  • I also would like to sort my Zotero window by last name only of the author, which makes it easier to get a chronological list of the authors publications in the window. You might be able to achieve this by creating a citation key column with the Bet…
  • You could also use Zutilo's keyboard shortcuts for triggering the renaming function. See here. (BTW, if you use stored files, there is a positive consequence of the issue described by adamsmith. It allows you to control when to keep original filen…
  • @adamgblake: It might be that the links in your extracted annotations are using the wrong itemKey. I think this can currently happen if you, e.g., convert stored files to linked files. See here: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/483. If thi…
  • @adamgblake: It seems to me that the mdnotes plugin is creating zotero://open-pdf links: https://github.com/argenos/zotero-mdnotes/search?q=open-pdf If these links work in your markdown editor, zotero://open-pdf links seem to be generally working. …
  • @farhangf: Here are some comments on your additional questions: 1) If you close Acrobat and click the second zotero://open-pdf link, does this work again? If so, this sounds like it might be an issue with Acrobat. You could try a different viewer, …
  • @adamgblake: Let's hope the Debug ID contains some useful information. Did these links work for you before? Did you try step 5 above? You could try to set your custom viewer to Preview. There have also been reports of file permission issues on macOS…
  • Note that the preference extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.openPdfWin is obsolete as of Zotfile 5.0.13. It allowed you to set a custom pdf viewer. Step 5 below has a similar effect. Try the following steps for troubleshooting your problem: 1. Make …

  • If you want your citation keys to sync between setups, you should use BBT's autoPinDelay option. (This was formerly known as the autopin option.) With 'autoPinDelay' set to a positive integer number N, the citation key will be written to the Extra f…
  • This isn't about display scaling — it's just about resizing of the window based on the contents. That's possible, I have no idea about the underlying technical problem. The observation is that the BBT prefpane issue only occurs with certain display …
  • This should be a display scaling issue, see the discussion here. As explained there, the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting might provide a workaround. You should keep in mind, though, that the setting could create new issues, e.g., with multi-monito…
  • This user-defined wildcard should do what you're looking for: { "1": { "field": "publicationTitle", "operations": [{ "function": "replace", "regex": "\\B[a-zA-Z]", "replacement": "" }, { "function": "replace", "regex":…
  • @jmespge: You could use temporary browser bookmarks and postpone saving to Zotero. These shortcuts should work for Firefox and Chrome: Bookmark Page (Cmd/Ctrl + D) Bookmark All Tabs (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + D) I sometimes postpone saving to Zotero when…
  • Currently, this is a limitation of Zotfile, as explained in the preferences: "Tools" -> "ZotFile Preferences" -> "Advanced Settings": "Use actual article/book chapter page for highlighted text snippets": "The article page number is determined…

  • I'm wondering whether the planned update metadata function could "virtually merge" an existing item with a newly retrieved version. Both versions would be kept in the database, but grouped as a single item in the user interface. The virtual item sho…
  • @DonnaCoxBaker: Did you try to hit the spacebar directly on a PDF attachment? There's an issue for parent items with a problematic child note, see here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/83861/zoteroquicklook-improvements
  • That's already possible. See this discussion for some renaming options: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/81030/renaming-via-f2-key-individual-attachments-of-an-item
  • I don't think Markdown Here is working well in Zotero. I wouldn't recommend using it for serious work. See here: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/issues/92.
  • I agree, there shouldn't be a general problem with Preview when using Zotfile's annotation extraction. There could be occasional issues, judging from reports on the forum (here) and on the web (here and here), but I can't tell whether any of this mi…
  • There are reports of issues with PDF highlights done in Preview, see here. On a Mac, you might get more reliable results with Skim, PDF Expert, or Acrobat. You can set a custom PDF viewer in Zotero's preferences: "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Ge…

  • The options "Attach Stored Copy of File…" and "Attach Link to File…" are part of Zotero's Attachment Menu. When attaching files through this menu, files should be renamed using Zotero's own renaming options by default. With the settings here, Zotfil…
  • You might be referring to Zotero's Attachment Menu, which should remember the last directory you used for attaching files. This is unrelated to Zotfile's source folder, see here.
  • @paulgrassl: For troubleshooting your Zotfile issue, see here.
  • If you're looking at the Zotfile homepage with Firefox, hovering over the Download link with your mouse pointer should show this: "In Firefox, download file with right-click 'Save Link As...'." See also this discussion: https://forums.zotero.org/di…
  • the Locate button [...] constructs a fairly specific query You can add new lookup engines to Zotero's Locate Menu. For example, bwiernik's "Google Scholar - Title Only" on github (here) gives you a query option that is less specific. If you edit 'en…

  • If you need to edit multiple items, the Zutilo add-on might be useful, see here. As for the item type field, see here.
  • @kchelfer: You could try holding down Shift at startup to start Zotero in Safe Mode. See also the suggestions here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/79209/zotero-continuously-crashing/p1 You could also try to use the Windows ZIP beta version: …
