  • Do you mean something like this? http://www.zotero.org/documentation/known_issues
  • For the people who are having the Google Scholar problem, does it change anything if you set the "Bibliography Manager" option in the Google Scholar preferences? To do this, Visit a Google Scholar preferences page such as this: http://scholar.googl…
  • Java probably doesn't have anything to do with it, Zotero doesn't use Java. Zotero uses javascript, but that's something altogether different. Just to check, is the python-uno package installed? That's on the troubleshooting page, and I've been sup…
  • I think many online library catalogs have a field for ISBNs. The Library of Congress does. WorldCat.org is a good place to locate texts that are hard to find in other online catalogs. It's Zotero-supported, and there's an ISBN field in the advanced…
  • There are some more instructions that explain how to reset your OOo user profile here: http://katana.oooninja.com/w/openoffice.org/troubleshooting As that page indicates, one way to rename your user profile is to run the following command from a te…
  • I think you would need to collect the references you want to include in the HTML bibliography in a folder in Zotero and then export the bibliography from that folder. Would using tags simply the process for you? I.e., I'm thinking that you could ad…
  • OK, so it's not that. I did mean two user accounts on the level of the OS, and you'd know if there were more than one, I think. You could try temporarily disabling all the other extensions you've installed for Firefox and OpenOffice.org. You could…
  • Do you have more than one user account in use at once, for example with fast user-switching? I've seen OOo get confused when two users are signed in simultaneously. The Zotero OOo plugin window would appear on the desktop of the first user to have …
  • Have you tried the troubleshooting steps in the documentation? http://www.zotero.org/documentation/openoffice_integration In particular, is ZoteroRPC.py enabled? You can find more information about that in the 1st entry in the "Troubleshooting" sec…
  • Thanks for the feedback. I've added a section on window management rules to the Zotero page of the Ubuntu community help wiki, which has some additional tips for Ubuntu (and other Linux distro) users. Please feel free to fix any errors you may find…
  • Are you using compiz or metacity for window management? There is a different solution in each case. For compiz (or "Visual Effects"): First you need to install the compizconfig-settings-manager package, if you haven't done so already. (I'd put in …
  • Thank you very much!
  • Hi, Firefox should be following the associations established by your OS when choosing which application to use to open files. I don't know how to check for file associations in Windows Vista, but it sounds like Windows is thinking that the MM file i…
  • If you (or someone who finds this thread with search) happen to use Linux or another unix-y operating system, it's possible to make PDF files that can be indexed with gscan2pdf: http://gscan2pdf.sourceforge.net/ For best results, use tesseract-ocr …
  • Maybe there's a conflict between Zotero and another extension or maybe something in your Firefox profile is corrupted. In order to test this, you could try making a new Firefox profile and then installing Zotero and no other extensions or other twea…
  • Oh, and I just am syncing the backup directory for Zotero; not the entire profile. Hope that's OK. I think that, for the most part, a file is a file as far as rsync is concerned, so there shouldn't be any problem with backing up whatever files or di…
  • bdarcus, I back up my files and configurations, including my Firefox profile plus the Zotero data, with rsnapshot, a Perl program that runs rsync periodically using the cron daemon. http://www.rsnapshot.org/ I've experienced no problems whatsoever …
  • You can delete a tag - all occurrences of it - by right-clicking on it in the tag selector box and choosing Delete. If needed, more information about the tag selector box can be found in this sceencast: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/tag_select…
  • There's an entry in the FAQ about this issue that includes a workaround: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/frequently_asked_questions#a_snapshot_only_captures_the_first_of_multiple_pages_of_a_new_york_times_article._how_do_i_get_zotero_to_capture_…
  • It sounds like you may using the same profile for Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. Is that right? If so, that may be the source of the problem since Zotero 1.01 isn't compatible with Firefox 3. (In fact, you can force Zotero to install using the Nightly Te…
  • The separate boxes for last, first names are very cumbersome.It is possible to change the two boxes into one box which will accept a name as "First Last." Just click on the button at the end of the Author field, before the - and +, to switch between…
  • Hi, Have you taken a snapshot of the web page you'd like to annotate? The tools for highlighting and sticky notes only appear when you're viewing a snapshot of a web page stored on your local hard disk (as opposed to on a server somewhere else). (O…
  • I'm thinking that your problem may have to do with the full-text indexing in Zotero. You could try deleting the current index and rebuilding it from scratch. This may well produce some more "A script may be busy" messages, but these can be disabled …
  • Have you tried using tags for this? It seems to me that this might be a good solution, especially since you can make saved search folders based on tags, which would be like a list of marked items.
  • It works for me too (Žižek), on Linux.
  • land, You may be seeing the spurious error message that seems to occur sometimes on Linux. See the following thread for more information: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1434/errors-were-found-in-zotero-database
  • As a workaround, it seems like it would be possible to right click on the frame, choose to open the frame in a new tab from the context menu, and then take a snapshot of the new tab. I don't know if that seems like too many extra steps. I suppose i…
  • You can try the database repair tool: http://www.zotero.org/utils/dbfix/
  • Hi, You can generate a report that contains only notes and then print that report from Firefox. To do this, first use Advanced Search to select all entries that have "Item Type" is "Note." Then save this search (you can add whatever other criteria …
  • I tried, and I am only able to capture Zotero references if cookies are enabled for google.nl. If cookies are not enabled, the "Could not save item" pop-up appears. With cookies allowed, both capturing from the address bar and capturing using the "I…
