Strange file sync problem
I've only been using Zotero for a couple of weeks. It's brought a great deal of sanity to my collection of papers. Thank you!
Now I only have one problem. I've set up a WebDAV server for syncing my files between machines. Everything seems to be working except that I have one PDF file that seems to cause Zotero to hang when it tries to transfer it to my server. It's the strangest thing. If I delete that file from my library, then zotero syncs everything else just fine. However, when I put it back, it causes zotero to hang again. I've checked permissions on the file. I've renamed the file. I've deleted and re-entered the file. I can't seem to figure out what is going wrong. I've looked at my server and the troublesome file isn't there. The server has plenty of free space. Do you have a suggestion for what else to try?
