  • Tag 2
    • annotation 3
  • ...
• Item 2
  • Tag 1

Thank you for your great work! I'm sorry could you tell me why I always get this error after items are selected? I'm using Zotero 7.

Hi, I'm having the same problem as @Crinstttina - I'm also using Zotero 7. @windingwind do you know what the problem might be?

I have a problem. After I copy the template(collect annotations by color) and paste it into template editor, some error occours like this # This template is specifically for importing/sharing, using better # notes 'import from clipboard': copy the content and # goto Zotero menu bar, click Edit->New Template from Clipboard. # Do not copy-paste this to better notes template editor directly. name: "[item] collect annotations by color(sort by color) " content: |- // @author windingwind // @link #227 $$# This template is specifically for importing/sharing, using better # notes 'import from clipboard': copy the content and # goto Zotero menu bar, click Edit->New Template from Clipboard. # Do not copy-paste this to better notes template editor directly. name: "[item] collect annotations by color(sort by color) " content: |- // @author windingwind // @link #227 $$. I realized I made a mistake, but how to fix it?
