LOL. I am quite forgetful. To be fair, I keep a lot of the information within the pdf itself (highlighting, annotated pdfs) - so, interesting articles get opened more frequently to double-check on key ideas/concepts. This might be particularly tr…

Ok. Nice. Thanks. -Alex

Wow, that was quick Dan! I figured it out, and came back here to delete question (it is stated in Download instructions) but perhaps I'll keep it in case somebody else misses it. Thanks, -Alex

I wasn't clear. I know that. I was just expressing my opinion that it should be on the main page. I like to open the main Zotero page, see if there are news and double-check that the version hasn't changed. That is all.
-
One thing I find missing is the most current version of Zotero (on the home screen). Disappointing.
-
@asplundj: Ah! Never thought of that. Ok. "Problem" fixed! :-) Thanks!
-
Thanks Dan. That was it indeed. I have no idea what the trade-offs would be but I've always expected that a stored local page should be a "snap-shot" and, thus, static, unencumbered by javascript stuff. So my gut feeling is that it would be a good i…

Alright, just bumped into this problem. Apparently the bug is not fixed it. (v. 2.0.3). Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac. As a work-around, I used search-and-replace to change the superscripted citations back to normal size font: (make sure to backup …

Oops, I meant the superscript citation not getting reset when we switch to a style that doesn't use superscripting. I.e. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/10883/bug-switching-from-superscript-to-apa-results-in-superscript-citations/#Item_1 Perhaps…

Alright, just bumped into this problem. Apparently the bug is not fixed it. (v. 2.0.3). Can anybody suggest a work-around? This looks like a pain to fix (I have _many_ references already entered in the document). Thanks.
-
I think 1) may be fixed. But I just wanted to bump 2). There should be GUI feedback while the PDF is being downloaded (unless that is technically unfeasible or has some drawback I don't realize...) Thanks, -Alex
-
Ah, ok. That works! Now I have 2 minor Feature Requests vis-a-vis PDF downloads. I'll give them their own threads but in a nutshell: 1) Allow us to right-click on link to pdf to "save pdf to selected zotero entry" 2) Feedback in zotero window th…

I tried that and it doesn't download the pdf. It creates a browser link instead. For example you can try the one I mentioned before: http://mcb.asm.org/cgi/content/short/21/1/164 Thanks, -Alex

Hi Adam, Yeah, I forgot to respond to that option (display pdfs in browser). Even doing that, those sites end up with pdfs in the browser that I can't drag to Zotero (i.e. the link in the address bar is not the link to the pdf but still to the sc…
-
But back to the topic: I don't really mind steps 1-3. The real problem, annoyance comes with steps 4-5, when the journals website does NOT link directly to the pdf file. In those cases, dragging the pdf link to the Zotero item creates a link to the …

On the Mac I just use the built-in Preview. The latest version (comes with Snow Leopard) lets you annotate to your heart's content. On the Windows side I use(d) "pdf-xchange" (which I liked far better than Adobe's product).
-
Right, if there's a snapshot you currently have to click the URL label. We've talked about having the double-click/View behavior be configurable between the URL and the snapshot—it's a possibility. Ah, ok, I didn't realize I could just click on UR…
-
"heterogeneous in what way? Some sites provide mediocre data & some issues may be fairly cosmetic (i.e., citing them from Zotero may often produce identical citations, whether the data is from PubMed or the publisher). But there may be some issu…

"you can shortcut 5)-6) with using zotfile http://www.columbia.edu/~jpl2136/zotfile.html" That's true - I had it installed on my PC before. I just thought that Zotero had made the automatic renaming a feature in later updates. (side question: how …

Dan Stillman said: "If there's no snapshot, double-clicking the item in the middle pane or clicking the View button in the right pane should take you to the URL in the URL field. You can also click the "URL" label to the left of the field in the rig…

Just to add my voice to this issue. I also observe inconsistent, erratic numbering for multiple citations. i.e.: (7, 14-17, 13). At some point, it would be very nice to be able to add citations to a list of citations already in text and have t…
-
Salish, A comment as far as your workflow: I do step 4 (download metadata) exclusively from Pubmed. The reason? Different publishers = different zotero translators. A while back I realized/decided that I was getting different data from diff…
-
Keith - I like your suggestions and I like your plugin. Nicely done. The page that describes the features is also crystal clear. Thanks for sharing your plugin with the Community. -Alex

Hi Dan, Ok, thanks for looking into it. Motivated by your comments, I learned how to look directly in the zotero.sqlite database myself and did some detective work using my daily backups of Zotero. Result: I think you're right…
-
Ah, this is a great idea. Will do. I'll send 2 examples. Syncing... I have turned off Zotero syncing. Instead, I am doing syncing via "Windows Live Sync". Question: is there a way to automatically determine what items in storage have b…
-
I see that too. In fact, I think it was mentioned in another post that I don't see now. The only difference is that I do have a way to "fix it" (sort of) - just resize the middle pane until the missing pixels "pop" back into view. Of course, if…
-
Hi Dan, Thanks, I had missed that. I believe it got fixed at some point in my Sync Preview edition. And, as an FYI, the problem is not getting fixed by restarting firefox. Thanks, -Alex

The pubmed translator is broken again. Exact same error (or at least description - "can't add invalid tag 2"" Report ID: 1777493063 [JavaScript Error: "Cannot add invalid tag 2 in Zotero.Item.addTagByID()" {file: "file:///C:/Documents%20and%2…

Excellent. That's what I was hoping. I have plenty of experience with Foldershare so I'll try to go that route (and hopefully when MS changes Foldershare to something called "Windows Live Sync" -apparently in a few days- they won't break it...)…

Hi Dan, I ended fixing the problem. I didn't systematicaly investigate how to fix it. Among the things I tried that eventually may have fixed the problem - removal of offending item from library at W. Restarting of Firefox on W. In addition, …
