Remove duplicated items in the database automatially

sgsong
Dear All,

Is there is a way to remove duplicated references in a database automatically? I need to synchronize Zotero database between two computers. Each time I "import" database from other computer, I get duplicated items and have to remove them manually.

Thanks.

    Zotero does not currently have duplicate detection and when it does it will still probably not be the best solution for your issue. Instead of importing and exporting your library it is probably a better idea to copy your Zotero directory and move that back and forth. In either event in June Zotero will offer much more simple and automated syncing features in the 1.5 release.

    Can you use the same directory between Windows and Linux?
