Zotero-better-bibtex: Drag-and-drop yields bibtex entry, not citation key

Created on 17 May 2017  Â·  6Comments  Â·  Source: retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex

When I try to drag-and-drop, instead of a citation key I get the bib entry. For example, where I would expect to have the inline text \cite{darwin_origin_1859} I get the entry @book{darwin_origin_1859, title = {On the {{Origin}} of {{Species}}}, publisher = {{London: John Murray}}, author = {Darwin, C. R.}, date = {1859}}.

My settings in the Better BibTeX tab are:

  • Citation key format: [zotero];
  • QuickCopy format: all options drop the bib entry, including LaTeX and Cite Keys;
  • LaTeX command: cite.

My settings in the Zotero Export tab are:

  • Default Output Format: Better BibTex.

Drag-and-drop worked as expected a couple of weeks ago, and I don't think I have changed much since then. I have switched every setting in those tabs back and forth, restarting after each attempt. Thanks

Linux x86_64 Linux x86_64, Firefox 52.0.2, Zotero 4.0.29.19, Better BibTex 1.6.96.

Setting the quick copy format to Better BibTeX Quick Copy should do it.

Hi for the latest version, I just cannot find the option as you mentioned above, could you help me to find an updated path? Thank you.

Edit->Preferences-> Export tab -> (not sure what this step is) Default Output Format

It's still in the same place:

QuickCopy

Thank you so much,

I think previously I go to the wrong place (Better Bib Tex button), now I found it.
