Question of unwanted page when creating zotero document

[yuxin-cn]

Hello,

I am currently facing a problem when I add zotero pdf to logseq.
For example, when I want to open a paper in logseq, after creating the page with pdf in logseq, it seems that logseq will at the same time create a single page for every single author of this paper. Is there any method to prevent this? It is time consuming to delete them by hand and I prefer not having those useless pages in my logseq.

Has anyone experienced this?
I would really appreciate for your hint and help.

Thanks!

I have the same issue. But I think the best solution is to add a way to hide nodes or properties in the graph (both in graph display and in just "showing pages") as all those pages are in the "authors" property

You could directly drop the author:: {xxx} line from the properties block. Then go to "All pages" and perform "remove orphaned pages". In this way, you could batch drop these author pages. A similar could be done for all the virtual pages (as they are not actually present in your local folders).

I was bothered by this in the beginning, but during my attempt to modify logseq source code, I suddenly realized that these "authors" and "journals" "virtual" pages are meaningful when you want to "discover" who and where to look for the most critical scholar and publication in one field.

Here's a Python script that can do it automatically.
make sure to backup the pages before running it,
Then go to "All pages" and perform "remove orphaned pages" as usual.
Then, it will remove Zotero's clutter on logseq.

import os
import glob


def delete_keyword_on_logseq_pages(directory, keyword="item-type::"):
    """
    Delete lines starting with keyword on all .md files in the specified directory
    examples:
            delete_keyword_on_logseq_pages(directory=r"path\to\logseq\pages\directory", keyword="authors::")
            delete_keyword_on_logseq_pages(directory=r"path\to\logseq\pages\directory", keyword="item-type::")
    :param directory:
    :param keyword:
    """
    # Use glob to find all .md files in the specified directory
    md_files = glob.glob(os.path.join(directory, "*.md"))
    for md_file in md_files:
        with open(md_file, "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
            lines = file.readlines()

        with open(md_file, "w", encoding="utf-8") as file:
            for line in lines:
                # Remove lines starting with "authors::"
                if not line.startswith(keyword):
                    file.write(line)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    directory_to_search = r"path\to\logseq\pages\directory"
    delete_keyword_on_logseq_pages(directory_to_search)
