Gnotero

Gnotero is a Python Gtk application which provides access to your Zotero references. Zotero is an excellent open source reference manager, but it lacks a simple and direct way to access your references at the click of a button. That is why I created this simple program, which lives in the system tray and allows you to search through your references by Author and/ or Year of Publication. If a PDF file is attached to a reference you can open it directly from within Gnotero.

CHANGELOG

0.43
- Replaced the count() function in zotero_item.match() with 'in' statements
- Add the option to automatically search based on the contents of the clipboard
- Added remote control via gnoteroctrl
- Updated gnoteroconf for clipboard option
- Added icon to gnotero.exe under Windows
- Added positioning options to Gnoteroconf

0.42
- Enabled ellipsize by default, to make sure that every result is the same size and
that text doesn't spill over beyond the visible borders.
- Made live_search_time configurable, which indicates how fast Gnotero should autosearch
- Replaced the pdftk way of getting metadata with PyPDF, which is much faster
- Fixed a bug where Gnotero failed to open linked attachments

0.41
- Fixed window positioning so that the window is always within the screen boundaries (Linux).
Patch provided by Thomas Jost.
- Made the window position configurable under Windows (and if attach_menu_to_icon = no under Linux)

- Autoconfig now automatically adds comments to the .gnotero config file
- Gnotero now checks for updates automatically

0.40

- Gnotero now offers to locate Zotero automatically on the first run
