Integration of new Zotero annotations capabilities #1763

Closed bepolymathe closed 2 years ago

bepolymathe commented 3 years ago

Hi @retorquere Thanks for this great great tool ! Zotero has launched a new integrated PDF reader that allows very interesting work on tags. It offers the possibility to put tags to highlighted text excerpts. Currently, the export of the bibliography in .bib integrates all the text extracts but not the tags. It would be very useful to be able to retrieve them somehow to integrate them in other uses (here org-mode). Would you be interested in this idea?

retorquere commented 3 years ago

Sure, but Zotero would have to provide a way to read those tags; when the page says "they're not yet searchable" that likely means they're not handled as regular tags inside Zotero.

Hi @retorquere

Yes you're right, it's a little early, but it was also to document it and not forget it. It will be possible normally.

Also, I'm wondering in what type of field of a .bib entry these tags could fit. :thinking:

retorquere commented 3 years ago

Please remind me when activity happens on this front. I don't follow all discussions on the Zotero forums, and new features need an advocate to provide input.

bepolymathe commented 3 years ago

ok, I will try to follow the news ;-)

Slightly related; when running automatic exports these fail with an error "translation failed". Two lines which stand out in the debug log; this error occured after upgrading to the Zotero beta and enabling the new PDF viewer.

(3)(+0000012): {better-bibtex true} +214 worker translation failed, error: <Error: Unexpected Zotero Item type "annotation" in chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/utilities.js itemToCSLJSON@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/utilities.js:1529:13 exportItemsByWorker@chrome://zotero-better-bibtex/content/common.js:63527:48 >

and later;

@corstian would you be OK with opening a separate issue for this?

corstian commented 3 years ago

@retorquere Done: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/issues/1770

retorquere commented 2 years ago

I'll be tracking work on this in issue #2126 -- I've requested the change from zotero, no idea when it will happen.
