  Hi Ricardo,

  Qnotero doesn't use the Zotero note system, so that won't work. However, notes stored in Gnote should appear.

  First of all, you need to have an item in Zotero that has all the proper information. This must be a Journal Article, a Book Chapter, or something along those lines—not a .pdf directly inserted into Zotero (although a .pdf may be stored as an attachment to the reference).

  Next, you add a note to Gnote that has at least the first author and the year in it. This line must be bold, and may appear anywhere in the note. Like so:

  Duhamel et al. (1992) Science 255

  If you then search for Duhamel in Qnotero, a line should appear at the bottom that says 'Right click on item to view note'.

  If you have tried this and it doesn't work, then Qnotero may look in the wrong folder. By default, /home/[user]/.local/share/gnote is used. If this folder doesn't exist, /home/[user]/.gnote is used. If this folder doesn't exist either, notes are disabled.

  To get some debugging info, you can start Qnotero in a terminal and take a look at the relevant lines in the output. Qnotero should say that it is using GnoteProvider and specify a folder.

  libqnotero._themes.default.__init__(): using '/usr/share/qnotero/resources/default'
  qnotero.reInit(): using GnoteProvider
  libgnote.__init__(): gnote path is /home/sebastiaan/.local/share/gnote
  libzotero.__init__(): zotero_path = /home/sebastiaan/Zotero
  libzotero.update(): indexing completed in 0.456s
  libzotero.search(): search for 'dummy' completed in 0.020s
  qnotero.updateCheck(): opening http://files.cogsci.nl/software/qnotero/MOST_RECENT_VERSION.TXT
  qnotero.updateCheck(): most recent version is 0.48
  

  Cheers!
