@adamsmith: Think you'd be able to have Prevent Duplicates signed before Firefox drops the current workaround?
-
Thanks, LiborA. I recall a comment in another thread that Dan does not favor the use of curly feature in the extra field. That discussion was about adding DOIs to items that do not have DOI field in current version of Zotero. Is there a li…

I am an engineer, what Dan said earlier is not quantitative enough. Fuzzy words don't excite me as much ....
-
adamsmith and Dan: Thanks, that's more helpful. "There could be a 5.0.5, or a 5.1, or a 6.0 with lots of new features a FEW MONTHS after that." (caps mine) You could have just said that earlier in the discussion :) I am a Zotero evang…

A major update not having most (if any) of the top features that have been requested for five or more years isn't really what I'd define as sacrificing "instant gratification." There is always a balance between end-user features and backend upd…

Rintze, bwiernik, and Dan: Thank you for the responses. I understand the need to rethink the architecture and Dan commented elsewhere that the test suite has over 500 (unit?) tests. That's impressive. But please also understand where users are …

No to all except 5? That's disappointing. May be the first release is all about laying the foundation for enabling faster and better updates in future. But really, its been a while since Zotero has had major new features added and I was hoping …

Thanks, adamsmith. I am most interested in these issues wrt Zotero 5.0 (Z5): 1. Will we have batch editing of fields such as author name or journal name? 2. Will it be significantly faster when inserting citations in large Word docume…

Along the same lines, it would be nice to have a range for dates in conference paper type. For example, March 13-16, 2016.

Related thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/42379/warn-user-if-browser-importing-citation-from-journal-website-that-already-exists-in-library Is there a better way to mark threads as "related"?

When is FF46 expected? This page says April 19, 2016: https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar Associated thread: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/52608/future-direction-of-zotero-firefox-addon

Hi adamsmith, any chance you'd be able to get to this soon? Thanks in advance!
-
bwiernik, how is that add-on better/easier than the controls in Zotero's Preferences > Proxies menu?
-
Ok, got it. Thanks!

This was very helpful. My understanding of Standalone was incomplete. I did not know that most FF add-ons could be installed in to Standalone. With that correction, my concerns are mostly answered. If at a future date I am forced to move to Chrome, …
-
Thanks, Dan. I am glad to hear these things. Since I have invested significant time and effort in Zotero and it meets all my needs, I am trying to avoid a situation where I am forced to pick between Zotero and a browser. My understand of Standa…
-
Thanks, that's helpful. I am not claiming any specific market share numbers, rather probing the issue and looking in to the future regarding Zotero's acceptance/growth because of platform issues. I have mostly used Zotero with Firefox and very …

Thanks, adamsmith.
-
Great, thanks. No rush since the temporary fix (xpinstall.signatures.required to False) is working fine.
-
Wondering if someone could (or has) look in to this?
-
Just checking if there is an update for this issue.

The item is saved to the collection (and its library) you have selected in your Zotero window. That is, click the collection in your Zotero library and then click the icon in your browser to save an item - the item will be saved to the collection yo…

Ok, thanks. Should have seen it before but it was being cut-off by my Zotero window and I did not scroll down.
-
The wait is killing me :( .... but I am sure it will be worth the wait :)
-
"Zotero 5.0 should be available in beta within the next couple months" Did I miss the beta announcement? If not yet announced, can we have an ETA for the beta?
-
"the "added by" column is available in the regular library view for a group on the webpage for all items" Where? I can't seem to find it, except group home page with latest additions.
-
Yeah, just noticed that feature at the bottom of the group landing page. I created a test discussion: https://www.zotero.org/message/viewdiscussion/421534 Doesn't seem as clean or featured as the Zotero forums format...right?
-
Also, with collections, the research being done by one team will be fully transparent to other group members, which you may not want. BTW, do groups allow for group specific discussion forum?
