I'd like deletions to be handled by moving to a special collection (which I simulate manually for now). Partially because of the recovery facility, but mostly because deletion is currently a very slow operation (on average for me about 25s with a ~2…

Well, here's a suggestion that might help those of us who need ordered lists of items for some purposes. How about implementing zotero hyperlinks (as per http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1222/hyperlinks-back-to-zotero-item/). Preferably system-w…

That's worked a treat for me. Thanks yet again.
-
Me too, with r3808 on the Mac.
-
Sorry, can't help there (bibtex user).
-
OK. It's certainly not accurate yet, but looks like it'll be nice when done.
-
It still has a few issues (particularly in collections, where the weightings aren't accurate) So should the weightings be accurate for the entire library? I'm not finding that with 1.5sync3.2, but if you know of the issues presumably they're not w…

I'm using the latest sync preview for real work, daily, and on a database of about 2000 top-level items. I have a backup of my 1.0 zotero dir, and I do a weekly RDF export of newly-added items to enable going back to that should I have a problem. I …

Yep, r3627 upgraded OK, thanks. Thanks also for the new Sync Preview pointer.
-
Wrote too soon! I've come across an item today with an attached pdf that I can't get Zotero to link to in a new location, even after a Firefox restart. This is with the trunk build r3545. Edit: It's just ocurred to me that I might be trying to do s…
-
Yep, just confirmed that. Thanks Dan.
-
Yes, I would have done that. I think I have deleted collections before without this happening (as my collections are quite fluid), but couldn't be 100% sure without an explicit test.
-
I have to admit I've found zotero's note-taking too restrictive to be comfortable. The lack of any kind of structure (either formatting or semantic) is probably the single biggest thing, though, and my sense from the forums is that this has been a m…

Zotero actually does a decent job of making linked files first-class members of its collections, gathering, for example, metadata and full-text indexes for externally linked pdfs. I think this is a good thing (as in general I like to keep files in a…

This is going to get lots of sympathetic publicity for Zotero (some some recent discussion here). I can see universities also getting flooded with requests to cease support for Endnote. Unfortunately the corporate climate in universities here (Austr…

I don't know of any way to prevent the initial expansion. But you can collapse all by putting focus in the middle pane, and hitting the '-' (minus) key.
-
Great, thanks.
-
Have other people managed to populate zotero on a Mac by syncing with a zotero database originally created on a PC?
-
This also happens using a new FF profile, with nothing done in it other than the zotero installation.
-
OK, done.
-
But GDS wouldn't search the zotero db content, would it?
-
I'm getting this with a zotero db that so far I've only sync'd on one machine, in only one firefox profile, and without webdav configured yet. Nothing unusual had happened before the error started appearing. I had done a bit of rearranging of items…
-
Tjowens: Ah yes, thanks, silly me. Change blindness strikes again.
-
I'd like more info on this too. But I know mine's working. What it seems to do is observe if you use an institutional proxy to access a particular database url. When it catches one (for instance if you go to something like http://www3.interscience…

Let me commend DropBox for this purpose. Real-time syncing of a local directory with space on their server, along with web-based access to versioned files. A simple, light local client app (Windows, Mac, Linux) to take care of all this automaticall…

Thanks Dan, I didn't know IIS did WebDav. On the face of it, IIS might be a bit heavy for this minimal purpose? But as a temporary solution it's probably worth me trying.
-
Shane: for comparison's sake, on my *old* thinkpad x300 (1.2GHz cpu, 1GB RAM), with a 3000-item library: adding and deleting take about 10s, quick search 14s, putting a zotero pdf within another zotero item: this is going to be good news for apps li…
-
Dan (or any 3rd party dev reading here), It would be a nice idea if/when 'personal' tags come about to be able to change a set of current tags into that type. That way those of us who distinguish tag types by naming convention (unless I'm the onl…

Oops, yes, sorry.

Using trunk (1.5a1r3024), I got an error, pasted below, on first sync attempt. It relates to an item that had a stupidly long (automatic) tag. Cheers, CB. zotero(3): Server error (c87e3fc5ae) Error: Data too long for column 'name' at row 1 Query:…
