I've just loaded 6.0.5 and everything looks fine. Once again, thanks to both of you.
-
Many thanks to both you and AbeJellinek.
-
Thankyou
-
OK, thanks for letting me know. I'll wait patiently. Are tickets publicly visible or are they internal only? Thanks for your attention and all your good work.
-
Any thoughts?
-
I've left this as a "wish" since I'm sure there are more important things you need to attend to. However one thought does strike me: is it possible to force the sort on a particular column (obviously in this case the call number) to be simply text a…

A lot depends upon the required performance and the number of simultaneous users that there will be. If you want a top-of-the-range database which supports potentially thousands of users then have a look at MariaDB (links below). For small databas…

Related to this I notice that whilst a performer of a recording is shown in the creator column, the composer isn't, even when there is no performer listed. Editors are shown in the absence of authors, could not composers be shown in the absence of …

This may or may not be helpful, but there is a discussion about exactly this point in the Wikipedia documentation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Sfn#More_than_one_work_in_a_year Oviously the templates won't work in Zotero, but it might giv…

I knew I'd read about this discussion elsewhere. It appears that different countries and languages do things differently. See the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Clog#Citations and more detail at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutc…

Yes Dstillman. I use Dewey in the call number field and when I sort on the call number I see for instance 621.42 is followed by 621.092. Joycekwc spotted the problem, it is sorting first by the integer part and then by the decimal part, but treati…
-
Should I raise this as an error, and if so how?
-
I think you're right. In the last example the number of digits dosn't matter since 92 is larger than 42 even without the zero. If I strip off the integer parts and leading zeros the examples are: 1 2 4 7 13/ADA 9 37 42 92 381 5 5 5 ... 7…

Bump?
-
@dstillman: thanks for the info about the feed, I've been lurking for a few years and hadn't seen that before.
-
"I'm afraid we can't help with general Linux/Windows usage.", I quite understand. I wouldn't expect OS support from an app forum anymore than app support from AlmaLinux. As I said, thanks for your advice and support.
-
Sorry.
-
I discounted the remote desktop route due to the ban on networked access. I could try it again, I've installed the Linux system under Win10. All that I'm doing is indexing and classifying books, so the reason for going to the books rather than bri…
-
Sorry if I wasn't clear: 1) Sit down and do an hour or two's work on the laptop using a local version of Zotero. 2) File > Export Library > Format=Zotero RDF to a USB stick (or possibly a networked files) 3) Go to the server 4) File > Impor…
-
Thanks, but that seems to only be for file syncing, not for data syncing. The task for which I use the laptop is virtually all data with very little file content! What I'm doing is cataloguing a library and it's handy to be able to take the laptop…
-
Any pointers?
-
@dstillman I've read the warning about cloud storage and heeded it, but if you have a moment consider: * OwnCloud running on a VM on my server (this may be moved back to the host OS in future). * Access from either the server (doubles as my WS), or …
-
OK, in my case it was a misleading message problem. Although Zotero claimed that there was an instance running, the problem was permissions and ownership on the directory specified in the Path variable in profiles.ini I'm in the middle of a major …
-
Presumably there is a pid-file or similar placed somewhere. Where is it? It's a bit poor if I have to reboot the server just to clear an application's internal lock.
-
OK, thanks. It's not a big issue, just a petty annoyance.
-
There's also a problem that Zotero doesn't recognise English spellings, only American ones. For instance labour is redlined whereas labor is not. Is this settable somewhere?
-
I have a couple of scripts I use. One moves the tarball from my Downloads directory into a system controlled software space and then expands it. I'd prefer not to use privilege for tar, but then there are issues with the username. The expanded di…
-
So the upshot seems to be: /usr/local - old school /opt - new school which explains everything; I started with UNIX back around 1990!
-
Why /opt and not /usr/local?
-
Final result. I've now got the Chicago Library List and the modified variant thereof working. Thanks all.
