Thanks for the link, I'll see if anything weird happens with this one. And there's absolutely nothing wrong about presenting alternatives! Note that linked files are not always a problem, they're fine more often than not. There are just a few use c…

Regular attachments should work just fine, linked files could fail in some cases. Thanks for your response! I don't see any obvious problem in your situation. I could take a closer look at your PDF if you are willing to share it. If it's available o…

You said there were messages in your first couple of attempts, it could have been useful (but maybe not). I guess Zotero-OCR crashed rather early in the process, let's see if we can figure out why. 1. Was the PDF in your own library or a group libra…

I'm always interested to hear more about what went wrong with the plugin: complete error messages, screenshots, maybe the PDF itself. (no worries if you prefer the workflow that works for you, of course)
-
Right - I missed a few things in the explanation, indeed. I stand corrected. So if you are really only using Android, I guess the only option here is a 100% manual entry, unfortunately.
-
Is this really not possible (yet)? According to this thread https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/470889#Comment_470889 it seems to be supported.

Maybe not completely Android-specific, I don't think you can add a patent by identifier to Zotero on any platform. The proper entry method is certainly to search for the patent on Espacenet, Google Patents or another supported site and capture it fr…

The "+1" posts are by people who assume it has a quantitative impact. There are some informed reports that this assumption is incorrect as far as the Zotero core team is concerned (for example: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/95056/can-users-af…

For balance: I for one am very happy with the simplified attachment titles. It was a little bit confusing at first, but now I appreciate the reduced noise when I search through my library.
-
If the other posts have not been useful for you, maybe we can start with a practical case. Can you provide an example URL and tell us what is captured on your machine?

Hint for the development team: 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" has outlived its usefulness.

Are you referring to https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/67526/parenthesis-in-arabic-citations-are-inversed ? Maybe it was overlooked, I don't think the developers or other people were actually unwilling to respond. However, there are indeed some t…

Zotero uses a few sources for ISBN lookup, such as the US Library of Congress and Worldcat: https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier Worldcat is a great international source, but it depends on participating libr…

It is still possible to install the last v6 version from https://www.zotero.org/download/ (under the "Other versions" tab). But eventually v6 will no longer be supported. Can the v7-compatible alternatives to Zotfile meet the requirement of your wo…

It sounds like this: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/citations_underlined Which word processor are you using?

Yes. https://www.zotero.org/blog/improved-pdf-retrieval-with-unpaywall-integration/

It's always nice when the documentation is consistent with reality :-) Thanks for the clarification.

I think my question from July 2024 still stands: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/472327#Comment_472327 Can anybody identify a code repository for the Chrome extension or documentation for this supposed API? To the best of my knowledge …

Not directly supported, but there are instructions for Opera in the documentation: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/opera_browser To me, this suggests that questions involving Opera might receive answers here. I'm using Firefox, and my connector d…

I would enter "John A." as first name.

Version 0.8.0 of the plugin, released today, creates a parent item if the PDF is a standalone item. It also attaches the images and other files as regular attachments instead of linked files, which (1) makes it compatible with group libraries and (…

Can you give an example, saying which exact style you are using?

PKP, MDPI and Nature translators all call the Embedded Metadata translator under the hood. But the Nature translator indeed contains a fix, introduced 6 months ago https://github.com/zotero/translators/commit/7bed28c0ed418f781f1079161cd8f07579a33458…

Reviewing the offending records in my library, I have observed that the affected references are mostly from journals of 3 publishers: Nature, MDPI and Chimia. I can reproduce the incorrect import using the PKP Catalog Systems translator on Chimia p…

Which journal style, exactly ? If it is wrong, it should not be customized - it should be fixed for the general community. Also, it could actually be correct, but something might be slightly off in your metadata. The more information you provide, th…

Keep the discussion civil: https://www.zotero.org/support/forum_guidelines#etiquette That's how things can be done at the moment. No one claims that it is perfect.
