There isn't sufficient time to identify the exact issue and (if this is a bug) offer a solution. Edit manually.

Post a sample URL that doesn't show the download icon.

By default, separate browsing histories are preserved for each collection. If you select another collection, you open a separate history for that collection. If you want everything in one sequence, set the anchor (IIRC it's from a right click menu o…

Not exactly. Dan has indicated that the core team is open to patches that improve RTF scan support. For many features, he would not extend that invitation. So that's a green light. This does suggest, though, that the core developers are busy with o…

Clicking on the Z icon has no effect? The horizontal bar does not have a text field into which you can type a search string?
-
Ah, I see. I misread and thought you were referring to a suffix on the author name. The requirement is clear. As the other threads on this indicate, there are technical challenges in implementing the maintenance of author names in the main text via …

@hplieninger: That's the first I've heard of such a style. Can you point us to a style guide that has this requirement?
-
(Picked up your other thread, sorry. Have responded over there as well.)

Julian: thanks for this feedback. That's it, yes. Currently, the client refuses to recognize the user-entered locator unless there is a preloaded value in the Section field. I can see the case against this nannyism, and I'll loosen that up when the …

Julian: Great to hear that you're trying out the MLZ client and styles. They are still experimental, but stable enough to start being useful. Feedback on the international law types would be great to have at this point. Locators on statutory types …

Julian, Depending on how adventurous you are, you might like to take a look at the MLZ styles. As adamsmith says, the Wisconsin Court Style is built to format things according to the Uniform System of Citation. It is an experimental project, but co…

the part-of-a-book-entries indeed looked much better. But there are still some things to be changed (see the example at the top of this topic).You'll have to be more specific. I clicked on the +-sign under styles in the preferences. Zotero asked me,…

Very easy.
-
Right. The delimiter-only versions were swapped in, and didn't have the text-case="title" attributes installed. We'll put that back.
-
I don't know. Could it have dropped out during the refactoring?
-
If you are in the research game for the long term, then factors like sustainability, support markets and community are probably more important than short-term pricing. The $6.00 price tag on ZotPad doesn't seem unreasonable; the developer who mainta…

If titles are capitalizing automatically with Chicago Fullnote with Bibliography, you must have an older version of the style installed; the current version in the Zotero repository does not apply "title case" to titles. To update the style, visit t…

Click on the "Inbox" link on zotero.org, it should be there. If not, I'll just post the address here.
-
Mail sent. Which style are you using? (Specifically, is it MHRA or MLA?)
-
Okay, these sound like small teething troubles. I'll send you a message via zotero.org, which should come through in your mail. Send back your mail address and I'll help sort through the details. I can supply you with a copy of the style that does n…

If the file is arriving intact, it looks like a problem in your local settings for opening the file. This comment by Dan may be helpful. To trace things back, in Firefox check Edit -> Preferences -> Applications, scroll down to the PDF Documen…

It will take some more time. To clarify my comments in the thread above, there are three layers to date processing: (1) The site translators take (sometimes messy) human-readable dates listed in target pages and convert them to an orderly internal …
-
Great. I've posted it as an issue.
-
There are variations between styles as well. Style-level test suites would be an efficient way of assuring or encouraging consistency.
-
There is also this, if you're interested. I think it might still be slipping up on some of the item types that are virtualized inside Zotero, but it's mostly right. https://bitbucket.org/fbennett/zoterofieldmap/overview (I posted it in the hope …

I've adapted the patch and posted it as a tracker issue here. It's implemented as left-click from label, rather than right-click on name. It could be re-jigged to run from the other context, the code for the switch would not change. Dan: thanks, I …
-
Okay, I've added a name-swapping feature to the multilingual variant (MLZ), in the left-click menu from the creator label. The UI code for MLZ differs somewhat from that of official Zotero, and the patch will not apply cleanly, but it could be adapt…

Another thing I'd like to have is hot-key support for pushing individual characters from family to given name and vice-versa. Names in Chinese glyphs are often provided as a single unit with no delimiter, and it's a headache to split them up with cu…
-
If no one picks this up, I'll probably give it a try sometime soon. I'm working with an unsighted friend over accessibility, and one of the first things we've encountered is a need for hot-key switching between the three columns of the Zotero displa…

@Arithmeticus: Interesting questions. The best use of the language field is to indicate the language of the underlying work. The case you raise, of a source written in one language, but titled in another, is beyond the scope of current language sup…
