There is no universal database for ISBNs (unfortunately). Your ISBN is not present in Worldcat, probably the largest used by Zotero https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier and it is probably not in the other ones…

The pandoc/Better Bibtex workflow I was suggesting should be what you are looking for. You apparently have the right skill set to make it work :-)
-
Normally you would only have the main book reference in your library, and edit the in-text citation when you want to reference specific pages (see for example https://library-guides.ucl.ac.uk/zotero/editing-citations ). However, this feature is esse…

Is this what you are looking for? https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/ If that's not what you meant, please give us more details so that someone can help you.

No worries! But please note that beta versions means that you can still expect some mystical changes along the way, and more frequently than with a stable version.
-
You were running beta 101 at the beginning of this thread, so you can be sure that a few updates happened with respect to "a few weeks ago". We were still at beta 99 on July 14 if my records are correct :-)

Assuming you are using the browser connector, see https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues for step-by-step instructions.

https://www.zotero.org/support/file_renaming#attachment_title_vs_filename (already given in the 1st answer of this thread) is the current explanation. The idea is that showing the filename in the application would not add much value: author, year, t…

"Delete the whole bibliography": the one created by Zotero in your document, not your Zotero library!

I have seen a couple of similar requests in the past (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/114188/google-scholar-pdf-reader/p1 , https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/113089/feature-request-integrating-the-google-scholar-api-in-the-pdf-reader#latest …

Short answer: don't do that. Really, don't. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/data_directory_in_cloud_storage_folder You can configure your system to store the attached documents (PDFs and such), but definitely not the whole Zotero folder, on a clo…

The translation team generally agrees that at least the issue number should be translated differently. This will be part of the current translation effort for Zotero7. During that discussion, we have observed that a French string for issue number h…
-
The properties have the same name in French, not in English (Issue and Number, respectively). They represent different things, it would be better to change one of the translated names... I'll check with the French translation team.

I'm pretty sure ORCID iDs for some authors can be found on the platforms of many scholarly journals, bibliographic databases such as the Web of Science and Scopus, as well as a growing number of repositories and preprint platforms. So the relevant t…
-
My perception is that retrieving ORCID is not happening at all at the moment, partly because the availability of that information is not very systematic, but also because there is nowhere to store it in Zotero. So it is a chicken-or-egg situation :…

Sorry, I misread the previous message and missed the "Before I knew Zotero" part. Now if I understand correctly this is actually a clean-up operation, and not the regular use for current work? How many saved webpages are we talking about? Anyway, I…

> Unfortunately, some URLs of those snapshots are broken due to particular reasons, indicating that I cannot add the corresponding item via the web browser. Can you provide an example?
-
I'm even more puzzled (but interested). Can you explain your workflow step by step, including all SingleFile and Zotero actions?
-
Not really. The best way to input a web page is to capture it through the browser, not enter it manually https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero (more specifically: https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#manually_adding…

The integration between Microsoft Word and Zotero on Mac OS is unfortunately significantly slower than any other combination of OS and word processor. The problem must be fixed in Word, and the Zotero developers are in touch with Microsoft about thi…

If steps 1 to 13 on the troubleshooting page did not work, please follow step 14 exactly as written.

There are several ways to generate a bibliography in Zotero. What you are describing sounds a bit like this: https://www.zotero.org/support/creating_bibliographies However, the most powerful solution is usually through a word processor plugin (ava…

Distinguishing different item types is not always better, the same reference could be imported as different document types depending on the quality of metadata available on various sources. I would definitely prefer an over-enthusiastic duplicate de…

Unfiled items are just not (yet) assigned to any specific collection. That's quite all right, using collections is not mandatory. Duplicated items and how to deal with them: see https://www.zotero.org/support/duplicate_detection Don't delete unfil…

A DOI for software is already allowed. Zotero currently supports DOIs in various reference types using an "Extra" field https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields#citing_fields_from_extra Eventually, the DOI will get generalized, the E…
-
The extra field can contain several variables, on separate lines https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields#citing_fields_from_extra Does this address your use case? If not, can you describe what you want to achieve?
-
You can right-click on the Zotero plugin button and select a different "Save to Zotero" option. I guess "Web page with snapshot" is what you need here?
-
You should report the problem to the plugin developer.

For those who care: the Zotero-OCR plugin is now compatible with Zotero 7 https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/zotero-ocr
