Thanks tribble, good to have some first-hand advice.
I am certainly interested to try linking up my zaurus and an iliad via a peer-to-peer wifi network... which makes me wonder if the iliad can be used as an X-windows client.... off topic I know |

Zotero users?
Hi,
Are there any Zotero users out there? What are your experiences. The combination of Zotero and Iliad looks awesome. But to what extent can they be integrated? Is it possible to run Firefox on the Iliad in some fashion? |

Or I should say that I've done that a couple of times but haven't made it a habit. I need to automate the process. best, Matt |

Hi Matt,
That sounds pretty straightforward actually. I'm amazed at the capabilities of Zotero -- especially the automatic download. I now have some 500 pdf articles on my computer and I'm not in a mood to print them all out. A complication in my case is that I run Ubuntu -- you wouldn't have any experiences of that? yours, Erik |

I just floated this discussion on zotero.org to see if we could get some insight from the other side... theoretically, firefox could run on the iliad... and theoretically, zotero could, right?

True - but last I checked, getting a song / CD into itunes was a drag and drop - I'm just hoping for a more streamlined approach... just being lazy that way.
With the wireless functionality... that could be an efficient way to "synchronize" with Zotero? or other reference / note manager software... just brainstorming out loud. |

how about samba
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ighlight=samba
this thread mentions how to set up samba on the iliad, probably the easiest way to transfer files, as you could mount the iliad on your pc files system and use it just like local storage, this is what I do with my zaurus anyway. |

That being said, samba - along with the Iliad's wireless functionality - does make for a possibly more elegant solution. Run samba on both host computer and Iliad and have untethered drag and drop file transfer. best, Matt |

I just take notes in the "Review" window in jabref, so they are relatively easy to search, including specifying fields and are all in one place. Here's the jabref export filter in case anyone is interested. It needs to be named iliad.layout but the file upload seems to want me to call it .txt Last edited by daudi; 01-10-2008 at 09:35 AM. |

daudi, could you show more explicitly how you make the container folders and the files that are supposed to go in there? Examples would be greatly appreciated.
Best, / Sp |

Here's the bash script that I use. It's pretty simple really. It creates a scribble.irx file (for holding your scribbles), and just creates a directory, moves in the pdf, scribble and manifest files, and renames the directory. I now create the manifest file using the jabref template earlier in this thread.
I have another version of the script that I need to merge with this one that also includes an image, or rather the path to an image depending on the journal. Code:
<image>../_cover-images/$3.png</image> This way I only need one copy of each image for each journal. I have this integrated with my file manager so I just create the manifest file using jabref, and save it in the same directory as the PDF file and then call this script on the PDF file. |

Oops, here's the script.
