feature request: download of Supplementary Information

[ghost]

Hi

Is it already possible to download Supplementary Information of papers of the journals Nature and Science? If not, I would like to request this feature!

Hello,

In the current translator codebase there is indeed code for saving supplements from these two journals, so the feature is meant to be there already. However, I don't think the code is up-to-date.

For the journal Science, I tested with this article but I didn't get the supplements. There's been some related work and I'll look into it (#3128)

For the journal Nature, I'm seeing failures too (example).

BTW under the default settings, supplementary files are not saved; the behaviour is behind hidden preference settings.

Thanks!

Is it in general correct Supplementary Information will fail to download for most papers as it is still being worked on?

It really depends on the specific journal/publisher, but in general that's accurate, yes
