Note that Zotero's attachment titles and filenames can be independent. You see both of them in the right-hand attachment box, when the focus is on your pdf. I guess the title in the top row is shown as "Hüe et al.", but is the filename in the row th…

@Alb: You can use colored tags to quickly remove or add tags. See here. The Zutilo add-on can be useful for tagging multiple items at once. You can set keyboard shortcuts for these functions: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo/blob/master/docs/C…

Not sure how the files got messed up. Maybe someone tried to "optimize" the pdf files by running Distiller with the "Smallest File Size" setting on them. This might have removed the ToUnicode table, as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/121…

It seems to me that your PDF file has a font encoding issue. Selecting the whole text in my PDF viewer (Ctrl/Cmd+A), copying (Ctrl/Cmd+C), and pasting (Ctrl/Cmd+V) to a text editor, I mostly get garbled text. Some parts are fine, e.g., the quotes on…

As a workaround, you could adapt the workflow outlined here for saving a website as a pdf file. Zotfile's "Attach New File" function can grab html files from the Downloads folder. For this, add "html" in "Tools" -> "ZotFile Preferences" -> "Ad…

A first test could be to select some text in your pdf viewer and copy-paste it to a text editor. If this doesn't work, there's something wrong with your pdf. See the discussion here for some possible issues, e.g., a poor OCR layer. Problems could a…

That's possible, see here: https://www.zotero.org/support/related.

What you propose seems to be a planned feature. There is a related pull request on github: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/pull/175. See here and here for pictures. I'm guessing that the Zotero developers are holding off on such interface improveme…

@djhayman02 You can set file types that should be renamed by Zotfile in "Tools" -> "ZotFile Preferences" -> "Advanced Settings". See the discussion here for additional renaming options.

You need to install these add-ons in the Zotero desktop program, not in Firefox. In Zotero standalone, go to "Tools" -> "Add-ons" and select "Install Add-on From File..." in the gear menu in the top right.
-
This sounds like the issue described here. You could check if the paragraph you're trying to indent looks like Text.

For what you want to do, you might need the Better BibTeX add-on: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex

If you need to edit multiple items, the Zutilo add-on might be useful, see here. For example, copy {"itemType": "book", "extra": "ABK"} to the clipboard and use Zutilo's "Paste into empty item fields". Note that the "itemType" value is irrelevant he…

I entered your image url on https://ezgif.com/speed to change its speed. A speed of 20% works for me. One issue seems to be that the "View Online" context menu option keeps flashing. It seems that you have several add-ons installed. To identify the…

When using layout.css.devPixelsPerPx with multi-monitor setups, one should keep in mind that the scaling will not adapt to the monitor. (There was a Firefox add-on for this purpose: https://github.com/ertug/autohidpi.) It's possible that these disp…

To search for notes and child notes in a collection "C1", try this: Match "all" of the following: "Collection" "is" "C1" "Item Type" "is" "Note" Check mark for: "Include parent and child items of matching items" Save this advanced search with n…

I haven't checked for your first issue. But at least the second issue should be fixed by reducing the display scaling. Setting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 2 should fix your second issue if a system scaling of 200% fixed it. From my tests, the layo…

As dstillman mentioned above, there are reports that updating ID Protect Monitor helped: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1219087#answer-1116602 You could try to download the software here: https://sistemats1.sanita.finanze.it/portale/el…

Did you already try to update or temporarily disable your security software? Windows 10 version 1909 has some reported issues with some antivirus software: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-1909 Crashes…

Yes, you are probably right. I'm aware that this is not the officially recommended way of storing secondary URLs.

Existing real fields won't be overwritten by values in Extra. The Extra lines will be left in place. Ok, thanks! That's good to know. I'm not sure why you wouldn't add these as attached links, though, so that they can have appropriate descriptions a…

See this discussion for several options how to rename files: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/81030/renaming-via-f2-key-individual-attachments-of-an-item. You should be aware of the difference between stored and linked files: https://www.zotero…

I found a fix that works for me. You can preserve your Windows system settings for display scaling while changing the scaling for Zotero. In Zotero's Config Editor, the preference layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is set to -1 by default. Change this, e.g.,…

I have added URL: http://... to the Extra field for storing additional URLs. Would this create problems when Zotero moves fields in Extra to real fields? It would be undesirable if Zotero would overwrite the primary URL field with the value in Extra.
-
Ah, ok. I guess the safe mode is doing more than disabling add-ons.

Tags like should be valid comments according to the HTML specification here. I also checked that this passes the Nu Html Checker: Test abc So it seems to me that TinyMCE has an issue with handling HTML comments without throwing errors.
-
Given that Zotero seems to run in safe mode, could this be due to some problem with a plugin, e.g., the MS Word integration? You could try to start Zotero normally and then disable all add-ons. If that is stable, add the add-ons one at a time and se…

I can reproduce the second issue. This should be a display scaling issue that goes away if you set Windows 10's "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" to 100%. It appears when setting this to something larger, e.g., 300%. I noticed a possi…
