    by rphair · March 3, 2026
    I appreciated your one-sentence tutorial on installing plugins. Do you have the patience to write a corresponding sentence for TheBrain.export, which I believe is a JavaScript file?

    by adamsmith · February 27, 2026
    There is no easy way, currently, to locally delete the files just from a specific group/library. It could be scripted (you can get all the folder names for a group with some javascript in Zotero and t
