@JohnAtl, @viplav: This issue has been fixed in the development version of ZotFile: https://github.com/jlegewie/zotfile/issues/518 It's unclear when the ZotFile author will publish the next release. If you want to try installing the development ver…

Thanks for adding a "Show in Library" option to Zotero's File menu! This is currently selecting the parent item, though. Could you please change it so it selects the PDF attachment instead? In my opinion, this would be more useful given that a paren…

FWIW, this almost definitely did not happen for me @adamsmith: It could also be that later updates removed the 'zotero.sqlite.109.bak' file. Did you check your backup? I found such a file in my backup from right after switching to the beta, but I do…

@jvoros: Maybe Zotero reports could be suited for what you're after. You can set keyboard shortcut for reports with the Zutilo add-on.

@Tomasz%20Raburski: If you're looking for batch editing functions, you could try using the Zutilo add-on. See this discussion: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/85593/editing-multiple-items-at-once

The code linked to above is explained in the MDN Web Docs. See the copyLinkToClipboard function there. (I've occasionally used this with the JavaScript API for code related to Zutilo issue #105.)

How about moving the PDF search button ("Find in Document") to the middle of the PDF reader's toolbar, next to the "Pick a Color" button. This would be analogous to the position of the note editor's "Search and Replace" button. The top-right corner…

@FabienAbraini: You can switch the Quick Search mode using the mouse or by pressing "Alt + ArrowUp/ArrowDown + Enter" on your keyboard. Most likely you used one of these methods without realizing it. See also here for related shortcuts: https://www…

@PaulLerner: You're likely using a sandboxed third-party package of Zotero. Try adding an exception to the sandbox. Alternatively, install the official Linux tarball or the zotero-deb package instead. The latter should be easier to install and doesn…

But as far as I can tell, there's still no way to annotate them once they're saved @scotto: You could install SingleFile in your browser, right-click the SingleFile button and select "Annotate the page...". This works with Firefox. There's also a se…

I still don't know what combination of keys I accidentally hit upon to make all the pages rotate clockwise You most likely pressed 'R' on your keyboard. This is Zotero's keyboard shortcut for clockwise page rotation. 'Shift+R' rotates the pages coun…

I think what you're asking for might be best realized with a new "Add Item Note from Annotations" option when right-clicking a group of selected annotations in the annotation sidebar. It's probably planned to add the ability to filter annotations b…

@martynas_b: I can also confirm that 1), 2), and 5) are resolved. Thanks for the quick fix! Here are two new issues. These would be enhancements to the PDF reader, which already works quite well and is aesthetically pleasing. 7) Double-clicking on…

The preferences 'extensions.zotfile.pdfExtraction.openPdf*' are obsolete as of ZotFile 5.0.13, when ZotFile removed its 'zotero://open-pdf' handler. @caroline.dault: You should be able to specify Skim as a custom viewer directly in Zotero: "Edit" -…

If you're using Zotero's new PDF reader, you could consider Edge as a custom viewer for the ZoteroQuickLook add-on.

The new Microsoft Edge Chromium supports text highlighting. See this discussion for how to specify it as a custom PDF viewer in Zotero: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/88586/unable-to-open-zotero-link-to-pdf-with-page-number-in-microsoft-edge-…

@AudunJohansen: If you specify one of these Windows batch scripts as the custom PDF viewer in Zotero, the specified page should open correctly: acro2edge.vbs or acro2edge.cmd. I would recommend the VBS script. With the CMD script, there's a flashin…

"Custom Location" is selected. The field after it is empty. @toliveira: If you specify a "Custom Location", the field shouldn't be empty. See here for a related discussion: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/85032/unrecognized-path-after-renaming

Some redesign work is already planned for the tabs. That involves PDF icon In the Notes pane, the headers show parent item icons. Why don't you show parent item icons for tabs as well, instead of PDF icons? E.g., if the PDF is a book, seeing a book …

The Zutilo add-on provides several keyboard shortcuts for working with tags. See "Copy tags" and "Paste tags" in Zutilo's command reference. For quickly adding tags to a single item, setting up an "Add tag" shortcut could be useful. There are also …

I agree with 5), it would be nice if one could access the context menu by right-clicking anywhere on a (minimized) annotation item in the left-hand sidebar.

I can reproduce issue 2) on a Windows 10 setup. I think mschwarze is right, this seems unrelated to the PDF file, but dependent on the DPI scaling settings. If I set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1 in the Config Editor, the issue disappears. See also…

Yes, Ctrl+K would be nice to have as a shortcut. There's a related issue on github. I also noticed the following issue with links. When the text cursor is on a link, pressing the link button in the menu bar on top of the editor deletes the link. P…

I guess a global rotation as in Firefox would be ok. This should be the more commonly needed function, especially on mobile screens. Currently, single pages cannot be rotated in pdf.js, see here. One would need to use an external PDF editor for rot…

I need to figure out the whereabouts for the PDF, open its folder In Sumatra PDF, you can use Alt+F+F as a shortcut for "Show in folder". No, but this is planned. It would be nice to have flags like "copy", "move", "link", which would be equivalent …

Currently, this is a limitation of ZotFile, see here. Its pdf.js code needs to be updated. Luckily, the Zotero developers are actually working on this, see here. ZotFile's setting "Use actual article/book chapter page for highlighted text snippets"…

So the current solution can't work with "use logical page numbers"? Yes, if you're using Acrobat on macOS, you should switch off the "use logical page numbers" setting. Otherwise, if your PDF uses page labels, clicking links in extracted annotations…

Is there a way yet to search in any field for specific text? Yes, this is supported in quick search's "Everything" mode, but not in advanced search: https://www.zotero.org/support/searching#searching That's obviously a limitation, but if you set up…

What I want is an easier way to export either a text citation or the "Zotero Select Item" link without having to go through and change the preferences every time. You could try using keyboard shortcuts for this with the Zutilo add-on. The relevant f…
