, but I'm interested in seeing whether some cases can be handled by being more crafty with translator targets. I've opened a ticket on proxies in connectors (standalone): https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1769
-
Can you provide an example URL for a ScienceDirect page when accessed through the proxy?
-
You'll need to download https://www.zotero.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/1202/Primo.2.js and save it as "Primo.js". Then copy it to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory. It should start working-- but there may be some data qualit…

New translators of this sort usually only happen when someone is personally interested in having one -- translator work by people like me is pretty much limited to maintaining the 311 translators already in the system, plus the occasional new transl…
-
The authors pane idea would be great-- an enterprising developer even wrote up a patch to implement it last fall, and I hope we can get it into Zotero at some point in the future. The pane could even be made flexible enough to browse by publication…

Since the orphan and duplicate views are fundamentally different from the normal way that people work with their databases, I think that they'd be a better fit for the gear menu. They are a special way of looking at the database -- and even if they …
-
There are still import issues that are set to be fixed in the next 2.1 beta. That beta should be soon.
-
And forum admins: Can we get a new category for Standalone?
-
The notification is being produced by Zotero Standalone (I think), not by the Chrome extension. Standalone doesn't really know very well where the Chrome window is, so it is bound to miss sometimes. In your case, multiple workspaces is going to mak…
-
How about the gear menu? If we add a Display > submenu to it, we could also stick Frank's orphan and duplicate views there too, if and when they land in mainstream Zotero.
-
I like this too. Where should the option go? The only barrier I see to this is figuring out where to put it-- I don't think that the general preferences are the right place. It would be nice to put this somewhere in the main UI, but I can't decide w…
-
@kategooding: The empty response error is usually temporary-- does the error persist if you click the sync arrows and try to sync again? As for the others, I can't offer much until one of the core devs takes a look at the specific errors.
-
Yes-- don't underestimate what you can do with careful use of groups. Although to use groups at all, you have to at least synchronize your entire library (although you don't have to share it).
-
Most of the basic UI things are known issues and should be getting better in coming releases. If you can identify specific pages that show translators in Firefox and not in Chrome, please post URLs here. The pop-up notification issue is a new repor…
-
Things like this happen with particular sites-- but to troubleshoot and address it, we'll need some example URLs or other example input. In general this should work and does work.
-
There is no way do designate columns as text or numeric-- extra would probably be treated as text as well. You can of course buffer your numbers with zeros to get fix sorting.
-
Hmm. That doesn't make much sense to me, since the code is essentially the same. The difference for saving from Pubmed search results is one function call. The real performance boost will come if and when the shift to transactions happens; this is …
-
The Zotero Everywhere initiative (http://www.zotero.org/blog/zoteros-next-big-step/) includes significant reworking of the online libraries, as it will become possible to add items directly via the website, without a desktop client. It wouldn't surp…
-
In both cases, you're just seeing the effects of general Embedded RDF breakage in the 2.1 betas. This has been fixed on the trunk, and the upcoming 2.1b5 will work with both sites as well as 2.0.9 does. Not sure why this wasn't fixed in 2.1b3/2.1b4,…
-
See https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/7819 No official comment on it yet, but looks like Zotero-as-a-tab is coming for 2.1 final, possibly in 2.1b5.
-
If you are nevertheless interested, please post a comment here. If someone knows if I can submit an incomplete style to the Zotero repository, please let me know. Yes! Particularly if the style is just about as much as is currently possible with CSL…
-
I just finished up work on a version of the Pubmed translator that just saved 200 entries in about a minute on my puny netbook. This version implements the import interface, so now you can import piles of Pubmed's XML output, wherever you may find i…
-
There seem to still be widespread import problems with 2.1b4, but I think they'll be resolved with the imminent release of 2.1b5.
-
This is standard Zotero behavior, and it is essentially because styles can specify whether full stops should be used, and Zotero is smarter about inserting than about removing them. You shouldn't need to worry about adding them everywhere.
-
The italics and whatnot won't be preserved, for the simple reason that Endnote doesn't export them, so Zotero doesn't know about them. Linebreaks should be possible-- hopefully one of our Endnote migration gurus can chip in here.
-
Not really, but it the tag autocomplete should help. In addition to watching manually, a slightly computer(-programming)-proficient person could use the Zotero API to write a script/website that keeps an eye on the tags in use and flags variant tags.
-
What is the error message on sync? (Only core devs can see submitted error reports-- most of us here on the forums see only what you provide in your post.)
-
The errors suggest that Norton Confidential is still enabled or at least installed, otherwise it shouldn't be throwing errors. Still, the 405 errors sounds like perhaps the sync is looking for files that the sync server doesn't know about. Hopefull…
