No, that's just an async function.

1) The item is still shown as selected in that second screenshot. It's just gray instead of blue. 2) Upgrade to Zotero 7.

(Please try to use more descriptive thread titles. "JS" isn't "broken".) Those attachments' titles don't end in ".pdf", so they're not changed. The code is only for changing titles that had been previously been changed to match the filename. If you…

You could write code to do that, but there's no built-in way, and it wouldn't be trivial — you'd have to perform transformations on the annotation coordinates. This isn't something we can help with.
-
You'd have to answer my question about the original computer, then. We'd also want to see a Debug ID for reproducing the problem.
-
If you're having trouble following the installation instructions and are running a Debian-based Linux, you should use zotero-deb, as it says on the installation page.

[Written before I saw the two preceding posts in a separate thread, but same answer] Other weird occurrences: I thought the refresh button was supposed to update the references following corrections in Zotero on information pages. It is not working.…

What exactly do you see when you open Zotero? If you see an empty library ("No items in this view"), that's almost certainly not actually your active data directory — a 52 MB database file wouldn't be empty. If you see blank panes, that's likely s…

my laptop last week started not opening PDF files, and there was no error message What does that mean? Then this week I have a new desktop and have attempted to import my file from my Zotero library on my laptop into my desktop What do you mean by "…

Yes, I can look in the right hand panel but, if I have a lot of attachments, I'll need to select each one, one at a time, to find the right one. Here's a simple example: @wayneholmes: But why do you need to do this? Why wouldn't the attachment title…
-
Can you explain the exact steps to reproduce what you're seeing, across iOS and the desktop app? In most cases, the attachment title should be changed to "PDF" when you use "Rename File from Parent Metadata", and the file itself should certainly hav…

For years, there have been long term plans for Zotero to switch away from XUL and Firefox to React and perhaps either React Native or Electron. (We have no plans to switch away from Firefox. React Native was never the plan, and we abandoned the idea…
-
Yes, "RTF Scan" is just the name of a feature — it's not an operation. Every app feature you can trigger in every menu is going to require some sort of further interaction, but that doesn't mean they all need ellipses — that's just pointless visual …
-
No, an ellipsis isn't used for menu options that just launch some feature or open some window. It's used for operations that require additional input, usually via a modal dialog, before performing the operation implied by the menu item. It wouldn't…
-
You have to have Zotero open, and the Zotero Connector needs to be able to connect to it.
-
You can just use a modifier key (Cmd on macOS, Shift on Windows/Linux) and Backspace/Delete to bypass the confirmation prompt.
-
Can you provide a screenshot of what you’re seeing?
-
Why? As explained on that page, we really don't recommend that. Among other things, it interferes with searches.

@bunnysloth: See Changes Not Syncing. Using "Purge Storage in My Library" has no effect on your library data (and very likely wasn't something you actually wanted to do — what were you trying to accomplish?).
-
Uninstalling/reinstalling the app never affects your data.
-
@kschmit2: If they're different items — with different titles, dates, etc. — it would be appropriate for them to be different items. If they're part of the same item, the attachment title provides a space for a description.

https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library You're already syncing, so the best option would just be to sync both computers. The only catch is that you're at your file storage quota, so additional files above your quota wouldn't be t…

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Can you explain exactly what you're doing and what's happening, and also provide a screenshot?
-
@bixiou: I'm not sure what "clicks" you think are needed here. You can add a child note to an item with a single click from the toolbar, from the right-click menu, or from the item pane. You don't need to expand it the item and find the attachment, …
-
Can you disable all plugins and provide a Debug ID (different from a Report ID) for Zotero startup through reproducing this, using the "Restart with Logging Enabled…" option?
-
@sunmuen: You can just install the 64-bit version from the download page. Your data won't be affected.
