For big imports to an existing library, it might be worth writing some simple code to compare the new list to a list of the existing content, and extract only new ones to a new import file.

@ARC79 you simply copy/paste either of the code scripts above into the box under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript in Zotero. Then click Run. You should get a list of tags in the right box. Copy and paste that list into a file if you want to keep it. …

To be clear, the Linked Attachment Base Directory setting sets where Zotero *looks* for linked files. It has no effect on where Zotero (or addons like Zotfile) *stores* linked files. But you would normally set the linked file storage location (eg in…

There has been a longstanding problem for academic reference collections with how best to manage the common sequential scenario of a conference paper, maybe also published in abstract form in a journal, then sometimes appearing on a preprint server,…

Agreed, no way to do a cumulative count automatically that I know of. You could copy the list of each paper's cited references from the above-mentioned addon (zotero-reference) to file (an inbuilt automatic option ... just not sure where that file …

@RandyAllenHarris further to the second part of your question "What is the URI in Zotero and why would it be superior to the specific item ID?" ... Zotero does not really have item IDs say in the same way as Endnote's simple sequential auto-assigned…

A workaround to view your Library from the PDF viewer is to use the view you get when you click Add under the Related tab. I find myself using that a lot when I want to know whether or not I already have a reference that a PDF I'm reading cites, wit…

I don't know the exact answers to your questions, although I presume informed examination of the source code at github would provide the answer. I have not seen any mention of any data being sent outside Zotero other than by calls to various APIs as…

The Zotfile addon would allow you to move all your PDFs to the QNAP NAS as linked files (assuming that NAS is accessible from everywhere you work). That would leave just your Zotero data on the local machines. But Zotfile's status in relation to Zot…

@dstillman that page of Zotero documentation that you linked does contain a link at the very bottom to a youtube video "Zotero and OpenOffice" (although the video has currently been made private). Given "We haven't supported OpenOffice in years", wo…

Check that the Zotero Connector appears in the extensions listed under the Extensions button on Chrome's top toolbar, and that its pin is set to ON ... see 'Arrange on your toolbar' ... https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/2664769#zippy…

There are some strategies within Zotero that have been suggested for identifying/cleaning up broken links to PDFs, although not 'non-tedious' for large numbers of files, eg https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/98890/delete-a-large-number-of-dead-lin…

@urodriguez the XPI is linked under the latest release (currently 0.5.8) ... https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference/releases

Use of linked files allows PDFs to be stored to a cloud-mirrored location (eg via Dropbox). https://www.zotero.org/support/attaching_files#linked_files A WEBDAV server is another form of cloud storage. https://www.zotero.org/support/sync#webdav Al…

One workflow that 'kind of' does that is the Related tab, in whatever item you currently have selected. You can use the window that opens when you click Add as a lookup function for your whole library/collections. When you then click Cancel, you hav…

I just create saved searches for major labs/authors, so I can jump quickly to all their work.

Similar discussion several days ago here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/437708/#Comment_437708 The Linked Attachment Base Directory (setting and operation) is no longer relevant if you are moving to locally stored PDFs. All your PDFs …

You can use a split view (View menu or right click menu) to open a new view and navigate to a paper's reference list (avoiding the need to open the same PDF twice). Otherwise there are several addons with capabilities for parsing reference list tex…

The process of converting from linked files (back) to local Zotero storage is: Tools\Manage Attachments\Convert Linked Files to Stored Files You select the items for which you want to do this first, in the main panel. So try it with a small selecti…

So of @adamsmith's above list of Zotfile functionality that needs to be available in Zotero v7, we now know that complex renaming will be in v7, and we already knew that that an Android app should be coming at some point (soon ?). So Zotfile users …

In Advanced search, Website title is a subfield under Publication, along with other title-like fields for other item types. But AFAIK you can't select it explicitly. So any search criteria for Publication would search all those field types if you do…

Although I have not seen this problem lately as I once did (touch wood), the inability to see Tools\Addons used to be associated with a persistent Zotero process sometimes remaining after exiting the program. Which then caused that problem next time…
-
The bottom line is that the absence of Zotfile's functionality being available in Zotero 7 would prevent thousands of Zotero users from migrating to Zotero 7. They rely on that functionality for multiple important reasons, like needing to easily acc…

Yes, just turn off file syncing ... https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/sync

Not sure about LABD, but this function works in Tools\Developer\Run Javascript ... Zotero.DataDirectory.dir

Another option for avoiding slow processing with some word processors/platforms/big documents is using unformatted citations as you write. That is, plain text citations like {Smith, 2014}, which you type in directly (or via Quick Copy). You only for…

Oh OK, I was pretty sure that there was a way to get to active Zotero citations ... so that must be with the ODF-Scan plugin mentioned at the end of the RTF Scan page. Which would require LibreOffice for that final stage of the process. Parenthetic…

Since no one else has come up with any (easier?) approaches yet, the following *should* work. Work on a copy of your Endnote-formatted document (preserve the original). First click the menu option to convert your copy document's Endnote citations t…

@ZoeCMA the UI is OK, at least as far as English is concerned. ie it all appears to me in English within Zotero. And reading the github pages works well for me via Chrome's right click Translate of full pages. But some of the UI screenshots there ap…

Yes, I should have said that unfortunately Ctrl just doesn't work well enough to show what collections items are in (and does not do all of what a Collections tab would). For example where an item is in multiple collections with some outside the dis…
