Progress indicator

I just synced my PDF collection (+- 50 MB) over https-WebDav with the 1.5SP2.2 release, and I noticed some weird behaviour in the progress indicator, including higher than 100% numbers (up to over 900%) and after some time a negative amount of data that still had to be uploaded. I also got some "no element found" errors (report 2025667816).

    I have had that indicator go up to -1440% (and perhaps further).

    This was occurring on the computer (computer #2) that had first downloaded all the files from server and storage server.

    But I just left it alone (went and had dinner) and when I came back it was done syncing and it was fine. I hit sync again on that computer #2 (since I did not have auto sync checked. It is now uploading (although there has been no change). It is at 273% with Uploading at -289065 and dropping. Download is 0KB remaining.

    I will see if it stops.

    I have to admit this was after I merged PDFs in the other computers (computer #1) Zotero/storage folder, deleted Zotero folder on this computer. Everything looks fine on the other side (computer #1).

    It stopped ! It was up to > 1969% uploading and then it stopped. Mousing over the sync "arrow" indicates Last Sync: Sunday Nov 09, 2008 7:03:05 PM - which is the time now. I will now select the Automatically Sync check box.

    I just added a snapshot on the side of computer #2 (the one with the bizarre numbers). It quickly sync'ed and was done in a second (and indicated the new correct sync time). so, it seems fine.

  • Thanks noksagt. Yes, the progress bar kinks described in the thread you mentioned (http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/4645/) are exactly what I experienced. they seem benign enough and great that you guys are aware of it. Great program. Thanks.

    I just file synced my library via WebDAV (250 MB) on Firefox 3.0.7, Mac OS X 10.5.6, Zotero 1.5b2. Surprisingly, the sync (seemingly successfully) finished when the progress bar was at exactly 50%, without any errors popping up. Maybe the data got counted double?

    P.S. I just got the same result during the down-sync of my library to a fresh installation of Firefox Portable 3.0.7 under Windows XP. The file sync finished at 50%, with no errors, and all files seem to be there. For both the up and down sync the progress indicator did indicate the right amount of data to send over (the 250 MB).
