ZoteroMultipleLibraries 0.1.0

First release of ZoteroMultipleLibraries: several personal libraries side by side in one Zotero, each working like My Library.

Libraries

• New Library…, Rename Library…, Delete Library… from the collection tree context menu and the File menu (double-click renames).
• Extra libraries appear at the top level of the collection tree, right after My Library, with their own collections, saved searches, tags, Duplicate Items, Unfiled Items, Retracted Items, and Trash. Drag and drop, the reader, import/export, the connector, and citations work as in My Library.
• Collection trees in the Select Items, Edit Bibliography, and citation dialogs show them too.
• Without the plugin, the libraries remain in the database as ordinary editable group libraries and are never synced or deleted by Zotero.

Syncing

• Settings → ZoteroMultipleLibraries. A new library is local only. It can be linked to a private zotero.org group of your account, after which Zotero's own sync carries its data.
• Attachment files of a linked library can go to a WebDAV server of the library's own (URL, username, password, Verify Server), to Zotero storage, or not be synced at all. Your existing WebDAV settings and credentials are never read or changed.

Requirements: Zotero 10 (tested on 10.0.4).

Known limitations: no linked-file attachments in extra libraries (as for group libraries); linking to a group cannot be undone from within Zotero; sync of a linked group against zotero.org was not exercised by the automated tests.

Install: Tools → Plugins → gear icon → Install Plugin From File… with the .xpi below.
