  • You can try pressing Tab/Shift-Tab multiple times. Why not use the old Zotero 5 shortcut for "Focus/jump to toolbar", i.e., "Alt+F10"? Many note editor functions have some Markdown shortcuts, so the toolbar isn't needed very often. It's a bit annoyi…
  • I can see value in a separate plugin as it could be less complex. It would be nice if you could add the option "Open PDF in External Reader" with a PDF icon below "Open PDF in New Window". One would need to warn users that editing the PDF in the ext…
  • Is there a way to open files in the default external pdf reader rather than the integrated reader? The ZoteroQuickLook add-on allows you to specify a custom viewer. It provides a shortcut and a context menu option for the viewer. The release version…
  • Perhaps you're looking for "Delete Automatic Tags in This Library"?
  • @dorner: You might be misunderstanding something here. Items can be in multiple collections. Perhaps the item with the tag is still in the parent library. Or perhaps it's a tag added to an annotation? Also note that you can right-click a tag in the …
  • @Bebetter: That's not currently possible. It would perhaps be more fitting for a PDF editing function. There was also a related request for the ability to delete pages: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/2457.
  • If you keep repeating "Maximize" followed by "Restore Down", the columns end up being equally spaced. The same happens if you grab the the window's border to minimize/maximize its width. Perhaps a horizontal scroll bar could help?
  • You won't get Zutilo's "Paste field" options if there's no "itemType" field, because Zutilo thinks that it's not something it can paste. You need to keep the "itemType" field as a dummy, the value doesn't matter. The "itemType" value only matters fo…
  • Why do I have to put "book"? It seems to work with article, document, etc. See here: "The itemType name/value pair needs to be kept in the JSON text because Zutilo uses its presence to decide whether to use the paste JSON commands in the context men…
  • I also have this problem with the new version 6.0.5. I have enlarged the width of the title column. However, when I maximize the window of Zotero, and then restore the window size, my adjustment of the column width is lost. I could reproduce this in…
  • I know we can use zutilo to add or replace the content of fields but if we want, not to add or change but to delete, I don't find the way. See here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/85593/editing-multiple-items-at-once Copy something like {"ite…
  • The "Attach New File" function is not removed from ZotFile. You can still use it in Zotero 6.
  • Could PDFs that have annotations be marked in a special way? Maybe a different icon or some other way? A different PDF icon in the attachments column seems like a good idea to me. Something I would really love would be the ability to 'open' attachme…
  • An option to mark items as "false duplicates" could cause performance issues and other problems, I think. With many items marked as false duplicates, Zotero would have to work a lot to take this information into account. You'd also get new issues. L…
  • From the commit log it seems that you were able to fix the issue in the meantime. I checked the Debug Output Logging before reporting this issue, but there wasn't anything that seemed particularly useful. This is what I'm getting: 1. Change column…
  • In my opinion, Zotero should strip punctuation marks more moderately for sorting purposes. Perhaps only punctuation marks at the beginning of the Title field should be stripped? I would also suggest that stripping should only affect a limited set of…

  • having the ability to bookmark tabs or even better manage them (options like multi-rows) would be helpful. How about a function that creates a collection from open/selected tabs. It would create a new collection containing the parent items. This wou…

  • I'm not sure what kind of problem you're experiencing. Could you select a couple of broken linked file attachments, use Zutilo's "Copy(!) attachment paths", and paste the result here? Then please explain what's wrong about these paths. Is it simply…
  • the "replace all instances" box is already checked Yes, but did you enter a single \ character in the first prompt and / in the second prompt? Your recommendation to use "show attachment paths" on a linked file attachment that is working is not doab…
  • A column in the items list showing the number of tags of each item would be useful. This already exists for the number of notes. I'm tagging newly imported items, so an analogous column for tags would be helpful.
  • you recommend replacing all \ with /. How do I do that? @trcmlw: Use \ as your old partial path and / as your new partial path and check "replace all instances". See also Zutilo's command reference and this discussion for an explanation of the "Mod…
  • Finally, I was able to reproduce the issue. In my test above on a Linux setup, the Linked Attachment Base Directory wasn't set. I was repeating the steps below "What I Did". There wasn't any issue. After setting the Linked Attachment Base Directory …
  • I saw you tried to troubleshoot this before -- did you ever get anywhere? @adamsmith: No, I wasn't able to reproduce the issue. But so far nobody provided clear steps to reproduce it. This looks promising. What I Did @trcmlw: Thanks a lot for the cl…
  • @iain_nash: Just to clarify, is this about the folder with your linked file attachments or are you talking about the Zotero data directory with its "storage" subfolder that holds your stored files? You can save linked file attachments with a relati…
  • If there is an easier way to address this that bypasses this whole process, please let me know You can save linked file attachments with a relative path if you set up a Linked Attachment Base Directory. You'd only have to update the base directory i…
  • Is it possible for references to book chapters to share the PDF with the book reference or do these have to be separate and distinct PDFs? You could, e.g., add a URI attachment with a zotero://open-pdf link. But it's a little bit involved. See this…
  • I've first used the script a few months ago with the beta. It's possible that I tried to run something similar earlier and it was failing, but I don't remember details. But that earlier attempt might have been on a setup that had Cygwin installed. T…
