Hi @daeh thank you so much for your support.

According to your request in the forum, I am attaching two MD files from my obsidian notes. One of them (the first one) is an old file, created from notes generated with Acrobat reader some months ago. The other is a newly created one with the latest beta version of Zotero (63).

@lindenmeyerSelfhealingBehaviourFuran2020.md

I am almost sure that this is probably a mistake from my side configuring the setup.

Thank you!

Loving the concept behind this plugin, anything that gets the Zotero+Obsidian bond stronger is amazing. Thank you!

I'm not sure the feasibility of this request, but is it possible to remove the limitation of .md notes starting with a '@'? I'm sure it would allow this plug-in to integrate with a broader array of workflows.

The Choose botton of Folder Containg Markdown Reading Note is not working. Nothing show up after I click the Choose botton. And I copy the file path of md notes in the text box, but the pulug in still can not find md nites.

Hello and thank you for a very needed add-on!

I have been using this add-on for a while, and it has been working perfectly. But recently Zotero crashed every time I tried to open it, and through some debugging with the people at the Zotero forum we finally found that the bug was within this add-on. When i removed it, Zotero could open again. I'm no programmer so will not give any tips on what needs to be done, but in the forum thread there was an advice for a line that should be removed. For further explanation see the thread here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/417064#Comment_417064

Hi @daeh ! Just to report a minor bug. When launching Zotero, the following message appears:

After that, no other issue, the plugin continues to work fine

So I linked the plugin to a folder in Obsidian "~/obsidian/cinema-project/1. Notes" but when I restart Zotero the message I get "no notes found." Is that because there is a space in the name of the folder? Thanks!

Zotero auto-updated the add-on, and after rebooting:

1. I can't enter into the Tools>Add-ons (no action!)
2. Looks like the BBT plugin is not working anymore
3. Your plugin does not update new notes from Obsidian

Zotero has no update, so it should not be a bug from their side.

EDIT: As the command menu "Add-ons" does not work, I can't even uninstall it.

Running the sync can't match items or parse items even though yaml citekey is present and custom filter set to .+.md$ Any help would be immensely appreciated.

I get this in the report:

original request for ZotObsCite support: https://twitter.com/DavidJaggi/status/1484130826635853825

Hi, is there a possibility to change the tag ObsCite attaches to the Zotero items?

Use case: I use the coloured tags in Zotero to indicate the status of the item. It moves from red="to read" or "to skim" to orange="read" and eventually green="finished notes" or violet="worth a second look". It would be really nice if it was possible to integrate the ObsCite tag into that workflow smoothly :)

Thank you!

I had this post also on obsidian-Forum as Reply:

I find your addon SUPER, even if it has not yet led to the goal or success with me.

I export Zotero items that I want to work with in Obsidian with the Zotero addon "mdnotes". This creates Markdown files with the title "@CITEKEY.md" (example: "@Akal_ea_2018_DistributedSensing.md").

These are located in the Obsidian Vault in a folder. The files also contain the additional Zotero link with the Zotero ID as the metadata field:

...
- title:: A Distributed Sensing Approach for Single Platform Image-Based Localization
- local:: [local zotero](zotero://select/items/1_4AYCPGBV)
- cloud:: http://zotero.org/users/4847583/items/4AYCPGBV
...

Example file: @Akal_ea_2018_DistributedSensing.md

The corresponding Zotero items should now get a tag "ObsCite". In my case, there is NO exported JSON file of all Zotero items. Your addon aborts the sync with the error message "BBT JSON Library not found". What is the purpose of the BBT JSON Library? Surely the information is directly accessible to the addon in Zotero? My Zotero contains about 80000 entries. If I would set an auto-export, every time I make a change in Zotero, the whole database would be exported.

In my opinion, this file is not necessary:

• Search Obsidian folder
• each file starting with "@" is a citekey probably present in Zotero
• Search this citekey in the Zotero database
• if found, then assign tag "ObsCite
• if not found (e.g. because deleted in Zotero in the meantime but still present in Obsidian), then write to a "missing entry" list
• Write the list with the missing entries:
  • as a Zotero note or
  • write it as a Markdown file into the specified folder with the citekeys
  • Suggested name: "zotero-obsidian-citations missing-entries.md".

Is there a reason for needing the BBT JSON library that I'm just not seeing?

Currently, matching via filename requires either @ at the beginning of the file or the citekey present in the yaml frontmatter. I'd like to match via filenames without @ and without a specific yaml frontmatter. Just via a filename in this format: citekey.md

Please add an option in the "MarkDBConnect Preferences" to open the MD files in Obsidian using the Obsidian Advanced URI instead of the default one. The main issue with using the default Obsidian URI is replacing the currently open tab instead of creating a new one.

Keep up the excellent work!

I have to use two separate Obsidian vaults (work and personal) but one Zotero Library (one account). The issue is that tags are removed from Zotero items when Obsidian Vault files are not found, which occurs when I switch between work and personal Vaults. This seems reasonable behavior to clean up tags, but of course causes problems across multiple vaults.

Perhaps a workaround could be, 1) option for tags be not removed at all, and/or 2) tags searched for items only in specific collections.

Dear @daeh,

for some reason the plugin won't work for me. The correct md files get picked up by the regex, and the corresponding citekeys are given to the plugin by bbt, but the don't get matched. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Hi there! Thanks for this plugin. I find, however, that when I right-click in Zotero on an Obsidian-Zotero synced item and point to "Open ObsidianMD Note" or "Show Markdown File" I only get a list that seems limited to 16 Obsidian notes although I may have many more notes with the relevant Zotero itemkey. I cannot seem to find any button to scroll down to see other notes or some other means to see them. Is this perhaps by design, or is it a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

I could not find any thread on this issue and decided to submit it as a new one. I am sorry if I missed an already-existing thread on it. Thanks for your help
