There was hardly anything to sync, since the Zotero Firefox at home was already fully synced. Everything except My Publications looks fine and synced between home and work. What's a full manual sync? I clicked the sync button a couple times. My Pu…

I noticed this issue last week while helping a colleague. If I right-click the connector icon and select the "Save to Zotero (DOI)" option, it saves as journal article and gets most but not all metadata. I just tested it for EI Compendex and it is …

I do not know if Zotero's Report ID and/or Debug ID capture issues related to add-ons, but those are additional options to help diagnose the issue. https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems https://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output

I was able to extract all highlighted and comment bubble annotations from that PDF. While extracting, Zotfile shows a progress window in bottom-right, where under progress is marked by an incomplete circle. Zotero 5.0.10 with Zotfile 5.0.4

So, the problem is with only one file? Do other files from PLoSOne work fine? You can upload the two files to an online storage and post the link here.

I could not reproduce this in 5.0.11. I tested with all three options in the search drop-down menu. Is your indexing complete? See Preferences > Search. Does the behavior changes based on your selection in the search drop-down menu?

@marsh A full backup would be to copy the entire Zotero directory (with all its files and sub-folders) to at least one, preferably two, external drives. The Zotero directory can be found from: Preferences > Advanced > Files and Folders > S…

I hope a near-term update allows for much better sync of items across libraries, and until then, the user must be allowed to drag and create duplicate items. I often add journal articles when first published, and at that point volume, issue, and pag…

I edited the post to include "feature request" in the title

Thanks, Dan. Tested in 5.0.10 and working fine.

For my own learning, can the OP use a method to bulk update the journal abbreviation field, for a given journal? I would assume there are maybe 10-20 journals where the field is not imported, or that form the bulk of journal items. So, running the b…

Thanks, @willshanks

@dstillman Could you please comment on this?

What is the file extension for the RIS file? I've seen the file downloaded with .txt. If that's the case, change it to .ris and see if the file opens in Zotero.

Thanks, @bwiernik 2) Now working for me in Chrome on Windows 10. It was doing a Google search and your tip fixed that. 3) and 4) Nicely explained!

I created a zotero://select link for an item from a computer running 5.0 and tested it on a computer running 4.0.29. Both machines are Windows 10 and I tested in Firefox. On the 4.x system, pasting the zotero://select link in Firefox will open the Z…

@dstillman Thanks, tested and works fine now. Will this work for group libraries and across all users of that library? Will this work in Chrome and Safari, too?

@marsh I am speaking from Windows experience. I have Zotero 5.0.x on one machine and Zotero Firefox 4.0.29.x on another, and they sync and work with each other without any issues. I have had this setup for about 6 months now. Hanging on to 4.0.29 on…

Thanks, @bwiernik Those are really helpful. Though I seem to agree, for now, using Tags might be the most convenient. Regarding Item URI: That takes you to the online entry for an item. Very useful when sharing bibliographic information with a non-…
-
@dstillman I think you'll can take more credit than that. Sure, the change was precipitated for technical reasons, but the change in itself is a good thing (even if the technical reason never existed). And you kind of acknowledge that in the blog po…

Just checking if this has been noticed.

@andrehmbezerra And what exactly don't you like? Having to download and install? Which you were doing in any case even with the Firefox version, but maybe never realized. Zotero's most ardent users and community contributors are in agreement that s…
-
"those of us who never had a local install of the desktop version up until now" That might not be wholly correct. You still had a local Zotero running, just that it was working within the confines of Firefox. A few people only use the Zotero website…

@wkroy It's hard to change workflows, but sometimes the (forced) changes are for the better. I was die-hard Zotero FF but have adopted the new Zotero 5.0 (only comes in Standalone flavor) and have no regrets. As of today, the old and new Zotero migh…
-
@adamsmith Will there be a portable 5.0 that can reside fully and work from a USB flash drive? Can that solve situations where Zotero cannot be installed without Admin rights?

Regarding the high DPI issue, this might be useful: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/34352/support-for-high-dpi-ppi-screens-on-windows#latest

**update** If I change the extension of the downloaded file from .txt to .ris, and then double-click it, I get a popup asking if I wish to import the file, and there is an option to create new collection. If I leave that option unchecked, Zotero cre…

I reported to SAE that grabbing metadata from MOBILUS was still not perfect. SAE's response: "We currently have a development on the roadmap for Embedded data on details pages. The main purpose for that is to provide semantic information to search c…

@Joaosilveira From my own experience I can say that you will come to like the 5.0 Standalone even more than the old Firefox version. The new platform brings a few new features already, BUT the important thing is that it is forward looking and craft…
