![]() ![]() Switching folders once started is fine, not slow. I don't know why this is, but the items load very slowly: about eight seconds to come up onscreen if in a collection subfolder with only one item in it, but over 25 seconds for coming up into folders with more items. See the thread below for a discussion of doing this: zotero updates the database and gives access to it. Installing 5 manually and running it manually with. I haven'tĬhecked if this is sufficient to allow a Firefox-downgrade workaround. so if you try this, do as I did and backup your data directories first. WARNING: Updating to Zotero 5 makes some workarounds impossible, as when you first run it it will, without asking, upgrade your database, and there is reportedly no way to downgrade it so it will work with 4.0 again. It is, however, almost as easy as installing from a package manager. For these reasons, I've stopped recommending Zotero to nontechnical friends. ![]() You need to authenticate the files you download, as the distro's package manager no longer does it for you. npm's security issues are also able to affect you. So as I understand it, if you want to install Zotero 5, you do it without third-party auditing, security updates, or integration from your distro. As of March 30th, three days ago, the Zotero package has also been removed from Debian unstable. Package databases for the many distros derived from Debian stable, such as Ubuntu, will presumably also be affected. Zotero did not make it into the Debian stable release which will come out later this year (2019 "Buster" release). ![]() In principle, it is a good idea to have more eyes looking at npm script snippets, but no-one really wants to do it (especially if they are obfuscated code).ĭebian's zotero-standalone package was last updated in January of 2017. Progress is being made on some of the dependencies. The size and tedium of the job led the old package maintainer to resign, and some new volunteers have worked a fair bit on it and have discovered new necessary subjobs and have also given up. Standalone 5, ironically, has a huge number of little dependencies, all of which Debian would have to package. Unfortunately, it is not a simple problem. So apparently the Debian package is now effectively blocked, and this has been a known problem for over a year: Sorry, this was a while ago now I should have checked. Apparently I was wrong and I did install the Debian zotero-standalone package. ![]()
