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...

If you follow these instructions, the developers should be able to determine why it doesn't work for you: https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems

Please follow these guidelines to report problems: https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems

I really wish there was more to say about this, believe me :-)
-
When new slots are opened for the beta, the developers write a post in this thread so that's what you should follow. This is the only source of information until the app is officially released (whenever that happens).
-
The need for various improvements has been reported and acknowledged on various occasions, so it will happen eventually.

Please also follow these instrutions: https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems#provide_steps_to_reproduce

Zotero normally doesn't do that automatically on import, precisely because it can't be 100% reliable. Maybe you are using a plugin that changes this behavior? Check your preferences and see if you find the relevant settings.
-
As written in the opening message of this thread, access to the beta is limited on purpose because the developers cannot support too many users at the moment. The Android app will be available for everyone (probably as an apk as well) when the devel…

Thanks for the explanation, I wasn't aware of this refinement.
-
I would suggest posting a message specific to that problem, then. Let the forum admins know, so that someone can take a look under the hood :-)
-
> Zotero forums unfortunately don't send emails about replies to threads Errr... yes, the forum certainly sends such e-mails.
-
Interesting discussion, very close to a question that's been on my mind for a while. Thanks for explaining the data model, I have rarely used locators as I didn't really understand how they work. I still don't understand how to use them effectively…
-
The reference preview has been implemented in Zotero 7. A one-click jump to the actual document is possible when a DOI is shown for the reference, but I agree that it would be nice to have a more general mechanism.
-
The up-to-date author guidelines (September 2024) indeed do not mention this special requirement: https://researcher-resources.acs.org/publish/author_guidelines?coden=bichaw#review_ready_submission If anything, they point to the normal ACS referenc…
-
In other words, for people who don't follow the links given as answers: Zotero not changing the attachment title to the same value as the file name is the intended behavior. I for one was surprised at first, but now I really agree with the developer…

No, mounting a network drive on a Unix-like system doesn't change the fact that it's a network drive. You've just been lucky so far - which happens quite often, actually... that's why many people believe that it is safe. Until it breaks.

I am not sure I understand what you mean, can you explain in more detail? You can use these guidelines: https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems#provide_steps_to_reproduce

The magic wand doesn't really "search", it mostly retrieves 1 single record based on a unique identifier. If you want to search, it simply works better to use a platform that does it well and capture the metadata from there using the browser connect…

It's not an article, it's a book: https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262527668/dynamic-logic/ Your library might offer training and resources to locate useful documents.
