I'm afraid if you moved the files manually, such as with Windows File Explorer, then there's no way for Zotero to find the files and update the links. If you can go back to the previous folder organization, then you can use Zotfile to move your file…
-
If you select and right-click on an item in Zotero, you have the "Add Attachment from Source Folder" option, that will pull the latest file from the specified folder. It's looking at only the latest PDF, so the newer .XLSX file is not recognized. Bu…

Could you use Zotfile to temporarily move the linked files to another folder, and then whatever is left behind are the unattached/unlinked files?
-
I'm curious if the at-rest encryption affects access to the Zotero database by third party software. How is this different from Mendeley's implementation, something we have derided as taking control away from users? Is it only encrypted server-side?
-
When you say the article is published, does it have a webpage? Can you post that here? The best way to get metadata in to Zotero is to visit the published page and use Zotero's translator to save the article/item. If that fails, THEN, use other meth…
-
If you let Zotero manage and store the PDF, then it is placed in the Storage sub-folder in your Zotero folder. You can still choose not to sync your PDFs and that way you won't consume the online storage space. Again, note that you can sync unlimite…

See if the information on this page helps: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/data_missing_after_zotero_5_upgrade

The PDFs on your desktop, do they show-up as "link to file" versus "stored copy of file" for those in the storage folder? You could try Zotfile to fix this. http://zotfile.com/

Great, thanks @emilianoeheyns I tested with 5.0.14. The add-on page says, "In the generated report, click the pencil to remove remove fields and change the order and sort. The back arrow reset all current edits, the erase-all (three lines) resets …

Add a pre-step where you tag all existing duplicates with "KeepThese" and then use a saved search that filters for items that have the "DeleteThese" tag (which you applied to all duplicates after the ref-extract) but does NOT have the "KeepThese" ta…
-
Will this work? - Use ref-extract to import the cited items. That means each cited ref has a duplicate. - Go to Duplicate Items, select all, and assign a custom tag - Delete the items created/imported in #1 (easier if you order the middle window by…

So, if you don't try to add an article but just let the PC sit idle, does it still close? Having a debug output would be helpful to see what exactly happens in the moments before Zotero closes. The usual debug output route might not work, but maybe…

Wanted to check if there's any movement on this. Also, here's how the feed looks like in Outlook. Would be nice to have more information about the item: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Atcr8aCyjBrulYpKOMmvBEGej6QykA In Zotero's RSS, it's same level of detail, …

@gsjal This is not a solution to what you need and might not even be possible in some situations - but when feasible, you could consider clicking on the DOI that comes up in the EV/EI/Compendex results and grab metadata from the "real" homepage of …
-
Does *not* work for me (and has not worked for a while now). I am using Ei Compendex. I do a search, then open individual results in separate tabs. The Zotero connector always shows webpage; I tried this for four different journal articles. I don't…
-
That is unusual. What operating system? Does it close when you try to do something? Any error messages (even if just a flash)?

There's no feature to create a note template. The best you can do is create a note with the headings and use it as a starting point. Next time you need a new note, right-click on the one with the headings and click on 'Duplicate Item'.
-
@YvonneBowe, you sure have a privileged tone. @adamsmith is among the most knowledgeable members of the Zotero community and he spends hundreds of hours each year solving other people's problems on these forums. For free. Did you ever pause to thin…

Thanks. Is there a page that talks about how to move preferences between computers, and in general a brief description of the many files found in the Profile and Zotero folders? I might have missed it. But if there isn't one, it would be useful to i…
-
Thanks, it looks good now. I copied the two you mention plus extensions.ini and extensions.json. Which file has the settings/options for the extensions?
-
Yes, you can use Zotero with the Word or Libreoffice plug-ins to cite while you write in those word processors. Yes, Zotero will take care of re-numbering the citations as you move text around or insert/delete citations. Zotero will also let you sw…

"your case is a perfect example why not, by the way: There's no way Zotero could provide access to files that it doesn't control to other users of the group who may or may not have access to your Dropbox but whose Dropbox folder is definitely in a l…

@bjohas Did you mean that I write code that will open each .zotero-ft-cache file and count the occurrences for the search phrase? Not sure what this means "You can then relocate the files in zotero by searching for the ID". Also, my PDF files are …
-
You can attach the file to an item in Zotero, and then, when you right-click the attachment in Zotero you will see an option "Rename File from Parent Metadata". There are more advanced options for renaming and moving files with the add-on Zotfile.

Yes, I mean wiki edit rights. I can login and see page source, but cannot edit/save. The NCSU OpenURL has been corrected I believe by the person from NCSU library who had also requested for wiki edit (after I pointed them to this thread). Since thei…

Dan, any known issues with full-text syncing? I have seen instances when I have indexed PDFs on one computer but they continue to appear unindexed on another computer. Lately, I have been re-indexing (the unindexed items) on each computer.
-
Dan, can you describe the "fix". Maintaining even a semblance of similarity between my personal and group library is the number one time sink for me currently. And I still fail miserably. realtime99 work flow is to completely delete an item and cop…

What about using the bookmarklet?

Wondering if there was a glitch since I haven't heard back from Zotero support on my edit request.
