I agree on issues related to duplicate copies, one in your My Library and another in My Publications. Ideally, there should be a way to label items in My Library as "My Publication". Maybe through a fixed tag (that cannot be deleted or edited by use…

On my work computer, Zotero 5 Beta is significantly slow. I am seeing delays in populating the rightmost panel when I click an item and significant delay when I start to type a tag name. With 4.0.29.x, the tag matches happen instantly and as I type.…

Zotero Standalone Version: 5.0-beta.157+82b789e On: Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit 1. Zotero Preferences > General: Clicking on "Update now" for translators and styles either does nothing or changes to "Error". Could this be related to the Amazon AWS out…

Think of My Publications as an independent library that you maintain to populate the list of your publications on your profile page. You are right that the update to an item in your My Library will not show up for the same item in My Publications, b…

Click on the dark brown folder icon (with a small black arrow) above "My Library" then "New Feed..." followed by your feed type. Screenshot: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Atcr8aCyjBrulKF9SwFr2QlOYp-57Q Here are some "From URL.." type RSS feed examples: htt…

@dstillman Ok, thanks. I just recreated the error by selecting the "unindexed files" saved search. Report ID: 438057267 Error Screenshot: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Atcr8aCyjBrulKF5GmZrIaBz0rxluw NO Error Screenshot: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Atcr8aCyjBrulKF7_…

Update: A couple more restarts of Zotero 5.0 Beta and things look much better. I am noticing that overall the speed of displaying the contents of a collection or saved search is better than 4.0, BUT sometimes it can take much longer (for the same co…

I upgraded my work computer to Zotero 5.0 Beta and ran in to some issues. This computer is Windows 7 64-bit and before the upgrade I had Zotero 4.0.x Firefox and Standalone. After the upgrade I have Zotero 4.0.x Firefox and Zotero 5.0 Beta. The Fire…

"Startup is currently significantly slower in 5.0 — we're working on that, but for now with a large library you'd want to leave Zotero open when possible instead of closing and reopening frequently." @dstillman Can you give a sense of database sizes…
-
Thanks. This feature isn't something required in my field (engineering), except may be when writing a book.
-
@adamsmith Do you think category based bibliography will come to Zotero5.x?
-
Could you clarify what you mean "base catalogue" and "data folder"? By default, the entire Zotero data and files are stored in a folder called "zotero". Inside this folder, there are the database files with extension ".sqlite" and other backup file…
-
Might be worth checking, if the "lost" collection did not get drag-dropped inside another collection or sub-collection.
-
I was able to reproduce the error once, but not thereafter. The first time I clicked on the book link, my translator only had options for "Save to Zotero as Web Page", and clicking on the icon created a web page entry. Next, I deleted all extra info…
-
Are the PDFs directly attached to your Zotero item, as in, are they stored in your Zotero storage folder? Or, are the PDFs attached using the link to file feature, in which case the PDFs can be anywhere on your drive? If they are all in the storage…
-
I am not too sure, but one trick was to create your report from a collection. The report will be sorted as your collection contents are. If you are creating a report from search results, copy the results to an empty collection, sort the collection t…

@DWL-SDCA At my end, 5.0 Beta does not provide a much needed missing feature or fix a troubling bug in 4.0.29.x. On the other hand, the Prevent Duplicates and Google Scholar add-ons do not work with 5.0. Thus, I am eagerly waiting for 5.0, but there…
-
@bwiernik My question was if I can "try" 5.0 on a computer running 4.0.29.x. I am not too sure I want to switch my home or work computer since I use Zotero daily on both. The fact that they can sync to the same account is a double edged sword. Overa…
-
This is very helpful, thanks! Maybe I should transition to 5.0 Beta first so I can better advise the new users. I am still at 4.0.29.x, and that was to avoid any disruption to my work/library from changes during beta stage. 1. I recall reading some…
-
That's great, thanks. I am asking a bunch of people to install Zotero and many are new to bibliography/reference management tools in general. What, if any, should be my concerns and 'watch out for' when the upgrade rolls out? Will 4.0.29.x users se…
-
What is the transition path to Zotero 5.0 for users on Zotero 4.0.29.x? When ever the full public release of 5.0 happens, will it be a simple, single-step, upgrade for even new users of Zotero? Or, are we expecting a more involved upgrade path?
-
That was a nice discussion. Here's an alternate approach based on the assumption that for most users it is a small subset of "words" that need to be a certain way in the title. This could include chemical names with super-/sub-scripts. So, could …
-
I understand that. What about converting only dictionary words to sentence case, and leave out any word that is all caps or has numbers or not a dictionary word as-is?
-
Would it be better to have all translators store items only in sentence case? Obviously, the citation style will convert to title case if a citation requires that.
-
BTW, how do you look at the metatags and related information for a webpage - do you look at the page sourcecode? Edited: Ok, I can see the metatags by looking at the page source (CTRL+U in Firefox) and noticed the empty description tag like you sai…
-
Ok, will do. Thanks.
-
Ok, thanks! I understand you want me to write to someone at NASEM or TRB. I'll do that. What (type of) department or person should I write to? Also, what is the best way to describe such issues - should I tell them to fix the metadata tags and field…
-
Based on my small survey, over 90% of the intended group members have never used Zotero and over 50% have not used any bibliography management tool. They don't have a personal library to replace. If I am the only person who has asked for links that…
-
Thanks. I notice the difference in language for "academic or government institution' vs "corporate organization", where the former includes private workgroups (but only on partner sites) and the latter does not. Zotero groups are closer to private w…

Assigning colored tags by number key - thanks, did not know that!
