Description:

I'm running version 7.0.0-beta.108+80cc97125 (64-bit) on a Windows 11 machine.188BET靠谱吗I encountered several issues while adding and managing a PDF version of the book "Science Ideated: The Fall of Matter and the Contours of the Next Mainstream Scientific Worldview" by Bernardo Kastrup in Zotero.Below is a detailed description of each bug, along with the steps taken and the corresponding images highlighting the issues.

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Bugs:


  1. 188BET靠谱吗Adding PDF to Zotero:

  2. Retrieving Metadata:

  3. ISBN Reading Issues:

  4. Using Create Parent Item with ISBN:

  5. Attachment Not Linked Automatically:

  6. Incorrect Notes in Metadata:

  7. Attachment Renaming Discrepancy:

I hope these detailed observations assist in addressing and resolving these bugs.If further information or clarification is needed, please feel free to contact me.Thank you.

    6.is part of the metadata about the item from the library catalog.Some people find it useful, some don't, and what's in that field in library catalogs varies.

    188BET靠谱吗If you send the PDF to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread, we can take a look.It might have trouble with the spaces, which are much less common than hyphens.
    Double-clicking the ISBN does not highlight the entire string but only one segment at a time.
    188BET靠谱吗That doesn't have anything to do with Zotero — that's just how text selection works with spaces.
    Metadata retrieval was correct, but the process hung and required manually closing the box.
    We'd want to see a Debug IDfor that.How long did you wait?
    Noticed that the attachment was not linked with the item after closing the Create Parent Item box manually.
    It obviously gets moved under as part of the normal process, so if you cancel it, that could happen.
    Renamed the attachment according to the parent metadata.
    188BET靠谱吗The renaming worked as expected in the file system but was not reflected within Zotero's Item list.
    As adamsmith noted, attachment titles and filenames are different, and attachment titles are no longer changed when running Rename File from Parent Metadata manually.

    But this is also due to the Create Parent Item process getting interrupted.When that process runs to completion, the title is changed to just "PDF".

    The filename should also be changed automatically as long as you've enabled renaming for linked files in the settings.It looks like that's not working properly for Create Parent Item in beta 108 the way that it works for Retrieve Metadata, but we'll fix that for an upcoming version.

    Thanks for responding@adamsmithand@dstillmanto the bug report I submitted at:188BET靠谱吗https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/116417/metadata-retrieval-and-file-management-issues-with-pdf-in-zotero.

    Dan, you wanted to see a Debug ID for the hanging behavior of the Create Parent Item box I referred to in Section 4.188BET靠谱吗Unfortunately, I didn't have debugging enabled during that issue and subsequently closed Zotero.However, I've since enabled debugging and was able to duplicate the same problem with another book.I've included images for this:

    Image A:

    - Similar to earlier, I added the ISBN for "Systemic Thinking: Building Maps for Worlds of Systems" to the Create Parent Item option.Since you asked how long I waited before closing the box, I made sure to include the starting time in the image: 3:31 AM (Mountain Time, Idaho).

    Image B:

    - Observe that the Create Parent Item box is still open.Note the time as 3:41 AM.I figured letting it hang for ten minutes was long enough.

    Image C:

    - Like earlier, the attachment was not linked with the item and required manual drag and drop.

    Image D:

    - Sabastian, you mentioned that some people find the catalog metadata useful, some don't.I appreciate the point.However, the metadata for the previous note was a single sentence that consisted of incorrect information.The metadata included here is no better.Really, can you identify any benefit from that metadata?"The answer is, pioneer acron pancakes." What does that even mean?The point here is that perhaps it might be possible to institute an option to prevent third-party notes from being automatically included.Otherwise, considering the quality of this metadata, it interferes with workflow to delete it every time.

    - Dan, still relevant to your review, I've noticed that every time I've experienced this hanging Create Parent Item box, these type of notes are always created.And, I've never seen such notes being created in instances where the hanging is not occurring.Maybe that has something to do with the problem.

    The Debug ID is: "D1731632858"

    Dan, I also sent that PDF to the address you provided.

    Thank you both for your assistance!

    The note has the ToC.That seems quite useful?
  • P4R4D0X
    I suppose a ToC would be useful, @adamsmith.Yet, I had no idea that was a ToC.Is it correct though?Unless the user is comfortable with accumulating notes containing unverified metadata, or taking on the task of validating it every time it's inserted, its value is dubious, at best.Again, I do get catch your drift.However, my humble request for consideration of an On/Off feature for third-party note metadata at some point remains.

    @P4R4D0X: Let us know if you can still reproduce the hanging in the latest beta.
