Collection sizes

pfudd
I've been using Zotero for over a year, but I just started syncing today. I'm finding that I've got way more data than will fit in 100meg of storage (900+ references, total space=460meg).

I want to prune my data, and to do that, I'd like to see how much space each sub-collection is taking up. A horizontal bargraph next to each name would be nice (scaled so 100%=largest sub-collection), but I'd settle for just numbers.

Thanks again!

    That's probably not going to happen—though someone could write a plugin—but you can also just use your OS to search for PDFs and/or other files in your Zotero data directory and sort by size.

    The PDFs in the data directory aren't grouped in collections, and some collections are more disposable than others. When you delete a collection, does it delete the references and PDFs? This could be why I've got too much data.

    No.

    It turns out that this is exactly the problem: I've got leftovers in my library (references and attachments not in a collection). Is there a way to identify and purge them?

    Thanks
