Click and drag fixes (or rather avoids) the picky text selection 'problem' that I had, with ALL PDFs. So I don't really have a problem anymore. I hadn't made a bug (?) thread because maybe it's just my setup - I use a Logitech trackball so who knows…

Click and drag in 6.0.10 has made text selection/highlighting vastly easier. I had found placing the cursor at the start and end of text sections to be really picky in the PDF reader; one had to learn the precise skill of placing it 'just right' (lo…

@AbeJellinek thanks for catching that. Is that way that fieldID works documented anywhere ?
-
I needed some code to get an alphabetical list of all journals in my library, to run WITHIN Zotero under Tools\Developer\Run Javascript. It draws from some other code snippets floating around here, with some additions/modifications. It includes a co…

@hsiangyu_wong Aah, so that's what that setting means. ;) But that setting is not really necessary. You can just go with the way Zotero handles all the other tabs. eg if you select the Tags tab on one item, that becomes the default display tag for …
-
Thanks @hsiangyu_wong . I set my pages to view to 1. There now appears to be a bug whereby clicking a (parent) item goes straight to the the Preview PDF tab, instead of to the tab that was previously selected (usually the Info tab). Upon clicking o…
-
Maybe add a preference to set the number of pages in the Preview ? One page might be enough for most people (and might also reduce memory use ?). Or just have it default to (single) Page View, so you only load/scroll to later pages if you really wan…
-
Thanks @hsiangyu_wong . That's a really useful add-on. I have recently been cleaning up author formatting problems (separating full names where they were under lastname, removing trailing comma added by Zotero when using Swap First/Last names, separ…
-
You can do this easily in Windows without any new software (and I assume the Mac OS has similar capability). Just go your Zotero\Storage folder in File Explorer, and search (top right field) for *.pdf files (assuming they are your largest attachment…

That 'zotero navigate' add-in by @jdfinch worked well in Zotero v5, but as of now has not been updated to run in v6.
-
OK, I managed to cobble something together that works for me, from some other code snippets floating around here, and by looking at Zotoro's tables in a copy of my zotero.sqlite (using the free DB Browser for SQLite). Despite knowing no javascript n…

@hsiangyu_wong when switching from the library pane to the PDF reader, the Translate (4th) tab always becomes the active tab, not the expected Info tab. Can this behaviour be changed ?
-
No takers so far ? ;) @dstillman or anyone else, in simple terms is there an equivalent for "WHERE libraryID=1" in the above SQL code that would limit the author search to the current collection instead of the whole library ?
-
I've found the above code from @dstillman to be very useful to get simple counts of the number of items by each author in one's entire library. A modification that addresses the duplicate-but-not-identical author names problem in a very basic way is…
-
Given the importance of reference lists to academic reading, a more powerful way of navigating them in published PDFs would be another key distinguishing feature for Zotero over its competitors. I recently proposed a rather extravagant notion for s…
-
This has been requested quite often lately. Either as a 'history' or 'recent' option that shows you a list of where you've been and allows you to jump back to anywhere in that history; or just a keyboard shortcut (or toolbar button) to traverse your…
-
Thanks ! Zutilo worked well and quickly, for a collection with ~3000 items and 150+ tags. Pasted from clipboard into Excel for alphabetical sort.
-
Thanks for those suggestions. But I have too many tags for just looking in the tag selector box to be viable. If however there was an option to right-click Select All tags (or a subset) in that box, and then Copy to the clipboard, that would work. S…
-
Two ways I have used to find stray PDFs that haven't been moved, albeit both external to Zotero: (1) Use your OS's file search routine to find any PDFs under the Zotero\Storage hierarchy. (2) I use FreeFileSync (Windows app) for backups. It shows me…

Latest update 0.4.8 now detected by Zotero, downloaded, and updated nicely. Thanks @ThomasJorna
-
@ThomasJorna should updates be found automatically by Zotero ? I have 0.2.2 installed but I see on github it has been updated to 0.2.5. But in Zotero when when I click on Check For Updates under Tools/Add-ons it says 'No updates found". Same result…
-
Excellent +1. Rosmaninho's userChrome.css never worked for me for some reason. This does (under Windows 10). A few minor issues already mentioned by others in github Issues.
-
Agree. Also buttons to jump to beginning and end of PDF.
-
I agree. An easier way to occasionally open a PDF in the system/external PDF reader is needed.

Correction to my last report: Just looked in my extensions folder, and it now has scite v1.14.1 ! (version confirmed under Tools\Add-ons). So it updated itself somehow even though I had removed its XPI (v1.12.1) earlier, and (later) deleted the exte…
-
Further to my earlier report that Zotero 6.0 would not complete the update, it eventually did. Not sure how long it took because it was going overnight. So that took it to 6.0.1, where the Tools\Add-ons window then opened again as it should. And the…
-
@dstillman : Following on from deleting the scite XPI and extensions.json, which led to Tools\Add-Ons not working, I have now done a Check for Updates (I am on 6.0). That brings up the Software Update window that shows Downloading Zotero ... Applyin…
-
@dstillman : OK I deleted extensions.json from my profile folder. But on Zotero restart, Tools\Add-Ons still brings up nothing. Extensions folder contains XPIs for zotfile, zutilo, scihub, navigate. Scite tab in right window is still there, right …
-
I deleted the scite plugin in my profile folder as instructed. From the file dates in the XPI/ZIP, the scite code was a month old so I am assuming I had v1.11.2 of the plugin (I don't know how to find the actual version number in an XPI file). I had…
-
@dstillman , for someone who has the scite plugin installed, but has not noticed any issues in brief Zotero 6 runs, and does NOT currently have Zotero running, what is the best strategy ? The above fixes seem to be for people who have already encoun…
