Not compatible with Zotero Standalone #4

Closed BrianZbr closed 4 years ago

BrianZbr commented 10 years ago

I just used the shell script on a Linux machine to generate an .xpi file, but when I tried to install it I got the following message: "The add-on "Prevent Duplicates Plugin for Zotero" could not be installed. It may be incompatible with this version of Zotero Standalone." The Zotero version number is 4.0.17.

Ditto, but on Macintosh. Is there some way to get this going for the standalone versions, please? It would be immensely helpful as I am merging several databases and going through to manually clean up duplicates is a pain.

This can be made compatible with Zotero Standalone if you edit install.rdf and change the maxversion value for Zotero from 3.0.* to 4.* before zipping/creating the .xpi file. I was able to install this as an add-on to Zotero Standalone after doing the above procedure, but it doesn't seem to detect duplicates when I use it with Zotero for Firefox in connector mode. Maybe because the add-on within Firefox is now disabled because it is not verified?

Update on previous answer: Change maxversion value for Zotero from 3.0. to 5.0. before zipping/creating the .xpi file.
