Okular is based on a completely different technology (C++ language + KDE/Qt libraries vs. Javascript + Firefox for Zotero), it feels extremely difficult to re-use its code in Zotero. But I suppose you could open the PDF file in Okular (or another t…

Wouldn't it be easier to just add the reference using its DOI? https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier
-
Webdav will be included before the official version comes out, yes, this has been answered a couple of times in this thread.

The book is probably not listed in the sources that Zotero uses for such imports https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier For example, the ISBN cannot be found in Worldcat. However, Norway has a good union catalo…

The Zotero server is open source https://github.com/zotero/dataserver , but it is apparently not trivial to set up and no support is provided if you want to do this. So you'd be essentially on your own.
-
What you can do is identify which plugin is causing the problem, and report it to the plugin developer. This will give them a chance to fix it, which would solve the problem for you and for other users. There is hope, you just need to find where hel…

The problem was also reported on Github: https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues/3302 I have a debug ID for https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4939-1408-1 : D687680210 Help is welcome.

Sorry if my response was confusing, I didn't mean to imply that you were impatient. Quite the opposite, actually, you were understandably worried by a technical problem, but both of your messages were very polite. The point of my link was to provid…

You're not violating any rules, no worries! https://www.zotero.org/support/forum_guidelines#be_patient This doesn't feel like standard Zotero behavior. Do you see this with other PDFs? Did you do something special with this one recently? Are you us…

It will take however long it takes to stabilize Zotero 7, and as far as I am concerned whoever needs a totally stable version should clearly use Zotero 6 for the moment. Zotero 7 beta is called "beta" for a good reason, no one should rely on it for …

Maybe a stronger warning would be useful on https://www.zotero.org/support/beta_builds ?

Crossing my fingers for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, obviously this is a lot of stress and I wish them the best for their thesis! If v72 works for them in this final week, that's certainly the most conforable solution.
-
Using beta software for your thesis is an unwise choice, that's all I can say for sure. Large, important documents with a deadline are the exact situation where you need a reliable tool, which beta software isn't, by definition - I know it doesn't s…
-
Can you be more specific?
-
I'm not sure that it really makes sense to use an older beta version: you would not get any support if something doesn't work. And obviously things will break more often since it is a beta version! If something doesn't work properly in the latest b…
-
I don't use the plugin myself except for testing purposes. So you are the only judge of your own experience... if it isn't right for you, you can uninstall it at any time. Updates: the plugin developers release updates when the timing feels right t…

OCR is possible in Zotero 6 and 7 using this plugin https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/zotero-ocr When you write "scan", what do you mean in the context of Zotero?

Here are the instructions for new citation style requests: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/REQUESTING.md#requesting-csl-styles

Yes, we are sure (as of November 2023): https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/IEEE_Reference_Guide.pdf#page=4 (referenced on https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-journal-article/create-the-tex…
-
If you are using the IEEE style, it is indeed correct: they changed it recently. If you are using another style, can you tell us which one?
-
The latest release adds support for Zotero 7.
-
It looks fairly close to this: https://editor.citationstyles.org/styleInfo/?styleId=http://www.zotero.org/styles/mary-ann-liebert-harvard
-
Possible, but are you sure you want to do it? It can be complicated. See this page for information about your options: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step ETA: you could also look for an existing style that…
-
Are you considering that wrong? I don't. There is nothing ironic about page or issue numbers in online-only journals. Journal can use them by tradition, even if they are less useful than they used to be. There are many things one could consider wron…
-
The metadata on the article page actually says And their RIS citation also contains that issue number.
-
No problem, I'm glad that you found the origin of the problem :-D
-
Strange. Perhaps someone with a better knowledge than mine will provide a simple explanation... Right now, the only other thing I could suggest is to try deleting your 10 collections, then importing just 1 file, then another one, then maybe another…
-
Thanks for the details! Hum. If you imported 10 files, indeed I would not expect Zotero to merge duplicates automatically. Are you using any plugins? Maybe this could change the behavior in such a case.
-
How did you import these collections? From 10 different files, or just one, or something else entirely? From what format? In principle, Zotero collections are not folders, they behave more like tags. The same item (not a copy, really the exact same…
-
I'm very curious, which journal requires this unusual format?
