Zotero library updates are not taken into account

[TiphaineV]

Hello,

Thanks for this super useful plugin. :) When I add new articles to my zotero, they are not available in obsidian unless I go to settings, pandoc ref list, and toggle the library sync again. Is this expected behaviour?

I experience the same.

Thanks for the intermediate solution of toggeling the Zotero Sync, though! This was driving me crazy :D

I'll have to look into why it's not updating, but you can manually refresh by clicking on the @ symbol in the status bar then clicking refresh bibliography:

Thanks for the quick reply, this is even better! Good intermediate solution.

Just thought I would add that I have been having this issue even after toggling "Pull bibliography from Zotero". It seems like the issue may be on the Zotero/BetterBibTex side. One workaround that seems to work for me is to export my entire library to a bib file and enable the "background export" option. I think this makes sure that whatever pandoc reference lists is using to get references is now updated with all of the references from the library and is periodically updated whenever anything is added to the library.

@holmesco This is what I do as well.

One workaround that seems to work for me is to export my entire library to a bib file and enable the "background export" option.

However, it's much faster to use a Better Bibtex JSON file, instead of a bib file. Because when you use a bib file, Pandoc Reference List has to convert it into a JSON file anyway. This makes Pandoc Reference List have much less of a toll of startup times for me.
