Are the annotations you're seeing in Zotero visible when you open the PDF in an external PDF viewer ? If so, those annotations are part of the PDF file; Zotero annotations are not (unless you explicitly export them to a PDF). It is obviously possibl…

Ah sorry, I didn't see that ... my Chinese is a little lacking. ;)

@dstillman but doesn't Zotero always show a popup message saying it can't locate a linked attachment file (on onedrive in this case) when you try to open it ? And that message usually shows the path where Zotero thinks the file should be ?

When Zotero cannot open the linked PDF attachment on your laptop, does the error message show the location where it is looking for the PDF ? Is the PDF actually at that exact location ? Are PDFs at exactly the same path on both computers ? (if not, …

You can check the location that Zotero has stored for each (linked) PDF with Zutilo. Under the right-click menu it will show you that with its Show Attachment Path(s). Your linked PDFs' locations on both computers will likely have the 'attachments:'…

OK, I see now by 'Zotero web plugin' you meant the Zotero Web Connector's ability to scrape an author and date from web pages. I don't know what information Zotero has access to for scraping a web page's creator and date, nor therefore why those Zo…

At a minimum, manually typed citation entries for RTF scan only require {creator, year}, as shown at the link below. https://www.zotero.org/support/rtf_scan Zotero's *automated* scannable cite entries include extra information to avoid ambiguity. Y…

Zotero does not create a hyperlink between in-text citations and the references in the bibliography. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12431/word-possibility-to-link-references-and-bibliography-in-a-document#latest The latest (?) word from Zoter…

Each option for doing this has pros/cons as far as feasibility/convenience/accuracy are concerned. A new option that can be added to the list is doing it via an import file created by ChatGPT ... https://twitter.com/MushtaqBilalPhD/status/1753785908…

The simplest multi-computer linked PDF setup is for each linked PDF to be present at the exact same path on all computers. The location of each PDF is saved *individually* in the Zotero database. No Linked Attachment Base Directory setting to tell Z…

OK it sounds like you want to call Zotero from Filemaker Pro, using a coding interface that both support. That sounds like a question for the Zotero Dev (programming) group - see link below. That's where programming issues are discussed. https://gr…

I have never heard of that error message not including the actual path where Zotero expected to find the PDF file. But you have a complex unsupported setup (symlinks etc). I assume from what you say that you are using a linked PDF file setup (ie you…
-
Zotero still thinks your linked files are at their old location because you haven't done anything to change their location information in its database. You moved your linked files in your OS - outside of Zotero - and that's why Zotero is telling you…

In your first screenshot, Zotero thinks Trauma.pdf is at /Users/mac/Downloads/Trauma.pdf. But it obviously isn't there. I assume that screenshot is *not* from the computer where you first linked that PDF (where it still exists at that location). M…

@Max_inf what do you mean by "link" ? Just a one-time export/import of reference data from your employer's Filemaker Pro database to Zotero ? (this thread is actually about going in the other direction) Filemaker Pro is obviously just a general dat…

@s1968258 you could do that with @dstillman 's code above, by first selecting all items in the collection you want tags from: select collection, select any item, Ctrl-A to select all items, then run the code to get the tag list. You can also run it …

Retrieving data from Windows laptops with removeable SSDs or hard disks that are still functional (when the computer is not) is usually relatively straightforward in my experience; if you are comfortable opening your laptop and removing components. …

There is a version of the APA style for annotated bibliographies, that includes the content of the Extra field. Putting that information in that field would achieve what you want. https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:apa-annotated-bibliography

Not a note ? ;) When you hover over that icon in the taskbar it says "Add Note". So it's an understandable misunderstanding. Is there somewhere where it's called a "note annotation" ? I think I've mentioned that ambiguity before, and suggested 'Comm…

Zotfile does not work in Zotero 7 (currently still in beta). The current alternatives are attanger and zotmoov. If your issue is with one of those it would be best to post your issue at github. https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-attanger/issues …

What would happen if you re-framed the original question to ChatGPT (or issued the DOI question as a follow-up) ? - "Please convert this list of references into an RIS file. Also please find and add DOIs for those references which lack them". ;)

Do you only require a single bibliography for the entire combined thesis, or a bibliography for each chapter ?

To be clear, you do mean linked PDF attachment files not PDF files in local Zotero storage (under Zotero\storage), correct ? (sometimes people use the term 'linked' file ambiguously - it has a specific meaning in Zotero) When you move a Zotero item…

I also saw someone suggest that method of using ChatGPT to parse a reference list to get it into Zotero, in that case via BibTex ... https://twitter.com/MushtaqBilalPhD/status/1753785908266963066

Tags would be the way to do that. If you want the type to visible in the main pane, you would assign a colour to the tag. If you want to make particular types easily accessible all at once, you would use a saved search.

If you mean that you have "attachment notes" - that is, notes belonging to individual attachment files (image files in your case) - my understanding is that they are being phased out. There were quite a few capabilities of other note types that they…

Firstly, the normal way to have linked attachment files available to Zotero across computers is to store them in a cloud-mirrored folder (eg Dropbox, Google Drive), at the same path on each computer. Or if the cloud-mirrored folder has a different p…
