Oh - sorry, link: https://juris-m.github.io/downloads

As @adamsmith mentions above, this is covered in the Juris-M variant of Zotero (formerly known as "Multilingual Zotero (MLZ)"). It's done by applying an abbreviation to single-field creators when they carry a form="short" attribute. For an immediat…

Permissions apply to an entire library. There isn't a way to restrict access to documents in a collection (at least not one that is easy to maintain without error). An immediate solution might be to remove the confidential items to a group library …

It's a beta, I'm sure it will be. Looking forward to using GD integration in instruction. We have mooting teams that will likely be all over this when it goes live.
-
(The distinction is important for support triage, but the translators in the two are identical, and the translator code is closely aligned.)
-
I think that's a fairly easy to avoid scenario as things go.If concurrent citation operations put the integrity of the document at risk, I assume that some sort of locking mechanism will be added to avoid them in software.
-
D'oh! Sorry, my mistake.
-
@bwiernik I think you mean "BEFORE" maybe? In either case, @michaelkatell, you should be entering ordinary names in two-field mode. (edited)
-
It doesn't suck so bad. One item stored with a sentence-case title covers both cases. Sentence-case storage is recommended (very strongly) because it is easy (in code) to capitalize the non-preposition terms in a title. Styles that need the title-ca…
-
This is the effect of cite disambiguation, which is invoked (intentially) by the style you are using. If the names with added details all refer to the same author, editing the names in Zotero for consistency will fix it. Details here: https://www.z…

@dstillman Thank you very much for this, it is hugely helpful. We will contact the site maintainers. If things are resolved I'll post a word back here.

@adomasven Yes, no style is involved. The ODF Scan plugin works by unzipping the ODT file, mangling the XML with a series of regular expressions, and rezipping the file. (Sounds horrible, but converting the strings in the DOM would have been impossi…

I've received a fault report against the HeinOnline translator, using the new target-selector connector in Juris-M. I've confirmed that: (1) The fault (below) manifests with the new connector version in Zotero; and (2) The fault does not manifest w…

Thanks!
-
@adomasven This note has piqued my curiousity: You can transfer the document to LibreOffice using the RTF/ODF-Scan plugin. Are there steps that would convert from GD references to ODF Scan markers, or would this mean that a document intended for LO …
-
@Levrat Yes, Juris-M (or just JM for short) should do what you need. It is quite stable now, and its code is closely aligned with Zotero.
-
Happy to report that multilingual cite support works fine when JM is run with this.
-
Okay, so I lied. One more comment. :) @cl417 This has all been explained before. When you have time, go back and read through both of your threads. There is nothing new to add. If you want to be certain that nothing in your PC communicates over th…
-
@cl417 I won't post here any further after this, but a few notes to tie things off at my end. The only reference to "deleting folders" in the instructions from @adamsmith was the suggestion that you can safely remove the newly created profile. Sinc…
-
@adamsmith Apologies for the intrusion.
-
Returning to the topic of the previous thread, if it was me, I would look either at using Saved Search (suggested by @noksagt), or at creating groups online via a Zotero.org account, syncing to add the empty groups to the client, and then disabling …
-
(Finally, if you had moved your data files directly into your home directory, it would be worth moving them back to the standard ./Zotero subdirectory. That will reduce clutter, and help avoid accidental deletion of one or more of the files.)
-
Those additional files created in your data directory are created for all versions of Zotero. They are not a special product of v5.0.45. You can and should install the most recent version of the client after tidying up.
-
After confirming that you can access your library, you can use Finder to move the now-unused runtime files to the trash. After trashing the files, confirm that Zotero still runs normally, and you're done.
-
Then confirm that you can run Zotero in the normal way and access your library.
-
If both the former and the newly created profiles are both set to use the same Zotero data directory, you can delete the newly created profile from the menu, but when it asks whether you want to delete data files, do not delete them. That will remov…
-
Under the hood, Zotero Standalone is running on an instance of Firefox with the browser stripped away. Those many extraneous files that were added to your data directory are Firefox runtime configuration files. In ordinary operation, they are not vi…
-
Aha. I just tried this on MacOS, and it does indeed offer the option of selecting an arbitrary folder for the new profile. That's a trap for the unwary, and it really shouldn't do that. The data folder and the profile are separate things, and should…
-
With the command above, in the example shown in the screenshot, the Firefox runtime files would be placed in /home/bennett/.zotero/zotero/6ylfgq2e.Default User—not in the home folder (which would be /home/bennett on my system here). Did you instead…
-
Reading through the earlier thread, I'm puzzled how the Firefox runtime configuration files ended up in your home directory. When you set up the profile, did you run a command like ./zotero -P in the terminal, and get a popup like this? https://img…
