Zotero 5 beta: When is an import finished?

alanterra
I need to import thousands of items to my database. I am using ZotFile to move the attachments. After I import about 900 items (from a bibtex file), it appears that Zotero + ZotFile continue to process them in the background (the display updates, Zotfile puts up its little dialogs, error messages show up, etc), but there is no progress dialog, and I can't figure out when it has finished processing the import. I don't want to start a 2nd import while the first one is going (just on the chance that this will cause problems).

How do I figure out when an import is done?

Zotero 5.0-beta.111+aa78387 + MacOS Sierra 10.12.2

    The display error is with Zotfile--its dialog doesn't close properly. Without Zotfile installed, Zotero seems to end its import dialog properly. You should report this bug in the Zotfile thread on these forums or on Zotfile's Github page.

    Thanks. I'll try importing with zotfile turned off.

    Yes, I confirmed that this is a zotfile issue.
