I was previously in the camp that people aught not to be saving web pages because I had a hard time imagining why someone would save an article instead of the peer-reviewed publication. But over the years I've come to realize Zotero can be used as a…

I ran into this issue and deleting the extensions.json and extensions folder worked but is there a way to fix it without having to re-install and reconfigure all my addons?
-
When I do this to all my items zotero becomes unresponsive for such a long time I gave up because it seems completely frozen.
-
It's really a mystery how Zotero has no dark mode. Have devs been living in the dark ages? Apps with no darkmode is so 1999.

Hey @seeingtheforest, would you mind sharing that workflow? It could be handy to have around in some cases.

We ended up transferring the data folder to a new drive and symlinking it where the database is stored (on the SSD). The library is snappy now. Doesn't seem to have caused any problems in usability either. Please let me know if this will cause probl…

It would definitely be great to be able to reorganize saved searches, including placing them above instead of below all the collections. Saved searches make a lot of sense as organizational structures. It seems a much more versatile and modern way…
-
How exactly does that work? I have the beta, but when I do an advanced search it just returns a list of hits but there's no way to actually see more details without opening up the pdfs one at a time.
-
I've been turning to third-party solutions like FileLocatorPro for this kind of thing for a while now. Correct me if I'm mistaken, cjpoor, but it sounds like that's a search function for within a single pdf. I think the idea here is rather to have, …

I must say the current tool to duplicate items that auto-selects each bundle is very nicely done. But it would be really great to be able to automatically merge items whose only difference is the "Accessed" field. I'm not a programmer, but this sort…
-
Yes, in hindsight, it does seem like that's what I was asking for. But I'm realizing this won't work for me because I have a library of roughly ten thousand pdfs I'm trying to organize. Going through them one by one to identify which ones have more …
-
Well there goes any hope I had of not pulling all my hair out. Thanks for letting me know. I think I'll just give up on zotero then.
-
Well when you add PDFs and use the get metadata function it tries to extract relevant metadata and figure out the title, author, year and publisher and everything, right? I assume while it tries to read from the contents of the pdf itself, some of t…

edit: issue solved. The items were in use in another application. Once I closed it, zotfile started working again.

I'm seeking an alternative to qnotero, similar to Qiqqa's InCite feature. How does pyzolocal relate to qnotero? Is this something that could be used to develop a new qnotero? I'm also confused as to why, even after getting qnotero working, it won't…

A computer restart fixed the issue.
-
Yes, that would probably have been helpful. Currently running on Windows 7 SP1, Zotero 5.0.97 beta
-
It just seems like tags are supposed to be one of Zotero's main functionalities and having to do it this way does not feel like it's part of its main functions but maybe an alpha feature for people who might be interested in playing around with it. …
-
I suppose there lies the rub. Are there any plugins that do this without having to go this convoluted way? I've seen some that supposedly batch edit tags, but they seem to have been abandoned several years ago.
-
Most definitely a highly useful feature, if it were to be implemented. +1
-
Thank you for that, adamsmith. How about adding a new tag that doesn't exist yet, though?
-
I can confirm that such a feature would be useful, and second bwiernik's comment.
-
Could an option to select multiple pdfs or links and update metadata for them all instead of individually? I have a large number of linked pdfs whose metadata was not pulled but that gets pulled when I manually right click them and say update metada…

I would love to hear a response to llsico's question as well
