They do monitor it. Reporting it here is reporting it officially - though do have a look at the reporting bugs FAQ but I've reported what I suspect is the same bug here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/14350/no-references-show-up-in-the-edi…

Thanks, Adam, was just about to check to see if it worked on Ubuntu (and was wondering if it was linked to siobhankphillips problem - but he's using Word, not openoffice though). Yes it did all use to work! The Debug ID is D338582795.

If you created your own zotero folder, make sure it's all lower case - as I think I had this problem and that was the reason. If you haven't created your own zotero folder, it might be worthwhile doing so and seeing if that helps

Well OK - but firefox 4 or firefox beta would have brought up the relevant items in the first few results. It's not surprising that firefox brought up probably almost every post - as most people will mention what version of firefox they are using …

I suspect the short answer to this is: when it's no longer beta The longer answer is here http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/13363/firefox-beta-4/#Item_8 and can I throw in the usual, please search the forums before posting.

I was mucking about with their web interface (which frankly is horrible) and for some reason which I completely forget, it seemed easier / obvious to put it there. So hopefully it doesn't / shouldn't matter. Plus it was about three in the morning, s…

One quick(ish) work around that I've used to do this kind of thing, is to do a full text search and then tag all the results. That way you can do an advanced search for the tag and then whatever other restrictions you want.

Well, you really didn't have to look that far http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/69510/ Like I said there, so far, so good.

Well, I've got three computers synced now so I'm cautiously reporting success. Also, I think it may not be as slow as I first feared - I forget just how long it takes to upload that much data over wireless but now it's up there, all subsequent syncs…

Gitty, see if any of this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zotero#Window%20management%20for%20the%20OOo%20extension

Well, to partially answer my own question, and to help out all the other mydrive orphans out there. I'm currently testing icloud (slight shudder at the whole 'i' thing, but what can you do?) http://icloud.com/en/webdav Good news is that th…

Sure it is. It just doesn't have the 'prefereably free' tag.

Hi Markus and Dan, well that explains it then. Drat, drat and double drat. Well, I'll have to look for a different webdav supplier then, which is a pity as till now mydrive had been rock solid.
-
Hi Dan, don't know if this is relevant or not - I tried verifying the server and got this: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your file sync settings or contact your server administrator." The Debug ID is D393813943. My webdav p…

Drat, OK, will do.

Project Muse has been broken for ages http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7097/project-muse-cant-caputre-multiple-citations-no-yellow-folder/#Item_2 https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/1524

This thread was about problems with icedtea which meant that no references could be installed at all. Your problem sounds like you are hitting the Bookmarks bug which is separate. Have a look at this http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12582/…

It's almost certainly this: http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation Or, if you have E Smith and F Smith, then it will include this initial - as disambiguation

Appologies Dan, I was searching for "advanced search" in Trac and missed it.

1) is discussed here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1027/organizing-saved-searches/#Item_8 This is one of those irritating things. A ticket doesn't ever seem to have been opened. It was first requested three years ago. I'm not a prog…
-
Apart from being able to add items that are not part of the search to a virutal folder, exactly how are they different from a saved advanced search?
-
OK, went ahead anyway, deleted the zotero folder from my webdav, reset sync history and then did a complete sync over night. Seems to have gone without a hitch, and as a bonus I've actually gained 400M - so I guess there must have been a lot of orph…

Does this happen with an author-date style? Are you using Bookmarks or Reference Marks? It sounds like you're using Bookmarks, which I think is still broken on Ubuntu (they've done something strange to OO, as it works on other linux flavours). Unles…
-
I expect that this isn't going to be possible (though I can see why you might want it, is it actually required by your style?). You currently can't specify disambiguation (unless there's a trick I'm not aware of) precisely so it remains automatic - …

Well it's not Ubuntu specific - I've had problems on Puppy Linux - but that's because the laptop that I run it on is old and slow. I grabbed the reference from Springer, on my Ubuntu machine, and it wouldn't index at all. Maybe it's protected, so I …
-
Appologies for resurecting such an old thread - but was a ticket ever created for this? It really would be great if saved searches could be moved around just like folders can.
-
What kind of processor are you running on? I deleted pdfinfo to stop the hanging issue, but I also reduced the number of characters and pages to index as my v. old laptop was (at least appearing to) hang. Admittedly this is on a Pentium M 1500 - whi…

Well as I'm also happily using Windows 7 but without this problem, I don't know what else to suggest. Sorry.
-
Trouble with your last suggestion is that people (well, me at least) do tend to muck about with their WP shortcuts - and I'm not sure how happy I'd be about some third party program (even Zotero!) changing them - particularly when it's not that diff…

OK, not sure how much help this will be as it's for OpenOffice but I imagine something similar will be the case for Word. You need to modify a keyboard shortcut for your wordprocessor. In openoffice you do this by going to: Tools / Customize / K…
