Awesome!

If you open the tag box (double-click on the little dots at the bottom of the left column) and type the name of the tag you want to add in the search box, that tag will show up above the search box; then drag all the ones you want to tag onto the ta…

On my netbook there's a simpler solution: just resize the preferences window (grab any edge and drag it a bit), and the top menu reappears. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it works.

In WIndows, I use Everything (that's a program name, from voidtools.com) -- a quite brilliant program that indexes filenames incredibly fast with very low cpu usage. You can easily create a saved search there for the zotero storage directory, which …

I figured it out! -- your question about the internet connection got me thinking. It's not a firewall, but I access Google Scholar through a proxy at Rutgers University, which then shows the Rutgers holdings and lets me get them immediately. But it …

Confirmed: it does not work for me -- "No matching references found."
-
Yes, it worked this time. Thanks.

I've tried again wit the database repair tool, no luck. I gave my debug report # above.
-
I have the same problem mentioned by several in the main part of this thread: can't empty the trash, get an error message "An error has occurred, restart Firefox." I've uploaded the debug report to Zotero server, # D507601691. (Before that, I tried …

I use Zotero fullscreen constantly (in Windows XP), and have only one minor complaint: the titlebar reads "Mozilla Firefox" rather than "Zotero," so I have trouble picking out the Zotero window from the taskbar or with ctrl-tab. This is peculiar bec…

OK, I did some testing -- it does seem to be a problem with read-only files (I imported 4 read-only pdfs, tried to rename them, got the problem described before in all of them; then imported four that were not read-only, renamed them, had no problem…
-
Yes, the renaming does seem to work -- a properly renamed file does appear when I follow through the "Locate" process, but it's no longer linked to the item. It may be only when the file is read-only -- I'm not certain whether there have been except…

The OS is Windows XP. It just happened to me again, so I have details for that episode. The original filename was 287.pdf; the new filename, when I finally got it right, was C:\Data\Zotero\storage\R47NW8IR\The Struggle for the Soul of Health Insu…

Thanks! I missed that.

Adding recursive capability to the quick search would be terrific. The additions suggested by Bioniatsci would be also nice but less crucial (for me, at least).
-
I often want to search for some criterion (tags, authors, etc) within a folder and its subfolders. Is there any way to do this without (temporarily) resetting the recursiveCollections preference, which is pretty clumsy?
-
I would request a small tweak to the new fullscreen option. When you go fullscreen from an existing Zotero window, the title bar becomes "Zotero"; but when you open with the zotero://fullscreen command, the title bar remains "Mozilla Firefox". This …

Thanks, I thought maybe I was just being dense -- I'll post something in the desired features section

Brilliant (as the British say)
-
"Create Parent Item from Selected Item" works for me on right-click of an unattached note, but not for an unattached PDF file. Am I doing something wrong?
-
Now to complicate life further, it's stopped working again, and now resetting the translators and styles no longer works! Yes, I have walked through the troubleshooting steps -- note that I do not receive an error message, and the troubleshooting …

I've come up with a workaround for now -- I put a note with the folder name in each folder, then search for the note and use the control-key method to find the folder.
-
My problem is not knowing whether there's a related reference unless I click on the tab, which one does not do in the normal course of events. Would it be possible to mark the tab in some way if there is a relation under it -- so you could see at a …
-
Thanks. Find-as-you-type is helpful as long as you know the first part of the folder name and there aren't too many others like it, but it's pretty clumsy if you use folders a lot, as I do to organize my thoughts. In Windows I often search (indexed …

You can do one or the other, but not both (I think). You can select all your files and drag them into the Zotero window: that will move them all into separate Zotero folders. Or you can create links to the existing items one at a time, as another us…
