I checked in here randomly (first time in many months) and saw the announcement, posted just an hour ago. Immediately read the update news and downloaded it. It's fantastic!! Thank you so much. Love the dark mode, love the new item pane with the doc…
-
Thank you, I too did not realise you can have two Zotero screens open at the same time on an iPad. Brilliant.
-
Excellent, thanks for your help!
-
ah, I see, thank you so much! So when do my downloads get cleared (otherwise local storage would go mad in a while) or do I always have to do that manually in settings? Thanks.
-
hmm one day there will be a feature to add dark mode for text that simply skips the images. Artworks, paintings, colour photographs, etc simply need to be seen in correct colours and even BW photos should not be inverted if they need studying. But r…
-
Does Zotero Style still invert images in dark mode though?
-
Using and enjoying the Night add-on. If only the images would not be inverted.... I often read texts with lots of images and the add-on is unusable then. :(
-
Thank you to you both. Very helpful. I'll take Haug's advice, taking into account everything you all said, and start converting file by file. Loving the iPad app (and the recent improvements) btw!
-
If I do convert all, what do I do with the Zotfile settings? Do I still need zotfile or should I even uninstall it (somehow)?
-
Thank you for these helpful answers! Much appreciated. Adam, you write "In terms of future-proof: the collection information is available in three different places -- the Zotero API, the Zotero sqlite, and Zotero export to RDF." But I'm afraid I don…
-
Great, thank you for explaining. If any future versions will clean up any orphans, then I'll just leave it be. Thanks!
-
mmmm ok... will try..... scary.
-
ah, thanks! That takes me to a Github forum which is not for me as I am no developer, so I'll leave that as it is. I suppose I'll make some time to just re-link individual Zotero items. Thanks for your help.
-
Thanks, but not sure I follow. I have a link attachment base directory set up but there are lots of sub-folders in there. If I move some files to a different or new sub folder in my 'finder' (Mac), Zotero would not be able to find them anymore and I…
-
Great, thank you so much.
-
I'd be lost without it. Absolutely love this program. I use it to organise my PDF collection (not really for citations and bibliography) and now also to read (who needs a pdf reader) and make annotations and summaries. It's brilliant.
-
Ah, I see. So the connector would grab more info than dragging and dropping could. It works nicely with sites like Jstor, but other places not so much. Proquest, for example, lets you download (chapters of) books but via the connector you only g…
-
Definitely not talking into the void here! Much appreciated!! I will start trying this way of doing things - using the connector. Will also take a look how to use subfolder dynamically etc, thanks for the link! (edit: not understanding it so will …
-
I suppose you can do it automatically but I order my files in various sub folders so it not always the same sub folder. So I have to do it manually. This way I can keep an orderly folder and will be able to find things even without Zotero. So I man…
-
Thanks. I do use zotfile and I just double checked, indeed, most of the time it creates a linked file (not always though) but I do need to move the files to various sub folders (depending on what it is) so would have to re-locate the file anyway. I …
-
aha, maybe I've been doing this all wrong LOL. Thank you. I am going to double check whether my settings are ok. I was under the impression that when I use the connector I don't get a linked file and usually just download the file and then drag it f…
-
I suppose it depends on file size but I often open large PDF's (600 pages) and it works very fast (and am loving the new reader and tabs!)
-
Great! Thanks. I don't use beta but will look forward to 6.0.5.
-
1 tab open (the file is 2mb) and using 2.6gb of memory. I never noticed it before but I suppose it's quite a lot. My library is small. Is this a good excuse to get a new laptop with an M1 chip? he he...
-
Got 12 tabs open and using 3.07gb of memory (MacBook Pro 2020 intel i7, 32gb) (files range from
-
Thank you for that! I am going to use a combo of Zotero and a PDF reader for a while and see which suits me best. My main objection is still the local library being hard to access outside of Zotero. I’d prefer it to work like Adobe Lightroom where o…
-
would happily pay for the storage plan but the library you get is messy and unorganised and so only accessible via the Zotero app. I quite like my folders and subfolders ..... I’d rather keep my icloud storage and just pay for the ipad app instead i…
-
Aha, add an additional author! Thanks
-
Sorry about not being clear! I usually drag my PDF (a chapter) to the database and then create (or it creates it for me) a parent item. The parent item will list the book under the book author's name and so the 'section' will no longer appear in t…
-
Thanks will go through those instructions OR stick to the beta version and just manually add linked files to the database.
