It's "court" (as in law) not "count".
-
Yes I thought that's what it would be, as I've seen it a few times before. So I eventually closed the update window, and then closed Zotero. There was no Zotero process remaining in Task Manager, so I didn't need to kill anything. Restarted Zotero a…

@javierieh Zotfile has a preference setting that determines which file types it moves/renames automatically when the Connector downloads a file: Tools\Zotfile Preferences\Advanced Settings\Only work with the following file types. Even if you have "…

When you ask Zotero to import the annotations they are removed from the PDF. If you want them to remain there, you should not import them. They would still be visible in the Zotero PDF reader, but locked. Conversely, any annotations created in Zoter…

The split pane does not currently have the same functionality (highlighting etc) as the original pane. It's really just for viewing.
-
You could use the Audio Recording item type, and enter those details in the Format field.
-
You could also use Zotfile to move all attachments in those archived collections to linked files (in Zotfile's Custom Location, either locally or a cloud location). They would then no longer be synced to Zotero's servers (so would not be available …
-
I do think some extra forum structure might provide more scope for discussing broader topics like "best practices for collections". Because I think most people probably just make up how they organize things as they go along, and are not sure if they…

A simple way to manage Zotfile's moving of PDF attachments in an *existing* large Zotero library to the Zotfile linked Custom Location is to do it in smaller chunks ... select all the A's, then right click Manage Attachments\Rename and Move, wait fo…

It sounds like that PDF is a standalone attachment. You need to give it a parent item so that metadata can be added: https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#standalone_attachments_and_parent_items
-
To be clear, you didn't really 'mess up'. As stated earlier, you just needed to complete the setup for your new computer - since PDFs are at different locations on each computer ... that is, set the Linked Attachment Base Directory under Edit\Prefer…

Do you have the wrongly capitalized article titles stored in the item data in sentence case as they should be ? https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/sentence_casing
-
Sorry I don't know any way to get the linked PDFs in the javascript list selected in Zotero. Adding the capability to search for linked PDFs in Advanced Search would be the best way to address that, ie a new option to set Attachment File Type is Lin…

The Zutilo addon can apparently add a shortcut for Zotfile's 'Move and rename attachments'. Set under Tools\Zutilo Preferences\Shortcuts.
-
I don't think it's possible to do that with an advanced search. But this code run under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript will get you a list of PDF files that are in local storage (and are in the Zotero database): var datadir = Zotero.DataDirectory.…

Edit\Preferences\General ... "Open PDFs using ...."

Edit: written at the same time as the above post ;) Most people do this with tags. Either manually applied, or with the zotero-tag addon below which assigns /unread and /read tags automatically. https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-tag You can cr…

The following saved search works for me (Zotero 6.0.23, Windows 10): Tag/does not contain/(leave empty) Show Only Top-Level Items ticked.
-
I agree. I have always thought 'All Notes' appearing under that heading is incongruous. Also the fact that the '+' icon for All Notes only creates Standalone *unfiled* notes is a further incongruity. Maybe there is a use case for needing to see all …
-
I can also confirm that the latest release version of Cita v0.4.0 (by @diegodlh ) is not working with Zotero 6.0.22. The Cita preferences panel does not appear in Tools\Preferences, nor does its tab show up in the right pane. Cita beta versions are …

If you just want that final result - a list of all journal names including article counts for each - you can use the javascript here, run in Zotero under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/77225/to-extract-journals-…

To me and many of my researcher colleagues, the issues regarding copyright law in their written work are both legal and ethical. How did we end up in the situation where researchers give up their copyright to publishers for basically nothing, and th…
-
The failure of the add-ons window to appear when selected under Tools is often due, in my experience, to a Zotero process remaining in memory from a previous session. I do not know what causes that. To fix it in Windows, close Zotero, and then open …
-
I would suggest that Zotero ignore such attempts by academic publishers to further limit access to the work of researchers that those publishers did not pay for.
-
Chances are that it has downloaded the update normally. Sometimes the updating message just stays up. Close Zotero and restart.

Since the official github documentation for this important new Zotero Reference addon is in Chinese, and even then some features are not fully described, I'll add some more notes here ... Reference list content There does not seem to be a way for t…

Just spent an hour or so playing with this new Zotero Reference addon. It's had 33 releases at github so far (currently v0.3.6) so it does have some maturity. And it's pretty comprehensive and impressive. Here's some notes I took. Please add any new…

Correct, the way to proceed is just to use right click Rename and Move (if you already have the settings done in Zotero and Zotfile preferences). And it's actually Zotfile that handles *all* of that rename and move process. So it deletes the PDF fr…
