I think I'm having this issue as well.
-
@jeapordy Unfortunately I don't have the faintest recollection of what I did. Sorry.
-
I'm aware of and use Zotilo, but it isn't nearly as convenient as Mendeley and many other applications where you can just select items in the library and batch edit the fields directly.
-
I would love this as well
-
If I'm understanding you correctly, the "subfolders" are actually just collections. Each item can be in any of the collections - just drag it to the one you want it in, and delete/remove it from the previous one
-
I'd love F2 for renaming the title of an item
-
Yeah, it created duplicate collections. Not the end of the world... at least I can relatively easily drag to the originals and delete the duplicate ones.
-
Thanks, I'll confirm later.
-
@qqbb Wow, I didn't know you could separate/remove attachments from parents like that - I thought they were "stuck" with their parent once "born"! The only problem is that I want to maintain the collection/folder structure that I have set up - the…
-
Thanks for the quick reply, as always. I have found a bit of a workaround workflow that will make it possible, but a bit tedious, for me to achieve this.
-
I didn't know that was possible. Anyway, its not helpful here - I restarted Zotero weeks ago. I'm simply wondering if there's some sort of batch process that can set the parent item name/title to be the filename, while maintaining all the other me…
-
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I added a lot of attachments, then created parent items, then retrieved metadata. Some parent item metadata titles are useless, so I'd like to set the title to the linked filename. Is this possible in any way? I got the impres…
-
@Dalek I have many attachments whose metadata retrieval failed, so I'm left with many parent items with useless names. I'd like to rename them as the filenames. I am trying to use Zotfile to do this, as you seem to have done, but can't figure it ou…
-
I have a related problem - I actually want Zotero to retrieve the metadata and change parent item name for 15000+ PDFs. It had success with many, but there's a large amount of items with nonsensical or even just plain wrong metadata/names. For those…
-
Yes, but it would be nice to be able to Ctrl+Click a tag (or something like that) to apply an "Is Not" search filter (which is, what I assume, clicking a tag does ).
-
This would be very nice. I'm surprised it isn't already possible
-
Thank you
-
@johnmy those look cool. How do we use them? Copy them one at a time and run the code? Or can they be saved within a menu item by an addon?
-
I'd also love to be able to format the extracted annotations. Some sort of settings template that we could customize with placeholders for various fields would be perfect.
-
My workaround for this is to have a tag named Delete and have assigned #1 color priority to it, so that it gets labeled when I press 1. Then I can periodically filter for that Tag, bulk "Convert Linked Files to Stored Files", then select all and Mo…

I solved it with the Zotero Folder Import add-on (https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-folder-import) and the copy utility here (https://vovsoft.com/software/copy-files-into-multiple-folders/) to copy a text file to every subfolder, allowing the col…

I agree, this would be very helpful

I agree, this would be very helpful

@dstillman Thanks and understood. A related thought: will there be a way to customize how the "Add Item Note from Annotations" formats the note using a template? I could see it being desirable to many people to be able to style (bold, italics, etc…
-
@martynas_b Thanks for the reply! 2. I would want it to focus the comment box whether it is empty or has a comment that I want to edit. I see no downside to focusing it in either case. 6. Because I export the notes/annotations to use in other ap…
-
This functionality is amazing - it was the last thing remaining that I preferred about Mendeley and will greatly streamline my workflow across a few different applications. Thanks so much for such a slick interface while still in beta! Some observa…
-
I strongly agree with @adamsmith 's comment about updating annotations rather than creating a duplicate. Though I have nothing to contribute to the discussion about whatever wizardry you'd need in order to implement it...

A thought regarding the size of Item vs All Notes: 1) have a draggable resize thingy so you can make one or the other bigger or smaller 2) have a button to collapse/expand each of the Notes sections.
