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…
-
I agree. I too have often moved on to work in other collections when I come back to read a PDF loaded earlier. So the collection from which I originally loaded it from may be long forgotten. The right click 'Show in Library' doesn't help - it's real…

You can at least identify instances of the same author formatted differently (and other name formatting problems) from an alphabetical list of all authors in your library (but fixing them is up to you). To get that list, run the following code under…

You would do a search in your OS (ie outside Zotero) for PDFs under the zotero\storage hierarchy, and then sort by size. If you want to keep some access to the bigger files from within Zotero, you could copy those files to another folder on your co…

Perhaps if we kick things off with this question - have *any* plugins been updated for Zotero 7 yet ?
-
If you want the full path of a PDF attachment as text, the Zutilo addon can give you that. https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo Edit: if you just want to go to the PDF in its folder, Show File (intrinsic Zotero function) will take you there ... as oth…

The simplest approach would be just to tag reviews (since there are fewer of them than primary research papers). If you want to delineate further you might use different tags for systematic and narrative reviews. If you assign a colour to the tag(s)…

Release XPIs are on the Releases page. ;) https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-style/releases BTW Chrome's right click Translate to English (or your preferred language) works well if you need it. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/173424

@MarionSterescu if you want to know how much your *local* file storage amounts to, you can do the following: 1. Go to Edit\Preferences\Advanced\Files and Folders 2. Click on Show Data Directory 3. You will see a 'storage' folder there. In Windows, …

An option to make the content of 'post-it' style notes always visible on the PDF would indeed be very useful.
-
Zotfile has a special setting for diacritics - Tools\Zotfile Preferences\Advanced Settings - Remove Special Characters (diacritics) From Filename. Is that what you tried ? I have that setting set to ON and diacritic removal works for me (some chara…
-
As a general principle, you should always fully document your Zotfile setup though. While it's unlikely that anything will change in this scenario, there are other scenarios where you might not have access to your old setup (eg disk crash). It will …

If you want a structured systematic approach, ZotLog has some useful concepts. https://tribuneci.wordpress.com/2016/10/11/zotlog-structurer-son-parcours-de-recherche-avec-zotero/ (easily translated with Chrome's or other browsers' translators) https…

The Zutilo addon copies the text link to the clipboard as a right-click option - Copy attachment paths https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo Making a clickable hyperlink from that is a function that the software you paste the link into would have to pr…

Given the substantial number of Zotfile users, I would assume that any changes required in Zotfile for Zotero 7 will be managed between the Zotero team and the Zotfile developer, as I believe happened with the transition from Zotero 5 to Zotero 6. …
-
In the meantime there are some options. If you have Added Item Note from Annotations while in the PDF Viewer, or right-clicked Add Note from Annotations in the main view, that child note containing the annotations is then visible under the item in t…
-
If you want to sync Zotero 'data' across devices (item details, annotations, etc - everything in your sqlite database), then that is usually only done via Zotero's online storage. It should never be done via a cloud folder location (data corruption …
-
Re the question about providing introductions for students to read, you can do this with a standalone note, eg ***** 'READ THIS FIRST' at the top of the collection (maybe tagged with a long string of bright emojis !). There are limitations to this …

Collaborating across different academic software workflows can be messy. As can needing to access/organize/distribute PDFs external to stock Zotero. At some point it may make more sense for you to set Zotero to just use an external PDF viewer, so t…
-
If your data and/or attachment files were never synced online to Zotero servers/web library from the old computer (with the Zotero account you used on that computer), then the best way to get them onto your new computer would be from a backup of the…
-
With the focus on the main item pane, you can see *both* the parent item and its attachments by using the + key to expand all items (and the - key to collapse them again).
-
This bug is associated with several 'night' plugins that have forked from original code that had that bug. AFAIK none have solved/fixed it yet, despite most being aware of it. https://github.com/tefkah/zotero-night/issues/88
-
OK, so if you are not using Zotfile, or online Data or File Syncing, you just need to know where your Zotero data and attachments are stored: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data Once you know that you can set things up the same as your Endnot…
-
It is not exactly clear how you have configured Zotero on your two computers to achieve your portable Zotero setup (without using online data or file syncing). If I understand your needs correctly, it should be possible to do so (although unusual, a…

Thanks @diegodlh. I am not sure if any of the workshop organizers are active here, but the other recent player in this space that they may wish to to cover is: https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference It is still under development, but has…

You can put Interviewer in the Extra field, add that as a column in the main pane, and sort on that.
