v3.2

Changes Made

1. Fixed malformed XHTML comments in the Zotero preferences pane

The plugin preferences file contained two malformed XHTML comments. These comments were missing the closing -->, which could cause Zotero’s preferences pane to fail when loading or saving settings.

Updated:

<!--  Conversion options (collapsible) — wraps Conversion, Enrichments, VLM -->

<!--  Advanced (collapsible) — wraps Async transport + Advanced JSON -->

File:

addon/content/preferences.xhtml

2. Changed Markdown image export behavior

Docling Serve defaults to embedding images directly into Markdown as base64 data URLs, for example:

![Image](data:image/png;base64,...)

This makes converted Markdown files extremely large and hard to read.

The plugin now explicitly sends:

image_export_mode = placeholder

when building the conversion request.

This keeps Markdown output clean by replacing embedded images with placeholders instead of large base64 strings.

File:

src/modules/convert.ts

3. Updated local Docling Serve startup configuration

The local Docling Serve startup script was updated to avoid Apple Silicon MPS errors.

The server now defaults to CPU mode:

DOCLING_DEVICE=cpu

This avoids the PyTorch/MPS error:

Cannot convert a MPS Tensor to float64 dtype as the MPS framework doesn't support float64.

The sync conversion timeout was also increased:

DOCLING_SERVE_MAX_SYNC_WAIT=600

File:

start_docling.sh

4. Rebuilt the Zotero plugin

The plugin was rebuilt successfully after the fixes.

Generated package:

.scaffold/build/zotero-docling.xpi

Validation:

npx tsc --noEmit
npm run build

Both completed successfully.
