FeatureRequest: Show citation key in PDF view

[noppelmax]

Hey everybody,

the new Zotero (6.0.8) includes an internal pdf viewer. Unfortunately the citation key is not shown in the info tab when viewing a pdf. It starts with Item Type instead of Citation Key while for a highlighted item in the library view it starts with Citation Key followed by Item Type. Can we fix this?

BBT Version: May 10th 2022
Zotero Version: 6.0.8
uname -a: Linux merry 5.15.0-33-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 18 13:34:26 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Kind regards,
Max

It looks like you did not upload an support log. The support log is important; it gives @retorquere your current BBT settings and a copy of the items under consideration as a test case so he can best replicate your issue, or build towards the desired behavior. Without it, @retorquere is effectively blind. Support logs are useful for both analysis and for enhancement requests; in the case of export enhancements, I need the copy of the references you have in mind.

If you did try to submit a support log, but the ID looked like D<number>, that is a Zotero debug report, which I cannot access. Please re-submit a BBT debug log by one of the methods below.

This request is much more likely than not to apply to you too @noppelmax, even if you think it unlikely. Please trust @retorquere when he says he will usually need one; he will more often than not just end up saying "please send a debug log". Let's just skip over the unnecesary delay this entails. Sending a debug log is very easy:

1. If your issue relates to how BBT behaves around a specific reference(s), such as citekey generation or export, select at least one of the items(s) under consideration, right-click it, and submit an BBT support log from that popup menu. If the problem is with export, please do include a sample of what you see exported, and what you expected to see exported for these references.

2. If the issue does not relate to references and is of a more general nature, generate an support log by restarting Zotero with debugging enabled (Help -> Debug Output Logging -> Restart with logging enabled), reproducing your problem, and selecting "Send Better BibTeX debug report..." from the help menu.

Once done, you will see a debug ID in red. Please post that debug id in the issue here.

Thank you!

I need feedback from the zotero devs for this. They're using a different way to draw that pane than the regular itempane, even when they look exactly the same, so my existing code doesn't work. I've been pushing for this and similar information on the dev forums for a few weeks now, but there is no response. So I'm stuck on this one (and others).

Is there anything I can do to help with this? This feature would help my workflow a lot.

[retorquere]

I've put in a new request for this with the developers, we'll see how it goes.

With Z7, is this now more feasible to implement?
