Zotero can't sync
Hi everybody
My Desktop Zotero Programm is having trouble recently to sync new entries or attached files. Next to the sign on top on the right side, which is the green arrow (the sign to sync) there is a warning symbol. When I click it, the following message appears:
"The name ‘eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%6…’ is too long to sync.
Search for the item with this name and shorten it. Note that the item may be in the trash or in a group library.
If you receive this message repeatedly for items saved from a particular site, you can report this issue in the Zotero Forums."
I shortened file-names - as suggested above - and also tried to sync with re-downloaded, 'fresh' files... But this error keeps appearing.
What does that mean? I would be really glad for your comments!
Thank you

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Search for an item which has this as a creator and delete/replace the creator.
We'd be very interested in the URL you imported that item from (i.e. what you have in the URL field if any, otherwise the title and the Library Catalog field), as obviously this makes no sense to have in Zotero in the first place.
