There are snippets of javascript/SQL around here for some statistics, like tag counts and author counts. It's not too hard to devise others. Run under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript. There are no plugins that do this as far as I know. For example t…

@librarygeekadam I understand that you are using Google Drive in stream mode (not mirror mode) to avoid your linked PDFs there needing to be stored on your laptop. But you would only require enough *extra* space on your laptop to locally store the *…

Also, while it is possible to use the web version of Zotero only, it is always recommended that people primarily use the desktop version. Amongst the many advantages of the desktop version is that several recent backups are stored locally on your co…

Another simple way is to keep a collection named TO READ into which you put all new items (or just the ones that you *must* read). Once an item has been read, remove it from the collection. Of course you can also put each item into the collection(s)…

The zotero-reference plugin does that ... https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference (Chrome's right-click Translate to English does a good job with translating the instructions) When you open a PDF in the viewer, you have a right-pane Refere…

I've been using @chenglongma 's zoplicate plugin in the current version of Zotero (v6) and it has worked well so far. One thing I haven't tested is what it does with linked PDF attachments. So for example, where a duplicate is flagged on download a…

If you really need to keep your PDFs separate from Zotero (without duplication) - but still visible within Zotero - you can use linked files, as described at the link provided earlier (albeit with some limitations, described there) ... and mentioned…

"Nothing happens (no error message)" could mean several things. General procedures for transferring libraries between computers are here (you are using Option A): https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library Both computers need to be se…

Looks like a v7 update is planned ... https://github.com/dcartertod/zotero-plugins/issues/26

It depends on what copies/backups of your data folder/sqlite you have access to, and/or whether you were syncing online. Restoring from backups, and the options for transferring a library from one computer to another are described here: https://www.…

You can setup Zotfile to move the other non-Zotero file types like word processor, excel, jpg, powerpoint, txt, mp4, wav to its Custom Location as linked files, along with the linked PDFs. The default setting of Tools\Zotfile Preferences\Advanced Se…

On your new computer, when you go to Edit\Preferences\Advanced\Files & Folders\Data Directory Location and click on the Show Data Directory button, does it open the location to which you copied your Data Directory ? What is the size of the zote…
-
I've seen the same issue. You can't have a PDF open in another program and then ask Zotfile to move it. Similar to trying to move a file in your operating system and getting the error "This file can't be moved because it is open in another program".…

The collections structure is saved in Zotero's sqlite database with all item metatadata, annonations, etc. The database is a key element in the folders that need to be backed up ... https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#backing_up_your_zotero_d…

There is probably no totally ideal solution here. Unless someone has techniques that allow Track Changes to work 100% reliably with live citations. And Track Changes *is* the best way for others to edit/suggest edits for Word docs. Some other consid…

Track changes are important in document reviews. Flatten the Zotero citations for the copy sent for proof-reading. You can cut and paste the changes you like from the Track Changes to your original as plain text (being careful not to paste over live…

Track changes in Word has been reported to sometimes cause issues with live Zotero citations ... https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/debugging_broken_documents#microsoft_word

The Zotero Style (Ethereal Style) plugin gives the option of a separate column for your coloured tags, that can be sorted: https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style#tags

I was really addressing @oceansky, but @tmanchester I guess your problem is still not solved. I would take all special chars and spaces out of the pathname in your Custom Location. And maybe keep the path much shorter if you can. And if that doesn't…

You can also run the following code under Tools > Developer > Run Javascript to get a list/count of all the collections that a selected item belongs to: https://gist.github.com/KalebNyquist/2ca3ac322751578b6d791cd90b4df15b (this would be pri…

General purpose document repositories like Zenodo obviously contain a range of different document types, unlike other common sources that tend to have just one or two. I am not sure what clues Zotero can look for from Zenodo to categorize that wide …

Zotfile's move functionality is almost certainly making it to Zotero v7, in at least one existing new plugin. It's only Zotfile's Send-to-Tablet that is not in either of the two new plugin candidates. Of those two, one has gone private for now, and …
-
If in the Web Library, go to Trash at the bottom of the collections list there. In the middle pane, select the item you mistakenly moved to the bin. In the top taskbar there is an 'undo' icon that performs Restore to Library. If on Zotero Desktop, …

I have been using that feature of Zotero Style in Windows for several weeks now (one of its many features). It's surprising how much it seems to improve the user experience. Maybe I was just bored with the more bland all-white, stock Windows-convent…
-
To be clear, what is the specific problem you are seeing ? But similar answers as previously: - which versions of Zotero and Zotfile ? - how are you trying to get Zotfile to create linked files ? - does it fail to move all files ? - can you provide…
-
I don't disagree that paid local storage works very well for many people who can afford it. ;) I just think that many other people need to use the available alternatives like linked files - academics in places where the online Zotero storage cost is…
-
@connor_gray your Zotero *data* is safe and risk-free ... as long you did *not* set the Data Directory Location to Dropbox (the WSU instructions you used are not 100% clear enough to be sure that most people will avoid that). And of course if you ha…

I can see how those WSU library instructions might work. However their current instructions are somewhat ambiguous, unnecessarily tedious, and potentially wrong. At the top of the WSU library page you linked it correctly says "this is all about sav…
