• An alternative for people in the Academic world that I use, is Browzine from Thirdiron. It is available for both the phone (app) and computer (webapp). It is just a digital Journal reader, thus not a RSS reader. When you connect your Academic accou…

• @adamsmith, it seems that this is precisely my point: LO recognise the url _after_ adding a space. Is there a way to have the url automatically without adding the space? Aka, is this a Zotero thing or a LO thing to solve?

  in Zotero does delete the item, but not the file Comment by 86ul December 14, 2021
• Thanks for your quick reply. As I have special drive for Zotero and use Zotfile to attach a file to an item and/or rename a file, then I have a lot of linked files that belong to a deleted item. What is the best way to delete these 'item-less' f…

• Hum weird, because when I select the file of a parent item, and drag it to Thunderbird and release my left mouse when the hand is in the attachment box, no files are attached. But 1) I am using a older version of Zotero (5.0.96) and 2) the drag/drop…
