Drag and drop PDF no longer working

amelia.topham

Hello,

I've always used Zotero via Firefox but have just downloaded standalone too, it asked if I wanted to sync libraries which I did and everything copied across fine. I've checked and my username and password are both entered fine too.

Since doing this though I can no longer drag and drop PDFs into Zotero, I've also created some folders and keep syncing and another person in our group can't see the folder I have made. I use this mainly as a Group library which I've not had these problems with before so I'm not sure where to go from here...

Help appreciated!

Thanks

Is this in "My Library" too, or just in the group? And this is both in Standalone and the Firefox version? Can you stll add PDFs using the "attach copy of file" function?

Let me also ask if this is on a Mac? Since el Capitan, sometimes I cannot successfully drag and drop either into the center column or to the left hand collection "folder". By this I mean dragging the pdf file from the Finder downloads folder to Zotero. This resolves itself when I close and reopen the Finder window (or open a new winder). This is very annoying because I do this several times a day for reports here the Zotero get info utility is rendered less time-saving than it usually is.

I suspect that this is an Apple issue as I have a similar problem with dragging images to the Pixelmator app.
