#TAGSPACES VS ZOTERO OFFLINE#
It is remotely similar to other file tagging and note taking services (See Similar Products) on the basis of functionality, but it differs mainly because of its lack of database and its general offline / no-cloud / no vendor lock-in orientation.
Users can sync their files between devices by using services like Google Drive or Dropbox.
#TAGSPACES VS ZOTERO PORTABLE#
TagSpaces does not require Internet connection and access to cloud services in order to run on PC and portable devices. It has a responsive design which adapts to window size and proportions of the device in use. Users access their information on different devices through a single user interface. TagSpaces is compatible with most of the currently widespread platforms. Users create, name, edit, sort, group, rename and delete their own tags by following their own logic in the file-tagging process. Tags may vary in color and may also differ in purpose. File management and data associations occur by labeling files with tags. It helps users organize files, photos and other documents on their local drives. This is obviously only a minor annoyance, and I came here initially to alert you, since I assumed it was not intentional, but when I found this discussion, I figured I would add my two-cents.TagSpaces is an open source application for file navigation and data management.
#TAGSPACES VS ZOTERO HOW TO#
Yes, the way it is could force users to figure out how to use Zotero more efficiently, but I also feel like more options and consistency in the menus couldn't hurt, right? It's these quirks that make people feel overwhelmed and shy away from the new technology.Īt least for the way I and other people in my office use Zotero, it would be less confusing to have all item type menus have all of the item types, including web page. I have to tell them to add a reference of any type with the "add item" green plus-sign button, and then right-click on the "item type" field and select web page, because web page shows up in that menu. I am now training the rest of the staff to use Zotero, and although I have showed everyone efficient ways to enter references (straight from Firefox/chrome), some people prefer to enter them in manually, for whatever reason, and several people have approached me with the issue.
#TAGSPACES VS ZOTERO PLUS#
I understand the intention to encourage users to create web page items in the most efficient way possible, but I still think it would be useful if the "add item" (green plus sign) menu had all the item types for two reasons:ġ) I am building a library from references cited previously in our research center's publications over the past 10 years, and this has been frustrating for me because sometimes I need to manually enter a web page that no longer exists, which means I can't take a snapshot with the chrome extension or with Firefox.Ģ) I really like Zotero and am trying to "sell" Zotero to my colleagues as a more user-friendly citation manager than Refman, our previous citation manager.
It will save confusion, time, and dismay. So.please just add ALL of the available Item Types to the green button "more" list. It then made me wonder what OTHER types of Items are only available via some other means? This green button is broken? Do I have a bad install? Is it an error in the program? Am I confused? Let me spend some time looking around and investigating. Then I find that I can change existing items from whatever they are, to a Web Page, I just can't manually create a new item of that type. Hmmm, now I go over to Zotero and see THAT item has a Web Page Item type. Odd.Īnd then, in the course of some regular work, at a web page (in Chrome), I right click, save snapshot.
When I was manually moving items over into my new Zotero Tool, it wasn't a choice. I assumed that to be a complete, alphabetically sorted, list of the Item Types available to me. I determined what the available item types were by clicking the green button, and then More. As a new user, I was confused that "Web Page" was not available as an Item Type.
