Is this an unsynced library? I can't replicate this locally, but all my libraries are synced, so have numerical ideas other than 0.

[Simplenuity]

Yes, all three systems I've tested it on have local libraries only.

[adam3smith]

Could you upload or link to a minimal .odt file with 2 citations from a local-only library here, please? It'd be a hassle for me to create that.

[Simplenuity]

Please find attached two files:

• 'test (citations).odt' - file with active citations, some converted via plugin, others added directly
• 'test (markers).odt' - result of trying to convert citations in file above via plugin to markers
  test (citations).odt
  test (markers).odt

This is unfortunately still relevant.
Anything I can help to get this investigated or even sorted?

I'm having the same issue on MacOS 12.4, LibreOffice 7.3.2.2 for Apple Silicon (M1), and Zotero 6.0.9-beta.6+b215d93ac.

My library is synced and updated with no errors. Whenever I convert a document with Zotero references to markers, all the markers have the following identifier: "zu:0:undefined."

Here are two files, the first with 2 citations I added using the regular Zotero interface, and the second with the defective plain-text citation markers generated by ODF-scan:

Zotero reference sample (citation).odt
Zotero reference sample (markers).odt

It would be great if someone could help me figure out what the problem is. Please let me know if I can provide any other information.

[adam3smith]

@nebedaay -- could you try this version?

[nebedaay]

@adam3smith - Thanks for the quick fix! I installed that, and now it functions properly. I get the following markers:

Here is a reference { | (Brown 2007) | | |zu:649:7SR4Y7YV}, and here is another { | (Hallaq 2012) | | |zu:649:24BPN6R3}.

It then converts back into Zotero references as expected. Looks like you've solved my problem. Thanks again.

@Simplenuity your issue should now also be fixed in the latest release (2.0.46)

[Simplenuity]

@adam3smith many thanks!
Just tested in Zotero 5.0.96.3 (Linux Lite (based on Ubuntu 18.04)) with ODF Scan 2.0.46 (automatically updated): working!
Highly appreciated!

So I haven't used the one you linked to above: zotero-odf-scan-v2.0.44-beta.xpi

FYI: Haven't used this Zotero installation for a while. So am not sure whether caused by the update. But there are now two menu entries 'ODF scan'. Both are working.

[adam3smith]

Thanks for testing. Your error was different, so 2.0.46 was the first version fixing it. The duplicate menu disappears after restarting Zotero

[Simplenuity]

Thanks!
