+1 on this suggestion. Several other threads discuss Searching Folder Names which helps locate a collection but doesn't help to focus the view on just the items you need or want to see.

Hello, interesting discussion on linked vs. stored libraries. What are thoughts on using Zotero to mange your active/working files? I have 2 different use cases for Zotero. [CASE 1] as a local desktop only document manager. In my work environme…

Awesome, Thank you! The ISO with seconds is working as desired. I couldn't get local dates to work, for example a search for [2023-03-19 22:11:48] will produce results but [3/19/2023, 10:11:48 PM] and the few variations I tried did not return resul…

I am not able to use the Repair Tool (company policy prohibits file uploads to external website) and unfortunately I no longer have access to the old computer so I am limited in my current options.

Update: Found and updated the profiles.ini file in the \AppData\Roaming\Zotero\Zotero and voila, profiles restored and databases open without error except for 1 database. Is there a workaround for “Database upgrade error”? The backup gives the sam…

Tried the first suggestion (copy profiles) and that did not work . The new folders were not recognized and I think that dialog pulls from an ini but I’m not sure where that ini might reside. I copied it into the Profiles folder but that did not ha…

Hello, I often want the functionality as well - ability to see items in a collection that do not have a particular tag. Is there any hope of seeing this enhancement? The last time the ticket was modified was 11 years ago. Being able to create se…

Since raising the issue, I have not been able to find a link on a public site. I also could not think of any way to query Zotero for potential examples. Here is a link from ASQ, it requires log-in to replicate the issue: https://asq.org/quality-…

I experience similar issues sometimes. It's frustrating because nothing indicates the operation failed and deleted your document! What I like about the "Rename Attachments" feature is that it can move files into a new directory structure. I would…
-
Thank you, @adamsmith ! This feature is so extremely useful and helpful. After creating the search, the drag/drop worked perfectly. I completely missed that as a requirement. It was a little counter-intuitive that the functionality would not b…

Hello - This does not work for me (for linked attachments). I have a collection, I select all (it selects the parent items), I drag/drop and nothing. If I hold CTRL and individually select the attached linked files and drag those, it will copy t…
-
Understandable. Maybe just providing the capability to select all of the attachments in the collection could provide equivalent functionality.
-
Has a way been developed to do this a little more efficiently? Following the instructions above, I selected my items (at the parent level) and drag/dropped to my windows desktop and nothing. But when I expanded all of the parents and selected each…
-
I finally found a solution for my issue, adding the get function: var collection1 = Zotero.Collections.get(CollectionID); hopefully this will save someone else alot of time.

I have a question about using multiple instances on Windows: The other day I think I was able to open multiple profiles just by adding the profile name in the command call. Today, I was not able to do that until I tried adding the -no-remote com…

Hello @adamsmith , I encounter this scenario quite often. Here is an example: I read an article (URL#1) that references a download resource (URL#2). URL#2 may be a PDF version of the article or it may be a supplemental resource for the article. …

@qqbb thanks for the tip about Storage Scanner.
-
+1 on this issue. 24h format is preferable and frees up screen real estate in the center pane. Optimal is providing users the option to define how the date/time format will appear in the center panel. I understand how restrictions on use entry ca…
-
Hello - I have a similar issue. For the documents I can find, using Zutilo seems to work although on my first attempt the two files stopped responding to zutilo right-click. Somehow the filename didn't get fixed properly and zutio would not allow…

What are the pros/cons of attaching multiple files to a single reference? Is there a best or recommended practice? I have attached multiple files to one item when I have multiple versions (e.g. drafts) of the same document. In general, I typica…
-
@dstillman, Thank you for the explanation. I was able to run the above code and the date/time display correctly in the return value window. But when I assign the value in d to the item's date Modified or Added the time is offset by -7 hours. For…
-
Thank you for restoring the batch-create functionality!
-
My current work around is to use the prior version 5.0.92. @dstillman: Many of my files are already locally stored on my computer. I drag/drop them in batch to add them to Zotero; then I will typically select the batch of files that have no pare…
-
Hello again. Thanks for the response dstillman. I have not been able to get a script to run successfully. What I would like to do is change the Date Modified of the attached file in the middle pane to reflect the file's date modified displayed in…
-
Hello, I am having a problem with "Create Parent Item" I have used this functionality when adding files from my computer for months, but today, when I click that option I am being prompted with an input screen to "Enter a DOI, ISBN, PMID, or arXi…
-
I have this problem as well. I was able to create a script to change the date but I can't figure out how to access the File's modified Date which does display in the file header information in Zotero's right pane. I found that to be a little confu…
-
Hello - I have this issue as well. It would be really useful to be able to choose a default behavior. For example, when adding a file attachment, I would like Zotero to use the date modified of the file as the Date value when creating parent item…

Thank you @bwiernik, @qqbb, and @emilianoeheyns It took me a few minutes to figure out how to install it, including the related discussion thread helped me figure it out. This import utility works exactly as I needed it to. I have a very large c…
