I was going to suggest that duplicates check for filetype AND filename, but I did not since there is no GUI to turn on/off that additional filename criterion. Checking for both would have missed the few instances when I had duplicates but with diffe…

I ran the tool (back in Feb 13, 2018) and it did a great job of tagging attachments with broken file path. The duplicates feature worked as described, though it creates a lot of false positives given the decision rule. I have many top-level items w…

Got it, thanks.

@quickfold11 Where do you see the "indexed: partial" and the double-arrow? Beside the attached item or in the Preferences? I do not see either of those, so wondering. I did notice that the pages to index setting has disappeared from Preferences, b…

I agree, both of those are excellent points and very valid for GDocs integration project.

I know this is a bit off-topic, but still: I keep thinking of some kind of community effort where we can pool money and "hire" someone to write an add-on that provides a given functionality. No idea how much effort is required to provide the Google…

@bwiernik I can't get it to work if the field is set to the "Last, First" mode. I tried a bunch of combinations, but the first and last names get mixed up during the assignment. The full name mode works fine. Here's what I tried: *** Last, First M…

Oh, the IP address error is gone; haven't seen it in recent days. When I said the problem is at my end (at work) I was referring to the bookmarklet not working because I cannot go beyond the login page. But at home, the bookmarklet works fine.

I can confirm the translator is failing to get most any metadata from the new patent site.

Another option is to type each author name in a separate line in Notepad and then just paste the entire thing as one author. Zotero will create an author entry for each line. I change the author field to "first last" (from last, first) before the pa…

@dstillman Still not working in Chrome at my office. I think the problem is at my end, since it worked fine at home.

I have been on Surface Pro for past four years now (and very happy with it). If you intend to get one device to do it all, then the Surface Pro is unbeatable. However, if you will continue to use another laptop/desktop as your main computer and need…

When I drag-drop a zotero://select... item to Word and hit enter, it does not become a clickable link. I have to complete the Hyperlink option in the right-click menu to make this a clickable link. Is this expected behavior?
-
I am not seeing any issues in Word or Excel (both Office 2016). Item URIs in each take me to the correct item in my Zotero.org library.

I tried the Chrome bookmarklet at home and it worked fine, saving to my local database. I tied a Wikipedia page and a journal article. At work, I am presented with the login screen and can't get past it. At both home and work, I first logged in to m…

One more thing, how fast is this? Ballpark execution time for a library with 3,000 top-level items each with one linked attachment?
-
Still, very useful :) Regarding the "#duplicates just tags attachments where you have two or more of the same type" - so, it only looks at file TYPE and not file name or byte size? Thus, if a top-level item has two PDFs (different file names and si…
-
Thanks, that's assurance enough. Almost all my attachments are "link to file" type, though there are a few webpage snapshots. So, this tool will follow the path defined by each link and if a file does not exist at that path, it will tag my attachmen…
-
@emilianoeheyns Is this solid or any known issues that could potentially damage a library? Also, the description says the tool will" live updates two smart-folders #duplicates and #broken" and I'm wondering if that means it will create a tag and mar…

If the second attempt copied all 500 items, then Library 2 has 900 (400 + 500) items? And 400 pairs show up in "Duplicate Items" folder? Can you describe exactly how you are moving items from Library 1 to 2? For my described method, the best thing …

I can login to Zotero.org from this machine in Firefox (and I do this almost every day). I have not tried Chrome in the past and presently, I can't get to the Zotero login page in Chrome. Error reported, "10.0.2.113 took too long to respond." I wil…
-
If you AGAIN drag-drop all 500 items from Library 1 to 2, then Zotero will only copy the 100 that are not existing in Library 2 (and ignore the 400 that already exist in Library 2). Does that help? Before you try this, wait for another user to conf…

@dstillman I too am facing the tag capitalisation issue and hoping this can be resolved in the near future. Another thread where this is discussed: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/300210 For example, I have an item with the auto-tag …

Update: Actually, I might be looking in the wrong place. Where is the connector changelog? @dstillman Just in case this was a documentation oversight, the changelog does not mention this: https://www.zotero.org/support/5.0_changelog
-
@dstillman Can you elaborate what you mean by _The items are linked_? Even when I duplicate an item (right-click menu), Zotero won't let me drag-drop the duplicate. But I can create a duplicate using the Connector. So, these duplicates are different…

@bwiernik 11K words and 124 footnotes don't sound big at all. I wonder how many total citations? I also wonder if this is something specific to footnotes. @siv210 When you combine chapters after finishing each one individually, you can still have a…

When I click on "Save to Zotero" in the Chrome bookmark bar, the Zotero login page comes up. I provide the username and password, then I click on the red Login to Zotero button. But that just clears the login info I provided (instead of logging me i…

I tried the bookmarklet but can't get it to work. I drag-drop the button to my desktop Chrome's bookmark tab. Then, I browse to a journal article. Now, when I click on "Save to Zotero" it pops up the login page and does not move forward even if I gi…

I wonder if the " Disable proxy redirection when my domain name contains*" could be used to prevent proxy redirection for the Pubmed site? @mkostura , Go Pack! (I'm a patron, too)

@ekrynak: I suggest you at least consider the linked file method. I have been using it for past 4 years with zero problems. You never have to bother about WebDAV and you can use any of your existing systems (Dropbox, Google Drive, MS OneDrive) to ke…
