Worse experience of Windows with multiple PDF tabs in Zotero6.0.20

JACKPeng
Although Zotero 6.0.20 reduce memory usage on Windows with multiple PDF tabs, if I have more than 2 PDFs open, I can't switch to other tabs quickly and I have to wait for Zotero to re-render, I wish Zotero would give us a button to use more memory.

    We've increased the limit on Windows to 3 tabs in 6.0.22. On Windows, Zotero can currently only use ~3 GB of memory, regardless of how much system memory there is, so there needs to be a limit to keep Zotero from getting very slow. The memory limititation will be removed in Zotero 7, planned for later this year.

    That's great.It enhanced my experience in zotero.Hope that 64-bit version of Zotero7 will be comming soon. Beside, I hope that the migration will be seamless.

    We're not sure yet if we'll be able to auto-upgrade people on 32-bit builds to the 64-bit build, but we'll certainly make sure it's possible to install the 64-bit version and have that replace the 32-bit version without any problems.

    I think the most important thing is that the configuration files and extensions can be migrated to the new version, if not seamlessly, I hope that zotero7 can coexist with zotero6
