Bug: Export/Import fails

mronkko

My colleague is using Zotero 1.5b2 and I am using b2.1

He exported a collection as RDF and shared that for me with DropBox. When I try to import the collection, the import goes on forever. The last message on the console is

zotero(2)(+0000005): Translate: Translation using RDF failed:

What I would expect to see is either
1) The import works
or
2) I get an error message

Now I get only a progress dialog that goes on forever.

My colleague uses Windows and I use Mac. However, he is not able to import this particular file himself either.

Please include a Report ID from Report Errors when reporting an error.

I'm guessing you're using Firefox 3.5b4? There's an incompatibility in 1.5b2 with Firefox 3.5b4 that affects import. It's already fixed on the trunk and will be included in the next beta, which will be available shortly. If you like, you can try the dev XPI and let us know if it's fixed and then switch to the next beta once it's out.

I am using FF 3.5 and my colleague is using 3.0.8. Neither browser can import the file that was created by Zotero .

This should be fixed in 2.0b3.

Yes, that did it. Thanks.
