That's odd: I found the same book via an author (aot. title) search on the unimelb opac, and this time the zotero translator works: http://cat.lib.unimelb.edu.au/search/awhite,+richard/awhite+richard/1,21,39,B/frameset&FF=awhite+richard+195…

A related question: sometimes when I start up firefox, the zotero sqlite file is updated even if I do nothing in zotero at all. At other times, the same situation (running firefox, but not even opening zotero) leaves the sqlite file alone. I would…

Markdown seems as good as any to me, though I haven't thought very deeply about the differences. I'd be happy with any, but what I would really like to see is the endorsement, in the hope that zotero would automatically convert notes using this ma…

Might it be possible to agree on a very minimal set of what is needed in notes, and have the zotero guys endorse a temporary standard for marking these up? Then, when some kind of richer note feature is available, any notes using this markup could b…

I've noticed the same thing at the University of Queensland, which I think uses the same opac as Melbourne. The UQ library response to this was: "UQ Library recently upgraded to the latest version of software for the Catalogue. Unfortunately Zotero…

I'd be a little concerned that people would add tags to items inadvertently, though. What do others think? I'd be uncomfortable with this happening silently, without some kind of UI feedback. I don't think a general preference is good enough for t…
-
A slightly separate but related request: could we have links to directories (again, preferably using relative paths)? The point would be to allow for a means of grouping related files with zotero items, in cases where it just doesn't make sense to s…

I'd like to see something like this even more now, having been bitten by a recent change of main machines (migrating my zotero library over). There are 2 practical reasons I don't always want items stored directly in Zotero: I have a directory hi…

Sorry, not quite true. The toolbar is in the View menu after all, but is somewhat opaquely named 'Add-on 1'
-
Oh, consonant with this, I'd like the auto-saving of PDFs to be configurable also (ie. be able to be put them somewhere other than in Zotero's storage).
-
How does this differ from creating a few top-level collections with subcollections under them? If you want the quicksearch to be able to find all items underneath such a collection, you can enable extensions.zotero.recursiveCollections in about:conf…
-
Dan, UI-wise, your suggestion sounds good to me. The fact that a FF restart is needed makes me want to stop for a moment however and rethink the purpose of using multiple libraries. Two themes seem to emerge from peoples comments in this thread and…
-
I and others have been through this one with Dan in this thread, but he wasn't convinced, on the basis that this would just be 'reimplementing' something that already exists in firefox, ie. using multiple profiles. I still think that's inadequate, a…

Did anyone in this thread with this problem fix it or find a workaround?
-
That's great, thanks guys.
-
I have this problem also, using OO 2.3.0 on Linux. Other OO extensions are fine.
-
I would also like to be able to control pdf viewing behaviour from within zotero, as firefox's handling of external files is brittle, to say the least, under linux. Would it be possible to have a zotero pref enabling choice either of the registered…

Fight crime ... use Zotero! http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/51/syncing-db/ ;)

post them here, and I'll make sure they end up in a Trac ticket Dan, the translators for the following sites wrongly fill the URL field for print journal articles: Blackwell Synergy eg. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1467-9507.…

@sybille: I was being a bit sloppy, and didn't have anything very specific in mind on the Freemind -> Zotero front. I suppose the more facilities there are, the more creative ways people will find to use them. If I were dreaming, I'd say it woul…

When I was doctrinaire about such things, I used {Last Name}{YYYY}{First letter of first 3 significant title words} (where 'significant' excludes the, and, a, etc). Essentially that's what google scholar spits out. eg. Dennis Garlick's (2002) "Unde…
-
@sybille: I don't have distinct use cases in mind, and was just prematurely voicing ideas. I'd actually prefer, like you, to have my info primarily organised in Zotero, spinning out to Freemind for specific purposes. But I still would like to be abl…
-
@mg: FWIW (and I'm aware this isn't answering your question), I've come to the conclusion that using a global bibtex file isn't such good idea. It has some advantages, but I found it left me too much a hostage to fortune (ie. re later possible edits…
-
I'd also like to be able to interoperate between Zotero and Freemind. But I'm not sure in exactly what way. I'm uncomfortable with copying/pasting as I don't want two versions that would get out of sync. One thing which would help here (and for oth…

Great, thank you Dan.

One problem with this for me is that although I allow automatic tagging, I want my 'untagged' collection to contain all items I haven't tagged manually (ie. include items with only automatic tags). It would be nice to be able to distinguish between…

4. Include an option for in text references (references where the author name/s appear outside of brackets, while the date remains in bracket). If you go back an manually edit the field, when a refresh is prompted any changes get wiped. This means …

You can put the Zotero folder anywhere you want via the zotero prefs -> Advanced tab (I have mine in $HOME/.zotero). The default location will be $HOME//.mozilla/firefox/[profile folder]/zotero.

This is a problem with the plug-ins the way they work at present. There are many formats of citation that are needed to make in-text citations flow well with the content; plain-old (Smith, p. xx) is really only the beginning. The pdf documentation …

It just occurred to me that FF's Download Manager calls up a file manager, by right-clicking on a downloaded file and selecting 'Open Containing Folder'. This seems to work on all platforms. Perhaps Zotero could use whatever method FF is using ther…
