We know Zotero 5.0 beta is available (yeah!): https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/59829/zotero-50-beta/ The feature I am most eagerly waiting for is "6. Will Groups allow "attach link to file" functionality?" @Dan or someone, can you pro…

It seems the issue here is items not showing up in a collection (what you call "project folders". By default, Zotero will save an item in the MyLibrary AND attach it to any collection which is highlighted while you are saving an item. If no col…

I'd like to try the Beta but do not wish to risk any corruption or issues with my existing Zotero database. I could test the 5.0 beta on a spare computer or I could create a new Firefox profile on my main computer. In either case, I will create a ne…

@bwiernik, Since everyone is logging with the same login id, they would be working in their personal library, though personal here does not really mean "one person". I was thinking relative paths but did not make it clear. Have not used Zotfile's su…

Instead of sharing database, can the attachments be located on a network drive? Any issues with this scenario: All employees sign-on with the same user login, and thus, have a copy of the data directory on their computer. As they work, the da…

I moved to a new computer with Windows 10 and am unable to install the prevent duplicates and item history add-ons. When I point Firefox (47.0.1) to the .xpi files, it gives a warning, lets me proceed with the installation, and I see the restar…

Do you get any speed benefits if you minimize the Tags window? I've heard having the Tag window open can slow down Zotero. Also, I wonder if choice of citation style can make a difference - such as using a number based style versus author-date style.
-
@zuphilip Yes, same issue. Thanks for linking the other thread.
-
Thanks, Dan. Any plans of expanding file types in future?
-
Thanks, Dan. I'll go ahead and keep updating until we hit FF 48.
-
Thanks, Dan. I should have reached that conclusion myself. Not sure why I thought it will try to sync the PDF. But the file sync options are right below and separate! I was actually plesantly surprised how quickly it rebuilt my index. It cleare…

@adamsmith, @Dan I'm holding up FF 47 update to keep Prevent Duplicates plugin running. Think someone can get it signed ASAP? Thanks!

"This becomes even more confusing when you drag and drop the item from the Group Library into a subcollection of My library, you are allowed to "copy" it there, but what actually happens is, that only your local copy gets referenced to that subcolle…
-
Ah, thanks!

What I mean is that I see "Attach Link to File.." but not "Link to File..."

Dan's post about Zotero 5.0 alpha: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/zotero-dev/dX2gMoOSwRs Dan: Any ETA for beta and public release?
-
Dan, I do not see a "Link to File..." option in my Zotero for Firefox 4.0.29.10. Did you mean "Attach Stored Copy of File..."?
-
Thanks, Dan! Just to be sure, did you mean the workaround will work until (but NOT including) FF47?
-
I am holding out and not updating to FF 46.0.1 @adamsmith, think you can get the prevent duplicates add-on signed?
-
Dan: The Tag selector slowdown issue - will this improve in 5.0?
-
Dan, when can the system suggested by you be implemented? Now, next month, 3-6 months later, next year? Would be nice to have a sense of the time frame so I can keep group admins informed.

In Word 2013, You can highlight fields by: File > Options > Advanced > Show Document Content > select Always for 'Field shading' You can also browse fields by: Hit F5 to bring up the 'Find and Replace' menu. In the "Go To' …

I can live with anything that guarantees URLs will continue to work.
-
I still think number is better than group name. The small benefit of human readable URL is outweighed by a robust URL. Groups evolve with time and name changes are not out of question. Also, a group name such as "Transportation Energy, Emissions, an…
-
@fcheslack, thanks. I feel strongly about this and believe using group names is not the right way. In fact, it is frightening to know all your past URLs will become useless if you ever rename the group. The primary and absolutely inviolabl…
-
The group name is not truly permanent because when you change the group name at any point, boom, all your previous URLs are now broken. The above group in my example was called "Energy and Emissions". I wanted to name it "Transportation Energy …

**edited** Thought again and realized this won't work. Because the items are duplicate but NOT the exact same item. Tag all items in sub-folder 1 with some unique tag, lets call it "tag 1" and all items in folder 2 with another unique tag, call…

Thanks, @adamsmith.

Just checking if this might get fixed soon.
