It seems like the widely useful solution will be program or plugin that works on an ODF text file. You could convert your content to that form by exporting from Scrivener in RTF, reading the export with LibreOffice, and then saving in ODF format. It…

@trangpham, Always be sure to keep important data in multiple copies. One copy should be kept as an "untouched" version that is never opened or tampered with. Always work on a copy. (It may be too late this time around, but it's a good thing to rem…

@lynnhuang: I've never worked with Scrivener, and I have a question. If a document is exported from Scrivener in RTF format, and you then run it through (a properly working) RTF Scan to convert the citations, what would be your next step in producti…

As an aside, it would be great if an enterprising young programmer somewhere could take a look at the new-look "scan key" forms I posted above. As the keys are unambiguous, refactoring the RTF Scan feature to use these forms should not be terribly d…

Just dragging the item(s) to My Library or a collection under it should work.

If anyone is interested in doing some work to get RTF Scan going again, I've implemented a feature in MLZ that could be used as a starting point. The latest MLZ version has a tick-box in Preferences -> Export named "Include Zotero link wrappers …

After a little back-and-forth communication between Paul and myself, I think we've worked out a nice solution for tying Zotero for Firefox to external outlining utilities. There are two parts to it. The first bit is a couple of small tweaks to the …

Gracile recently refreshed the proposal as a proper pull request. Other than that I don't know what the status is.

You might be encountering this bug in Word: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/20645/mla-in-word-2007/#Comment_109188

True, I missed that, sorry. Someone who knows translators well (which I obviously don't, at least today!) can provide a better response.
-
It sounds like you had a file that would have pushed you over quota, resulting in the error and warning. Only the browser client would know about that, since only it has access to the files queued for syncing. After your cleanup, one or more smaller…

It looks like the metadata of individual pages is embedded with microformats, while the tables of contents deliver COinS. I don't think Zotero has an off-the-shelf translator for microformats; someone would need to build a specific translator for th…

No further movement as of yet. It's just a matter of passing through a value for the "status" variable to the processor, as far as I know (easy as far as the processor is concerned, but non-trivial at the Zotero end since adding the variable will af…

I realized that the name of the catalog in the zotero catalog where the pdf-files are stored was changed, so I made a copy of that catalog and renamed it with the old name, but that didn't help.I'm not sure what you mean by "catalog" and "zotero cat…

On a quick check, it's not availabe here either (Nagoya University). University of Tokyo lists it among their available databases, but as a free service; it looks like they haven't updated their page recently.

What style are you using?
-
Ah. In that case, it sounds like you are trying to drag an item from the Zotero client into a group displayed on the website, which will not work. Assuming that you have created a group on the website, is it visible in the client? If not, open the …

@kgowans: The precise error message would not by any chance be "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded", would it?
-
Fantastic! Thanks for putting in time on this one.

Sorry to hear the that the plugin hasn't addressed your immediate issue. I'm very sure that the bug is fixed in the processor. We'll have to leave it there for the present, until there is a further Zotero release.
-
Good morning in Japan Standard Timezone, and my apologies. Writing last night, I forgot that I had put up a separate plugin version specifically for this case. As the problem is now fixed in a fully tested processor release, I've now removed the spe…

@johannes.kruse: You can try reinstalling or updating the plugin (linked above), to see if the latest processor version fixes the freeze problem. The javascript error might have been caused by the same bug, but if it happens again and you can identi…

Thanks, it's useful to know that the field mode is irrelevant. The repaired processor just cleared the test fixture for this issue. Processor release coming put ...
-
@johannes.kruse: Magic, thanks. The cause of the crash is the two "Bolivien" cites, which both have a value in the (last) name field, and nothing in the (first) name field. The processor is trying to apply givenname disambiguation to this pair, and…

Johannes: Alternatively, if you can identify a specific set of items that will trigger the error when you right-click to generate a bibliography, export those as Zotero RDF, paste them to http://gist.github.com, save as a Public Gist, and post the U…

Let's hope it triggered the javascript error. (In case we have further debugging rounds on this, it is valuable to identify specific references or operations that reliably trigger an error. Ultimately I'll need to be able to reproduce the fault here…
-
You should be able to get debug output from the error thrown when you right-click to create a bibliography. That error could be the cause of the freeze, depending on how Zotero and the word processor plugin are hooked together.

Also, there will be a free version

(Edited the previous post to include the rather important link to the plugin installer.)

@johannes.kruse: This is a disambiguation failure. I have prepared a plugin that you can install to provide some better debugging output. After installing the plugin, you should be able to process your document without error -- but this does not sol…
