v0.3.0 — Group library support & reliability improvements

07 May 18:25

Choose a tag to compare

What's new

Group library support

  • Sync items from any Zotero group library (private, public-closed, or public-open) to NotebookLM
  • New Library dropdown in the popup — pick your library first, then choose a collection
  • Groups with no user-created collections still appear in the picker
  • Mappings tab now shows a library badge for group-sourced syncs

In-popup prerequisite banner

  • Both To NotebookLM and To Zotero tabs now show a collapsible notice with:
    1. The English language requirement for NotebookLM
    2. A heads-up about the known macOS PDF upload bug (fix in progress)
  • Collapse state is saved across sessions — dismiss once, stays compact

Known issues

  • macOS: A bug may prevent PDFs from uploading correctly on macOS. A fix is actively being worked on. URLs sync normally in the meantime.

Installation

Zotero plugin: download nz-bridge.xpi and install via Zotero → Tools → Plugins → Install from file.
Browser extension: download the ZIP and load as an unpacked extension in Chrome or Edge (chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked).

v0.2.1 — Reliable PDF uploads for large collections

23 Apr 11:08

What's fixed

PDF uploads in large collections (30+ files) were silently dropping files with the error "Trusted click on upload files did not open file chooser". This release makes uploads reliable regardless of collection size.

Changes

  • Automatic retries: each PDF now retries up to 3 times with progressive backoff (1.5s → 3s → 5s) if the upload dialog doesn't respond in time
  • Longer file-chooser timeout: increased from 8s to 15s to handle slow systems and heavy NotebookLM loads
  • Stale dialog cleanup: any leftover dialog from a previous upload cycle is closed before starting the next one
  • Larger inter-file gap: increased from 800ms to 2000ms to give NotebookLM's upload queue time to drain between files
  • Better error messages: failed uploads now show grouped error counts and the titles of up to 5 failed PDFs, instead of truncating to 3 identical error strings

Note on upload speed

Upload time per file may be slightly longer than v0.2.0 due to the increased inter-file gap. Actual time depends on PDF size, internet connection speed, and NotebookLM's response time. This trade-off ensures all files upload successfully.

Installation

Zotero plugin: download nz-bridge.xpi and drag it into Zotero → Tools → Plugins.
Browser extension: download the ZIP and load as an unpacked extension in Chrome or Edge (chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked).

v0.2.0 — Selective sync, real-time progress & faster uploads

19 Apr 22:24

What's new

  • Selective sync — After selecting a Zotero collection, a grouped checklist shows all PDFs and URLs separately. Uncheck any items you don't want to upload before clicking Sync.
  • Real-time progress bar — See exactly which file is uploading and how many items remain (e.g. Uploading paper.pdf — 3 / 24).
  • Progress persistence — If you close the popup and reopen it mid-sync, the progress bar picks up where it left off.
  • Fixed: PDFs opening as browser tabs — A broken CDP drag-event fallback was causing PDFs to open as new Chrome/Edge tabs instead of uploading. This is now fixed.
  • Faster PDF uploads — ~3–5s per file (down from ~10–15s), and the popup no longer times out on large collections.

v0.1.3 — Pro plan support for large collections

What's new

  • 50-source limit is now a warning, not a blocker. Pro plan users can sync collections with more than 50 items to NotebookLM without being stopped. Free-tier users see a notice in the popup but are no longer blocked from attempting the sync.
