Poor performance with 7.0.24 (64-bit)

russ.lewis

Hi

I'm having problems with this update. Mostly performance, as it takes 1Gb RAM! I use both Windows 10 and 11, pic below is on Windows 10 and I've had to close everything but Word and Zotero just to keep things running.

A smaller issue (bug) is renaming attachments based on parent no longer shows in the UI.

If I could revert to the earlier version I would... sorry.

Zotero 7 uses the same or less RAM as Zotero 6. It will depend on which files you have open, and 1 GB would be perfectly normal.

If you're seeing memory usage grow without ever decreasing, disable any third-party plugins.

Thanks dstillman for your clarification on 1Gb RAM being normal.

Concerning renaming, I wasn't running the command unnecessarily, just used to seeing the title change in the UI. Whilst the popup message does confirm the change, I just preferred the previous behaviour and should have added a ? after bug.
