even though this could be a bug, it at least gives us the chance to recover the references, especially if some fields of the other versions are not empty while those in the primary is. So I guess this might be done on purpose. Despite whether it is…

yes, this is the way I mege the items: Firstly go to the "duplicate items" collection, then choose one item, then its relevant items will also be selected automatically; sometimes if I want to choose other items as primary, I will click on that reco…

when I go to the trash, I will see the entry that I just merged, even though another entry still exist in the library (outside the trash, I mean). The entry in the trash is mostly without the attached pdf, btw. Another issue during merging is that,…

BTW, I would suggest adding filters "everything" or "all fields and tags" or "title creator year" in the quick search into the advanced search too, besides another filter similar to the "topic" of WOS, including "title, keywords, abstracts"

it's surprising to hear this because when I click on an item in the feeds, in the info pane on the right, I can see info like type, title,author, date, doi, etc, just like what we see for normal items, so I thought it has already been translated, th…

I get your point now. I agree that syncing URLs is more efficient than syncing items, which I guess is the reason for this behavior. However, it is sad that this means that we can't get take advantage of the translation done by other devices for rss…

thanks for your explanation. From your first explantion, I understand that it is preferably to use a feeder that in a browser, rather than a feeder app. As for the second part, since the items in the feeds are accessible through api, etc., I suppo…

by the way, given that the webpages are already translated into items in rss, e.g., via the desktop version of zotero, can these items be synced to the zotero sotrage, which will then be accessible to the developers, so that they can display them o…

@dstillman, thanks for our clarification, so is there anyway convenient way to save items to zotero from other feed reader? and could you recommend some feed readers, preferrably offering this feature? Thanks.
-
oh, now I see that option, thanks, this is exactly what I'm looking for. It is sad to learn that we can't sync zotero to an ipad, actually it seems that there is actually not an app for zotero on ipad yet. At least it works for mac, though. I'm…

by the way, I saw someone suggest offering ways to organize the feeds hierarchically, for example, one can create some collection named academic journals, life, entertainment, etc, and put the feeds in them. Otherwise, if there are many feeds, it w…

thanks for the comment; enabling automatic sync seems to be a good idea; I have decided to use the group service to share items with my colleagues. Now there are several other features that I would recommend: 1. Regarding sync of attachments: …

DWL-SDCA, thanks for your advice, but this doesn't seem to me a very practical way. My major concern here is: when this problem persist, each time when I import some new references (possibly in batch), I can't safely discard the duplicates at the im…

Hi adamsmith, thanks for your explanation. It's true that those with items types of books and the same ISBN theoretically should be the same book, but in practice due to some reasons some articles are classfied as books (I don't know why), in this c…

Hi dstillman, thanks a lot for your reply. The "Recursive Collections" is indeed quite helpful for solving my problem. Even though we can't select different subcollections, the existing feature is more or less sufficient with proper design of th…

Hi Bwiernik, thanks for your reply and I hadn't notice this function before, which solves the most part of my request. However, it seems that under this mode, it can only display the tags within the current collection ("folder icon on the left p…
