I am also interested to know how to disable this, particularly for a group. I am not sure how it works in groups, can anybody explain? My database file is now almost 1Gb and nobody is using the full-text index, we use other search tools for that. …

+1 for searching for parts of collections names, preferable via a dedicated search live at the top of the collections pane. It would also be great to be able to drag references into the found collection without selecting it first (2 or more windows …
-
+1, this would be a great help. Detachable panes would be even better. With several groups and many collections, it is getting harder and harder to navigate or organize references.

I was adding an article by clicking the button in Firefox. It is hard to enable this in the right time because this behavior is intermittent. I shall supply an ID if an opportunity arises...

OK, here is the log of a delayed response. Tried adding an article from the web. The PDF did not get attached. Tried downloading and adding a PDF manually. Zotero froze. Enabled logging at that moment. The operation completed after a couple of minut…

Apologies for the delayed reply. Zotero seems to be behaving better again. Not blazingly fast but matching the previous experience. Not sure what that was about and suspect it will be hard to catch but here is a Debug ID, captured just now in case i…

If there is a web or API way, can you please explain how?
-
OK, thanks
-
It is hard to know the circumstances but the files are old, many synchronizations have happened since they have been first added. No download-as-need mode is used. They are in group, so multiple overlapping user actions are possible. Is there a way…
-
Thanks. Glad to hear things might be coming. A log would be useful for the judicious manual recovery that you describe. Restoring collections from trash sounds good too. Accidental deletions of of collections could be also addressed by functionalit…

@fbennett Thanks. It is not such a big deal. One can always rephrase. In my example, I meant typing 2016 manually, so that only the surname would be produced by Zotero. Good luck with all those plans.

@fbennett Year exclusions are only meaningful in author-date in-text citations, at least I have never seen the need in notes. EndNote, I just checked, only excludes the author in the in-text citation. This is all I have asked for. The bibliography s…
-
@fbennett I referred to common commercial systems like EndNote and Biblioscape. Both have Word plugins with interfaces that allow excluding authors or years from in-text citations.
-
What if I need to write that "the issue of 'suppressing year' was first mentioned by Cbrylla in 2016 (Cbrylla)"? I do not need (Cbrylla 2016) as this would be clearly redundant. A small tick box in the Word plugin would do it. No? This functionality…

It does. But it is more flexible than I thought. Or it has changed over the years. It is an extra pain but I guess no style change is needed. Extract: 15: Author-Date References 15.30: Multiple text references Chapter Contents / Reference Lists a…

If saving scripts within Zotero is implemented as discussed above, how about including a few well-commented scripts for typical operations right there, as working examples? The users could just create a test library and have a play then. Separately…
-
Thank you
-
Thanks. For the future, can I add custom labels to Extra and then make custom style modification to have them picked? A separate topic but...
-
Thanks both. But should it not indeed be "al." rather than "al" or even "et al."? More precise and future readers of code will understand the inclusion more intuitively. A non-capitalized "al" in the title of an article would be offensive to the me…
-
Just to add a vote for a fully featured permission/transfer system. Not sure what a good design would be. I think both tools for transfer and permission will be needed. At least four types of libraries come to mind: 1. Personal. Permanent. Needs pe…
-
I am basing the suggestions of how it might work on the software I am familiar with. Which is limiting. But also clearly possible. 1. All that would be needed is a path to the folder. I appreciate that the design where each attachment file resides …
-
Thanks. I have tried both ways now. Not really usable for me, unfortunately. 1. An audiobook might have 20 audio files and an image cover. Zotero puts them all into separate, cryptically named folders from which they will need to be manually extra…
-
Thank you. Very helpful. Did not realize you could attach links to files. It does not seem possible to attach a folder. My player wants them in folders and my folders are already named but I guess one can get accustomed to that. Many of my audio …

Hm... Removed the citation and made it again with two. It looks like that: (Wolch 1996, 2007) Added the third, it looks like that: (Wolch 1996, 2007; Wolch, West, and Gaines 1995) Added one reference twice, as in the original example (a mistake…
-
Cheers. Also, how about what styles are "official" and of high quality and can reliably be used as templates? Does that matter? How to recognize them? If anybody can save anything they are trying for all to see, one can imagine a large number of pro…

@adamsmith Have watched the webinar. Very useful, yes, thank you. However, it can be complemented to, as discussed. For example: 1. Use, organisation and reuse of macros, their practical application, this is just mentioned as something beyond scope…
-
Great. Shall do.
-
Thanks. Yes, I saw that there were a few videos out there already. Some dated. Most are introductory overviews. I think it would be valuable to show the details, anvanced features and tricks of the trade, not only the basics. That is why I was keen …
-
Or you could run a webinar and record that.... I would join and bring some students too.

I think if someone would write up a brief code example of how to do it in PyZotero the life for many would be much easier, any chance?
