Upgrade StorageBibTex import drops all Book Chapter titles
I'm testing out Zotero 1.5b1 with my existing database of about 4100 references. Apart from the fact that import overwhelms Firefox requiring me to switch to Safari for about 45 min till its done, I encountered a pretty major error in how Zotero parsed my BibTex file. Now I'm no BibTex expert, so its possible that its something wrong with how Sente (my preferred bibliographic software) exports BibTex, but Zotero is not pulling in the chapter titles for book sections. Here is an example. The following record is imported with the Book Title as the article title and no book title listed (although it is correctly identified as a "book section" rather than a book):

booktitle: The title of the book, if only part of it is being cited
chapter: The chapter number
title: The title of the work
And as Dan noted, you will need to fill booktitle and title.
I have used Sente in the past and found that it tends to mangle exports a wee bit.
