"the browser plugin gets it often wrong" That's not a general problem, could you give specific examples (preferably in another thread)?
-
Thanks!

I have the same experience on macOS 15.2 (Apple Silicon).

"lastName, firstName" is the standard name format for many applications in the Western world: - it clearly distinguishes which is which (which can be difficult otherwise when there are several first names and/or last names); - it makes it easy to so…

I am not 100% sure but I suspect you are talking about collections. If so, here is the answer: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item Please note that collections are not folders, they have distinct properties that might …

You could also create a zip file containing your directory. Depending on your system (choice of OS & zip utility), the archive might be treated almost like a folder.

Please provide one specific example (URL + screenshots) so that it can be studied in depth by as many people as possible.

Sometimes publisher websites contain enough structured information, and it is then possible to write a Zotero translator (i.e. input script https://www.zotero.org/support/translators ) that will capture as much information as possible from the brows…

Well, that's definitely not how the ISBN system works. ISBNs are often purchased in batch long before they are assigned to anything, the publishers often don't have any obligation to disclose anything about their books before they hit the shelves (p…

Instead of relying on ISBN lookup (which will never be universal), can't you find supported web sites that list these books (libraries, maybe Amazon) that list these books and capture the information through the browser connector? https://www.zotero…

Your item seems to be a standalone attachment. You need to create a parent item https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#standalone_attachments_and_parent_items

@Rainshoots The Zotero team usually doesn't communicate on release dates. The app will become public when the developers decide that it is ready.

It isn't clear to me where you are stuck regarding the Zotero-OCR plugin. Can you say exactly how far you got in the instructions on https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/zotero-ocr ? Prerequisites section? Installation section? Feel free to give us as ma…

The reasons are listed in the original message (2nd paragraph).

Apple's Preview app (in recent enough MacOS version) performs on-the-fly OCR on PDFs that have no text layer, without saving the recognized text. In such cases, it is normal that other applications only see an image layer. You can use the Zotero-OCR…

The page doesn't seem to contain well-structured metadata, writing a translator is probably possible but it might break whenever the website design changes. Perhaps you could consider using one of the supported sources for patent information, such a…

https://www.zotero.org/support/forum_guidelines#be_patient And no, there is no remote control by the Zotero staff. They will ask for a Report ID or a Debug ID when necessary.

While I'm not a member of the Zotero development team or a CSL specialist, I'd like to express my opinion on the request of this thread as far as I understand it - I have encountered similar questions in various contexts for more than a decade, I ag…

C'est peut-être déterminé par le style de citations; lequel utilisez-vous?

The extremely specific code in chrome/content/zotero/xpcom/data/searchConditions.js starting with the comment "Hack to use a different name for "issue" in French locale" needs to be removed. Could the developers take care of this?
-
More details will be needed in order to help you: https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems#provide_steps_to_reproduce "Importing data": does this mean using the browser connector? If so please provide the URL.

I don't often wish that the Zotero forum had a "like" button, but this is one of those times. Excellent points, thank you!

In my view, the problem with ISBN lookups is when people expect them to be either universal, or centered at all (even English documents will fail sometimes) :-D Users will be disappointed on both accounts, because both expectations are unfortunately…

It is the intended behavior: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/attachment_title_vs_filename

It is likely that metadata for this document is not available from any source used by Zotero for ISBN-based import - reports like these are rarely owned by libraries (it isn't in Worldcat, for example), and there is no central, world-wide database f…

Sorry, it took me a few minutes to realize my answer is irrelevant. Translators and styles are of course different animals, and the situation of the style repositories is much better. It can still take a little while, but certainly not months. (my…
-
There is probably nothing wrong with your code, but unfortunately the Zotero translators suffer from a shortage of human resources for PR reviews, and there is a very significant backlog. It can take months before someone actually looks at a new sub…
-
I could be wrong, but I don't think there is much information that Zotero can capture in this example: there doesn't seem to be any useful metadata on the web page, and the document itself doesn't seem to be a PDF (more like a dynamically rendered s…

"top plugins"? That's a strange question, isn't it? Many people use Zenodo without any plugins. In general, one would ask what do you need to do? Does Zotero do it out of the box or not? After these questions, you can check if one or more plugins wi…

To be fair, Zotero7 was beta tested for about 12 months, so plugin developers had plenty of time to catch up...
