@richarddodd: You could try using the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx preference for fixing this. See here: https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-get-firefox-looking-right-on-a-high-dpi-display-and-fedora/ This is a related discussion about that Firefox sett…

I was pleasantly surprised by the syntax highlighting in the new "Run JavaScript" editor. Thanks!

I want to take the Zotero metadata and add it to the PDF properties There's a new tool that writes some Zotero data into PDF files: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/86578/a-new-tool-to-write-zotero-select-links-into-pdf-files It uses a Python l…

Zutilo offers some bulk editing functions, see here.

You can get separate notes per annotation color with the 'pdfExtraction.colorNotes' preference, see here. This creates multiple Zotero notes with titles such as "Red Annotations". (It won't create separate notes for each annotation, which can cause …

The Zutilo add-on provides a "Copy Zotero URIs" function. You can use it to copy URLs for items in Zotero's web library without leaving the desktop program. See here. There's also a local version of these links, see here for details. They have the …

It used to only show top level items, which is what I want Switch back to "Title, Year, Creator" in the Quick Search Options.

You can also create a new empty Zotero item and only fill in "en" for the Language. Then use Zutilo's "Copy item fields" and paste that into empty fields for your selected items.

@fredericky: I would suggest to use the Zutilo add-on for this, see here. Copy {"itemType": "book", "language": "en"} to the clipboard and use Zutilo's "Paste into empty item fields". The "itemType" name/value pair needs to be kept for technical re…

With BBT's autoPinDelay option, citation keys will automatically be written to the Extra field.

The encoding of the .bib BibTex format is "lossy". I'm not sure what you mean by that. The translation from Zotero's metadata to BibTeX is obviously lossy, but it should give you everything you need. The BBT add-on provides many options for adjustin…

It should be possible to produce a .ltb database from a BibTeX file. Try using the 'amsxport' option of the 'amsrefs' package. See here: https://ctan.org/pkg/ltb2bib https://ctan.org/pkg/amsrefs http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/amsrefs…

Currently, Zotero seems to import Mendeley data as 'imported_url' attachments for some PDF files with a single URL, see here. I'm not sure that this is how it's supposed to be. The idea might have been that website items could have attached snapshot…
-
If you right-click one of these attachments with a snapshot symbol and select "Show File", does it show a PDF file in Zotero's "storage" directory? If so, it seems like there was an issue with your Mendeley data import. You could inspect the attach…

@dstillman: Thanks for reviewing the code! 1) I guess the second and third arguments can be omitted here. 2) I had thought about this issue, but I was hoping the inconsistencies would be gone after restarting Zotero. My initial draft was creating …

This script for Zotero's JavaScript API tries to fix filenames of selected linked attachments using the attachment titles. For the new path, it takes the old directory and the attachment title as the new filename. It checks for the existence of file…

I wrote a script that might help with fixing some of your filenames. Thanks for your tests above. There's another test you could do in order to see whether you can reproduce the original issue. But that can also wait until you've fixed your filename…

Now I'm trying to find a way to edit the sqlite database efficiently. See dstillman's comment here: You absolutely shouldn't modify the database directly, though. If you're going to read the database directly, you'd want to just rename the files bas…

You could, e.g., paste to a text editor, remove the authors, then paste into empty fields.

Many batch editing tasks can be accomplished in a relatively simple manner with the Zutilo add-on. The Zutilo functions for batch editing of item metadata are: "Copy item fields", "Paste into empty item fields", "Paste non-empty item fields", "Pas…

This is expected for Better BibLaTeX exports of arXiv preprints. The BibLaTeX documentation lists 'journaltitle' as a required field for the 'article' entry type. Related to this, the Better BibLaTeX translator recently changed its default export of…

It would be great if the proposed feature could be integrated with the Zutilo add-on. Zutilo includes an adapted version of the Keyconfig extension for setting up its keyboard shortcuts, see here. With Zutilo, it should then be possible to assign k…

You should keep in mind that changing the type of Zotero items can give rise to data loss for some fields. Currently, only valid fields are preserved. See this discussion.

For batch editing of item types through Zotero's JavaScript API, see this discussion. You could also use the Zutilo add-on, which now provides a "Paste item type" function. The Zutilo functions for batch editing of item metadata are: "Copy item fi…

If you've imported the EndNote references at a specific date, sort your Zotero items by Date Added in the middle pane. It might be useful to create a temporary collection for items with bad tags. You can remove all tags from selected items with Zut…
