Safari extension is saving to zotero.org and not to the app.

Every time I try to save an article using the safari extension, it saves the source to the online Zotero library, and doesn't show up in my Zotero app library. Furthermore, it does not give me the option to move the source to a different folder when it is saved using the extension. I attached a screenshot of what I am talking about below. This is frustrating because I had it working just fine before I synced the online and application version, but now to save things from the internet I have to manually save it into my computer files, look it up in my finder, and drop it into the folder I want in my Zotero app. Someone please help me Im going crazy.

    Restart your computer and try again. It won't save to zotero.org unless 1) it can't connect to the Zotero app and 2) you specifically give it permission to save to the online library. If it can't connect, it will point you to the troubleshooting documentation, which you should follow rather than giving it permission to save to zotero.org.

    (Also, though, while you should certainly just fix this so that it saves directly to the app, even with that not working, there'd be no reason you'd need to save things to disk and drag them into the Zotero app. The app would sync down new items, and you could just add them to collections from the library root or the Unfiled Items collection.)
