This is something that operating system-specific screen capture utilities do very well; I don't see why Zotero should get into this business. Zotero keeps the attachments in their original format -- you can then do screen captures from PDFs, webpage…

Dan: Can you post the relevant portion of David's error report?

Dan -- can you post the relevant portions of Jonathan's error reports?
-
Also, if you are using this as a way to migrate your database, note that RDF is not the recommended way to do so-- just copy your Zotero data directory from the old computer to the new one. See http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data for details.

Auto-scrolling isn't working at all for me in Ubuntu 10.10 (Zotero 2.1b2 and Zotero trunk, Firefox 3.6.13). It would be very nice if it did. I'm willing to look into it, if you can let me know where to look.
-
These all work for me, and PDFs are attached. I am not working over a proxy, but I don't see why that should matter here. Can you submit an error report for a failed attempt and post the ID here (report errors in the gear menu)?
-
Actually, are you talking about Firefox safe mode or Windows safe mode? The latter won't do much here. If so, try the former: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe mode Edit: Oh. Except you're on a Mac. Well, these days you could be running Wind…

Just keep in mind that the item types in Zotero are best understood as a set of fields and a set of ways they tend to be styled. As far as I can tell, e-books require approximately the same fields and approximately the same styling as other books. …
-
These are two distinct problems. The first is something that has occurred in the past, but I think it had been fixed. Can you generate and submit http://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output and and an error report if applicable (http://www.zotero.org…

Use the locator dropdown menu in the insert citation window from the word processor plugin to designate the chapter. There is an open ticket for supporting multiple locators-- can you find a citation style guide that dictates that the chapter _and_ …

Bruce: Within Zotero, the underlying structure of the multilingual branch's data model is pretty much what you describe -- the piggy-backing (concatenating language-tagged values in a single string) is happening just to accommodate encapsulate the d…
-
Reminder: The multilingual branch is not even beta code-- it's an experiment that may not have an upgrade path to the final form it takes. But see the citeproc-js manual for information on how to access the various forms from CSL: http://gsl-nagoya…

I'm glad this is working for you now, although I have no idea how buying storage could have anything to do with what was happening!
-
Exports are not the way to back up. Just go to the directory (to find it, see http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data) and make a copy of it on your desktop, or really anywhere else on your computer. If you have not yet done so, disable all of yo…

Dan: Are you trying this within search results? I had always interpreted this as an unfortunate side-effect of Zotero needing to keep checking that my editing wasn't affecting whether the current item was still a result for the current saved search.…
-
UI is user interface, meaning that the data is probably all there and safe, it just won't show itself to you for some reason. There are automated backups that can be used to restore. But still follow Dan's advice and back up the Zotero data directo…
-
So there's something wrong with the response that you are getting from Amazon. I've added an extra debug line to the translator. Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Amazon.com.js and save the file to the translators director…
-
Reminder: Do not expect the multilingual experimental branch to work. Do not use it for anything important at this point. You can try to install the latest trunk XPI of the integration plugin-- I know that it did work at one point, but it may have …
-
Actually, frequent temporary lock-ups when working from within saved search results are something I've seen pretty often as well. I try not to do anything significant while looking at search results. As for the slow down button, my understanding is…
-
My pointing out the debugger was really just in answer to Jonathan's question as to whether such a tool exists. I have never used it in understanding Zotero problems, but it might be useful to him more generally.
-
Those work for me, so there must be something interfering in your case. Dan, others: Can you take a look at jehnchan's error report?
-
The JavaScript debugger (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/216/) gives you some idea of what's going on in the JavaScript engine.
-
This has been discussed extensively as an extension to the current date system-- something like this is understood as a real need and will eventually happen. It won't be an item type, but rather something in place of a date.
-
Can you provide a sample URL for an item that doesn't save? The only known issue is that Kindle editions don't save, since Amazon doesn't include data for them in its API, which Zotero uses.
-
This would be quite easy to do as a site translator. See http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/make_your_site_zotero_ready and linked articles. As with any site translator, write to zotero-dev (http://groups.google.com/group/zotero-dev/) if you have any…
-
The transliteration script is not integrated into Zotero in any way at this point. You should be able to run tests.js with your JavaScript engine of choice -- and modify tests.js to do what you need. To see it in use on an actual site, see http://w…

And also a question - I see we can now manually transliterate foreign titles (etc.) into new special fields. But is there any way to do this automatically? If so, could somebody please explain how to do this? If not, is this being worked on (for ins…
-
Ctrl-Alt-Z? Not sure what you're asking.
-
You can also click on the label "URL" in the item metadata panel to open the URL. Same thing for DOIs.

When the server is not super-busy syncs that are not full-syncs (after a reset or other abnormal situation) should be going through in seconds to minutes. If you're waiting, the server is busy. There's not much else to it. The server itself has been…
