Upgrade StorageIssues when exporting to BibTeX (Zotero 1.0.6 on FF3)
I just upgraded Firefox to version 3.0, and tried to export a collection of items as I used with Zotero on FF2 (same Zotero version, same items) to BibTeX format. However, I got this error message: "An error occurred while trying to export the select". Reviewing the resulting BibTeX file, I see it ends in the middle of a record, just before writing "pages" data:
@book{hempel_aspects_1965,
address = {New York},
title = {Aspects of Scientific Explanation, and Other Essays in the Philosophy of Science},
publisher = {The Free Press},
author = {C. G. Hempel},
year = {1965},
keywords = {Ciencia,Filosofía},
This coincides with message in Firefox JS Error Console:
Error: item.pages.replace is not a function
Source File: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/translate.js
Line: 2463
After seeing this I deleted and replaced Pages data of this item, and tried the export again, this time exporting was successful.
However, when I compare Zotero RDF export of problematic and unproblematic item, I cannot see any difference related to pages:

I hope this info to be useful to fix any problem related to Zotero. If you require complete RDF files, please just ask.
