    Hi

    opening an attached link to a file does not work here with me. The file definitely is there on my computer - I can locate it ... but Zotero says the file cannot be found. I can see in Zotero that the first caracter of the file name is missing (in file name in the right pane).

    I'm using 5.0.11 - German version

    Can you provide a Debug ID for a file-opening attempt?
  • kraut_librarian
    Sorry!

    I just submitted it with Debug ID D1155423174

    Thanks!

    Ah, OK, so this happened when the base directory was set to the drive root. This is fixed in 5.0.13, which will be available in a few minutes, though unfortunately any new paths you've saved (probably since 5.0) won't work properly until you relink them (and I'm afraid it might be all files under your base directory if you've changed that setting since upgrading).

    (If I understand the bug currectly, you can use Zutilo to batch re-link: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo/releases )
  • dstillman
    (Probably not, because this cut off the first letter of the saved path.)
  • dstillman
    (Oh, well maybe by hand if Zutilo lets you do that.)
