Thanks Rob. I remember looking at Mendeley just after installing Zotero and deciding not to try two at the same time. I've installed Mendeley and it loads but I'm now getting the message: It appears that you have Qt installed on your system, but do not have the sqlite plugin installed, which

Hi Rob, Progress report. I reinstalled Mandeley and it seems to be working well. I also installed a Foxfire sql manager extension which may or may not have cured the Qt4 SQlite plugin problem. The only reference I could find about it was on Kubuntu not Windows. However, how do I get it to

Hi John, I use a lot both Zotero and LyX but my workflow consists in never using bibtex files directly exported from Zotero. Instead (for several reasons and not because of the problems you mention) I always export from Zotero to BibDesk (an application similar to JabRef, but only available for
