Thanks, adamsmith. I think there are a couple other examples. I'll post here when I find/remember them.

Seems to be an error on how/what you deleted. Can you describe what you did? You can place your cursor in the citation and then 'Edit Citation' from the Zotero menu in Word, delete the citation, and hit Enter.

In Windows, after you have selected the item, hit the CTRL key to highlight all collections and sub-collections with that item. See the first item in this list: https://www.zotero.org/support/tips_and_tricks

Dan, are you saying the file (e.g. PDF) will be downloaded only when the user tries to open it? That is somewhat helpful. Users are generally impatient and the delay due to downloading the PDF might put them off. So, if one member of the group …

Did you mean collection when you said temporary folder? You could also consider using tags to define which articles you would like to read in future, are reading now, and have already read. A step further would be to use colored tags to easily ident…

Thanks. I agree the $120/yr cost is negligible. It's not the cost that will be an issue for my group. It's the issues related to security and multiple copies.

File storage is not an option for security reasons. If it were an option, I believe it will have to be storage purchased under the admin's account, as shown here: https://www.zotero.org/support/storage Institutional plans seem to assign stora…

I completely second the dislike for excessive customization, which is a great recipe for trouble. I hope links to files come to groups soon. I am glad for this discussion, for telling me something I did not know. I was about to propose that my …

"Let it exist and sync, so groups that can or want to use it can use it." I should have been more clear. I was also implicitly saying that there will be a switch that group admins can turn on/off to specify whether a group will sync links. From…

I'd like to understand why relative links do not exist for groups? I can understand why files do not sync between groups due to copyright issues, but a link is an innocent thing. Let it exist and sync, so groups that can or want to use it can use it…

+1. This is a game changer for organizations that want to encourage Zotero in the collaborative research workflow. adamsmith, can we activate "attach link to file" feature through some hidden setting?
-
+1 for table.
-
Okay, sounds like a plan. I'll report back here if something does not work.
-
Thanks, aurimas and adamsmith. Tried it, looks workable. In my exported list, all the author names are in one column, each author separated by a semi-colon. Probably because my export style uses semi-colons and what I need is a style that uses comma…

There is a separate ZotFile thread. Please report this question there: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5301/25/zotfile-zotero-plugin-to-rename-move-and-attach-pdfs-send-them-to-ipad-extract-pdf-annotations/

Thanks, adamsmith. Good to know an update feature is planned in Zotero. When that becomes available, will it also do a duplicate check first? Other than the update feature, this utility works great and has been a great help. If Chris (the autho…

Would it be possible to update this addon to provide a third option - "Update" - when a duplicate is detected? Currently, user can cancel the operation or continue to add the item to the library (thus creating a duplicate). I think an update (o…

Great. I tend to favor the Group approach (2) but have some lingering doubts about it. On my computer, I have a personal library, and am trying to mirror it to a group that is visible online: https://www.zotero.org/groups/energy_and_emissions…
-
Thanks, that is very helpful. I am struggling to understand "you can use other sync that Zotero file storage with (1)." Seems there is a typo, but not sure. Compared to personal library in method (1), will the group library restrict/reduce…
-
Solved. It worked after I restarted Firefox.
-
I closed Zotero on computer 2 and deleted the 'styles' folder. And then copy-pasted the 'styles' folder from computer 1. Yet, when I restart Zotero on computer 2, I continue to see only the previous, smaller, style list under Preferences > Cite &…
-
Well, I forced shut down Firefox and then couple hours later re-did the change to relative paths and it took half a minute. Not sure why it hung up the first time.
-
Thank, aurimas. So, if we use Groups and Zotero servers, PDFs can be shared? Will that still be a common, synced copy for each PDF? Any shortcoming with Groups compared to Method (1)? If the Zotero directory is on individual machines, what…
-
If I change from absolute to relative links, on a database with about 1500 items, how long should this take? It's been about an hour and Zotero/Firefox status is "not responding". Also, would it be faster if I did this in Zotero Standalone?
-
Can I copy-paste citation styles from one computer to another? Which file/s in my Zotero folder (within the firefox profile) would that be so the Style Manager in Preferences has the same styles on both computers?
-
That might be a Chrome thing. It works in Firefox (ZF). And I just tested it to confirm it works in Zotero Standalone (ZS). IN ZS, the feedback isn't as good as ZF. For example, when I hover my mouse over the Group or a collection, it won't get high…
-
I use drag and drop to feed items to the group library from my personal library. You can drag and drop multiple items to the group library base or a collection in the group library. If you select an item that already exists in the group library…

Is there a way to narrow down the results to only those items that also have a link to a PDF as the child. I mean to delete webpages only for those journal article items for which I have already download and attached a PDF. Note, I only attach link …

What was I thinking/seeing !!?? Quite an embarrassing case of not following simple directions. Fixed the error and it is working now. Thanks, Dan!

I put the screenshots in a PDF. See: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9roN3pm2S3hcWpXZjJrQ0pidVU/view?usp=sharing
