Thanks, @bwiernik 1. Usage contracts that allow sharing with colleagues do so because the access license that is providing you a copy of the article also covers your colleague working in the SAME organization. I am doubtful if usage contracts allo…

So, Dan, for Windows users the recommended location is: C:\Users\UserName\Zotero\ and NOT: C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Zotero

IF you have the original Word document, you could open it on a computer with Zotero and Word plug-in installed, and then look up the 'Document Preferences' in the Zotero tab in Word's ribbon interface. The citation style selected/highlighted is the …

Could someone share their experience of file sharing in groups? I am thinking if article PDFs are shared (in a Closed group), there might be two problems: 1. Copyright issues 2. Highlights and comments in the PDF will be shared/synced and if yes, wo…

I understand the need to focus on things that do not have any solution or something which is broken. But I still fail to understand how having links for Groups is served by file storage or file sharing. If groups are sharing copyright files, they a…
-
Also, just curious, why would my use case be rare? Does it not cover anyone who uses/prefers linked attachments? My understanding is that linked files, shared via Dropbox/OneDrive/GoogleDrive/etc, is a great setup since the files are synced fast, yo…
-
I agree, more elegant integration between group and personal libraries would be best. "Having links but not syncing them seems like a recipe for user frustration." Why? Links will sync for the same user across their computers but not across users. …
-
@adamsmith I did not understand "since it for the most part duplicates functionality that exists via Zotero file sync". Please elaborate. File sync does not work for linked attachments. And file sync is not possible for groups where PDFs cannot be …

@DWL-SDCA If I were the CEO of a major corporation, you'd be getting a press secretary job offer from me :) I use Zotero every day at home and at work, and love it. I have not participated in beta testing to avoid any serious disruption to what I d…
-
@diegonc Were you trying to export-import a part of your library or the entire library? If entire library, I am curious why you did not simply copy the entire Zotero data directory over to wherever you need it. The Zotero data directory can be locat…

Zotero Developers: This is great. Thank you for all the hard work!
-
Agreed, and that's why I prefixed "If nothing else", though I missed "works" in that phrase. Another extreme solution, again if nothing else works, could be to take a full backup, then delete everything from the local account, sync that account to f…
-
@adamsmith thanks and okay. You know how excited I get about 5.0 :)
-
Some thoughts: 2. That should not be the expected behavior. I think this is somethgin going wrong and someone will soon offer a fix/explanation. If nothing else, take a full backup of your local Zotero, and then do a reset with "Reset to Zotero Ser…

@adamsmith Will Zotero 5.0 make things better in terms of speed? If not 5.0, is that a planned future update?
-
Dan, What's the current tentative ETA for full public release of Zotero 5.0? Also, I am unable to do a "@yourname" for "Dan Stillman". All the combinations I have tried lead to broken or wrong reference.

I heard back from a person in the 'Discovery and Information Architecture' group at SAE. Here's what the email says: "We are in the process of updating out meta tags on our SAE.org and MOBILUS Digital Library to facilitate better data capture on bi…

Noticed another thread that looks related: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/252709

I sent an email to SAE and they responded promptly that the issue has been forwarded to the concerned team. Let's hope they can fix the metadata. SAE papers is an important source in my field and it would be nice to not have to make manual edits eac…

@suckale I would second what @bwiernik suggested about Tags. For many situations Tags are like Collections on steroids. And Tags work in AND mode, though I wish there was also a OR mode. Anyway, if all your items are tagged appropriately, and you se…
-
Ah, got it. Thanks.
-
@huangyc What happens when you right-click an item and click on the "update citations" menu item?
-
I am not sure if @Dan Stillman answered the OP's question. The OP wants to collapse all sub-collections but leave the primary collections visible and listed. Won't Dan's shortcut collapse everything, including the primary collections? @dchahim Have…

@Tsau017 I use Zotero's search features. I still keep my files organized because it's a habit and is a safe bet over long periods of time. The article PDF, in my mind, is a stand alone thing and should be named and organized for it's own sake. What …
-
@Tsau017 I will try with wildcard blank and see if it does nothing to the filename and yet moves the files (which is what I want). All my files are manually named to include keywords from the title. I don't think there are wildcards that are intelli…
-
I think the answer to my question is "No", but may be things have changed since I last checked. I use Zotero's "Link to File" to connect PDFs to my Zotero items. The PDFs themselves are stored in various research folder, but all under a base folder…
-
@gagarine, your best bet would be to store files outside of Zotero and use the "Link to File" option to attach the files to items in Zotero. I use that method and have found it to be the cleanest way to manage my burgeoning PDFs, while keeping my Zo…
-
@bwiernik and @adamsmith , if the OP only transfers metadata from Mendeley to Zotero, then, Zotfile is of no use, right? So, the correct procedure would be to: 1. Use an export format that allows metadata AND attached files to be transferred to Zot…
-
@adamsmith, just curious, how does Mendeley pull/create PDF metadata?
-
Would this be an appropriate workflow: 1. Take a full backup of your Zotero data folder. 2. Play around with SQL until you have achieved the desired state 3. Scrub the online Zotero library (since it won't show the changes made via SQL) 4. Re-sync (…
