I'm not sure that there's much that can be done other than that. And I'm not very optimistic even for that strategy: few, if any, plugin developers have the resources (i.e. volunteers speaking dozens of different languages) to maintain translations…

No problem here (Zotero 7.0.30, MacOS 26.6). Are you using any plugins? If yes, does it also happen if you disable all of them?

Thanks for this post-Christmas gift of DOIs! I'm looking forward to the next updates as well :-D

Is your F drive a network volume, by any chance? That's not safe.

The plugin only retrieves documents from one's own library, is that right? If yes, perhaps this could be written more explicitly. Otherwise: very cool project!

Someone recently used ChatGPT to produce a Google Sheet macro that transformed his spreadsheet into a RIS file that Zenodo can import: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/501969#Comment_501969 It should not be too difficult to adapt eithe…

The proper way to resolve duplicates is to merge them, not delete. https://www.zotero.org/support/duplicate_detection#merging_duplicates

"This is the intended behaviour": maybe "expected behaviour" would be a better choice of words? No one really wants the 1st citation to be slow, it's just the best performance one can obtain with Word for Mac until, maybe, just maybe, Microsoft fixe…

Interesting news, thanks!

Until Proton Docs supports plugins, there is not much to do. And considering their philosophy where everything needs to be 100% secure and protect privacy (which I for one absolutely respect), it is very unlikely they will introduce such a functiona…

It is not clear what you mean by "every instruction". There is a specific web page to help you provide information and receive better assistance https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems

Bi-directional sync means that the newer, or the only existing, record (wherever it is) is retrieved to the other location. Since your online library is empty (as it happens with most new users of the sync feature), all of your local records will ha…

The attachment title and the filename are not the same in principle https://www.zotero.org/support/file_renaming#attachment_title_vs_filename In some cases they can have the same value (as in your Kery et al. example) but quite often they will be d…

I think this answer is essentially the same is in https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/128170/importer-translator-for-dialogue-journal Are you in contact with the site owners, by any chance?

Commitment and responsible risk management, I respect that :-)

... except you were already at risk with the old version. The "my database has been corrupted in a network drive" topic is recurrent, see for example https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/406260#Comment_406260 It can take time, sometimes yea…

It's not really a problem of version, it's a problem with SQLite in general - some versions are just more likely to break earlier. You should simply not have your main Zotero directory on a remote drive. What you can do with more confidence is keep …

Ooooooh Mythlore is online... I didn't know that :-) Yes, in that case we have a volume-specific issue number together with a continuous one. It is more visible at the volume level: https://dc.swosu.edu/mythlore/vol15/

It could actually be the page or something completely different, but it is difficult to say for sure with just a citation: references can sometimes be unreliable. Do you have access to that article? If not, maybe you could say what the journal is?

There are examples of larger databases without any significant performance issues, such as https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/502063#Comment_502063 It is probably better to investigate your specific problem in depth before suggesting majo…

I don't think collections should have a significant impact on performance in Zotero, because they behave more like tags than like directories - they are not fundamental structural elements of the database, at least in my understanding. My opinion a…

Thanks for the details! A few more comments/questions: Batch editing: I can see how this could be slow as Zotero functionality for that is rather minimal (perhaps you were using a plugin? or javascript instructions in the console?) - there is proba…

Can you say more about your performance issues? Doing what, on what system? There is no general limit, but some situations could be more problematic than others.

Can you give specific examples? Does it happen if you disable all plugins?
