I have records with the correct title and first author name - and nothing else. The CrossRef and Google Scholar lookups do not work on them, even though when I just copy-paste the title to Google Scholar it finds the correct paper. If you could crea…

Note that the Zutilo add-on now provides functions for batch editing of items: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo With Zutilo, a great number of mass editing tasks can be accomplished in a relatively simple manner. For some functions you need t…

the whole point of that workaround is to basically not use Zotero's metadata fieldsFor me, creating parent items from filenames is usually followed by filling in the metadata fields manually. A script with regular expressions that moves e.g. the yea…

If you want to remove the wrong parent metadata, you could do this: A. Separate pdf attachments from parent items: 1. Add items with bad parent metadata to a collection, e.g., "FixParentMeta" 2. Quick search ("All Fields & Tags"): .pdf 3. C…

The Zutilo Add-On now provides functions for mass-editing items: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo/blob/master/docs/USAGE.md#item-field-modification-functions You could try this: 1. Save an advanced search for items with fields you want to de…

I agree with @gurdas that a confirmation prompt would be desirable when pressing "0", just as for "Move Item to Trash". There is currently no "undo" function, so accidentally hitting "0" can indeed cause a lot of damage. This is not unlikely given t…

This sounds a bit like the issue described here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/71946/freeze-issue-in-windows-10-1803-when-use-utf-8-as-default-code-page There, it's reported that Zotero "freezes" after launch. Before giving up, you might tr…

Here are settings for an alternative program, PDF-XChange Editor, and how to combine it with SumatraPDF. Configuration: - Windows system default: SumatraPDF - Zotero custom viewer: PDF-XChange Editor Zotero custom viewer settings: "Edit" -> "Pr…

I don't have a problem with the Zotero connector icons. But having some component that remains the same across the various icons might help with the connector's recognizability. This could especially help new users and users with a larger number of …

Thanks a lot for the fix!

It would be great if one could also select a search. In the list below, this is the only function currently missing. Could you consider adding support for it? items in library zotero://select/library/items/[itemKey] zotero://select/library/items?it…
-
Ok, then redirecting the links would be very welcome. Otherwise many zotero://select links might become invalid when updating items.
-
Thanks a lot for looking into this issue! If redirecting the links causes unwanted complications or costs performance, it might not be worth it. Simply always assigning the oldest itemKey as the key for the merged item would already be very helpful …
-
@dstillman It seems that a direct link to a saved search is currently not working, while selecting items within a search works fine: not working: zotero://select/library/searches/[searchKey] working: zotero://select/library/searches/[searchKey]/it…

@adamsmith I agree that a CLI for Zotero would be great and offer much more powerful options. But providing access to more complex Zotero operations seems quite involved to me. You might also want some way to have the CLI commands accessible e.g. fr…

Thanks for your answer and sorry for my lengthy remarks. I accept the criticism that jumping to the browser in case of no matching item is not an option. Such an unpredictable behavior of the links might indeed be bad from a UX perspective. Let me r…

Thanks for your comment. I'm aware that dealing with duplicates is difficult. A general duplicate warning message for imports could be problematic (e.g. slowing down mass imports) and distracting (warning messages for false-positives). In my view th…

As adamsmith writes, one could have the function only checking one location by default, e.g. My Library, and go to the web page if no item is found. In case multiple items are found, I would suggest to only select the most recently added one. Let me…

Thanks a lot for implementing zotero://select for collections! This is very useful. The following procedure works for me. With Better BibTeX installed, the context menu for a collection folder includes "Show BibLaTeX server URL". An URL will pop up…

You've been able to choose a custom PDF viewer for over a year. It's a setting in the General pane of the preferences. Thanks for your answer. I was not aware of Zotero's option to override the system default pdf viewer. It's good to know, but thi…

I'm also using Sumatra PDF as my default pdf viewer in Windows, since it's not cluttered and quick with handling multiple files. While it would be nice if one could choose a pdf viewer in Zotero, there is a quick solution for the question in the fir…
