I agree with adamsmith. My response was posted to an older version of the thread and I had not seen other responses. If all your PDFs are in "Readings", then just proceed with attach to file link, and when you have everything set up and working, swi…

To keep your PDFs organized your way, use the "Attach Link to File" option. You still get the full text search from the PDF. If you set up a "base" directory, then only the folder structure inside the directory matters. In Zotero 5, you can define t…

@dstillman I was wondering if you had a chance to look at this.

Yep, underlines are showing now. Thanks.

Grabbing SAE Technical paper metadata is back to sub-optimal and is behaving as described in the original post. Is this due to a change at SAE's end? Example: http://papers.sae.org/2009-24-0148/ http://papers.sae.org/2014-01-1594/

Using capitalization for differentiation, in general, does not seem like a good idea. Because it is somewhat ambiguous and might not stay different in other systems. What about "Fish" and "fish" if they are auto-imported tags, still treated as diff…

Could it be the difference between newline and carriagreturn-linefeed as implemented in Mac/Unix and Windows? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3091524/what-are-carriage-return-linefeed-and-form-feed http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/ascii-control-…

@dstillman, would be useful to have a general fix (not just this issue) where bad or missing metadata pops a warning, rather than what seems like saving but nothing happens. Not too bothered if no fix is provided specific to this incident since thi…

Issue confirmed on Zotero 5.0.17. I get a saving to My Library popup but it just stays at that for many minutes until I refresh or close the web page. BTW, do browser connectors have a version number independent of Zotero, and if yes, where do I fi…

Ok, thanks
-
I agree on the need to adhere to the "Keep it simple, stupid" principle
-
Ok, thanks. I'm not directly interested since I use linked attachments. But would be useful to many people and solves the Dropbox type issue for users who do not use linked attachments and do not wish to buy Zotero storage. I agree it's one more pa…

@dstillman Wondering if the dev team has something to add here...
-
@adamsmith Wasn't there some talk of a future feature that allows the storage folder to be located separate from the data directory? *IF* that happens then the storage folder could go to Dropbox. Right? @franzi.poldy, you could use the linked atta…
-
Thanks, Dan. Any recommended further action or just ignore? Zotero is working after I restarted it. Also, the plug-in seems to be working; I right-clicked an item and was able to update it's citation count.
-
I think this would be useful for me since many items in my library have institutions as authors. Frank (or someone else): could you please describe in a few sentences what this add-on does and how much work is required from me to make it work? Upda…

Tried but could not replicate it today. The affected notes are still showing 8/13, the day I reported this. It had happened a couple times before that. I will keep an eye out for this and update here.
-
Done, just sent an email to the developer.
-
Citations were updated correctly when I ran the feature from another computer (but the same library, sycned via account). However, it worked for a short window of maybe 10 items and then went back to "bad" update mode where it over writes an existin…
-
See https://www.zotero.org/support/storage Group storage limit is connected to the group owner's storage limit, not the storage limits of individual group members. For example, if the owner of Group A purchases an unlimited storage plan ($120/yr), …

More: When I drag-drop an item from My Library to a group library, the citation field changes from whatever number was there to "00000"
-
Did you use relative links on the old computer, too? If that's the case, and you have not changed the sub-folder structure, just assigning the correct relative base path on the new computer should suffice.
-
Yes, I am able to login to Google Scholar (GS) website. How does GS lock a computer out; is it based on IP? And even if it is locking me out, shouldn't the add-on know that? and if it knows that, shouldn't it then NOT update the data with the "0000…

I find that placing the browser connector icon immediately beside the browser address bar helps with work flow. In my browser it's the first icon after the address bar. No doubt, icons can be improved but until then, maybe playing round with placem…

"Unchecked the sync of the collection, checked the sync of the group." By collection you mean "My Library", right?
-
If I may ask, why even have two profile for this use case? Why not create two collections, called Archive and Current? Or, Use a group for Current, and My Library for Archive? But assuming you must have two profiles (say, "Current" and "Archive"), …
-
Ah, Yes, I changed that couple years ago (and prefer it that way, still).
-
If I click on the .PDF link, Firefox will download the PDF, but the webpage is completely blank and the Zotero Z is red. But I think that's fine since the link is to a direct PDF file, and there's nothing for Zotero connector to "sense". No?

Resetting data sync history did nothing. I did a drag-drop of the items from a saved search to My Publications. So far, everything looks fine.
-
Thanks, @dstillman . Any risk of creating new problems from resetting data sync history, or is it harmless? I could also just drag-drop the items to the My Publications at home, right? All of them show up in a saved search with myself as author. Wi…
