• After reading this thread, it sounds like the following complementary uses of Standalone (ZSA) and browser-based (e.g. ZFF) could work nicely: 1. Run ZSA when I am writing and inserting citations from my library to my word processor--and close ZFF…

• That would be good, except call number isn't an available field for web pages, which we need to reference as well. Too bad it doesn't; even interview has call number, I see. Any secret way to enable call number for web pages?

• The general public will be accessing a terminal and will not be familiar with Zotero, so I want the display they see to be as self-explanatory as possible. We are writing some instructions, though, where we can explain "Language" means "Reference nu…

• "What's your tolerance for the complexity of this? It will entail changing and re-packing source code." Probably not high enough, but if you are willing to spell out the steps, at least generally, maybe it would be worth a try. "Also, you will ru…

• Thanks. Is it possible to override the editable flag without a plugin, say, by editing zotero.sqlite directly? I haven't tried standalone because I haven't wanted to use it while in beta, since stability is important in a public kiosk. What wou…

• Can you say when 3.0 expected to be out of beta? I'm a little concerned about it introducing new problems while it is still in beta.

• Thanks for the response. As I test, I moved my library out of Dropbox and back into the Firefox profile default location. The sync appeared to get farther, but eventually resulted in an error (Report #1325002289) about a different file that could no…

• I should add that I moved my Zotero folder to an alternate location--inside my Dropbox folder. I wonder if that is contributing to the problem. My goal is to have backups, since Dropbox saves prior versions of any files it syncs. But Dropbox c…
