Suggestion "interval sync option" & Zotero Error Report ID: 1028726921

zurpher
I experienced an error message stating "obj.toJSON is not a function". Whatever that was, it seems that the sync function is currently working again.

Would it be possible to have an interval sync option as a middle way between continuous sync and manual sync?

    If you see the toJSON error again, we'd want to see a Debug ID for a sync attempt that produces that.

    Haven't seen the JSON error but I get occasionally the following error.

    >> "Too many sync attempts -- stopping" <<

    This is not critical but some form of interval sync option could help with that.

    This doesn't have anything to do with sync frequency. Both of these messages indicate that some unexpected error has occurred, and we'd need a Debug ID to say more. Normal syncing just works.

    But I cannot reproduce these errors reliably. The "Too many sync attempts -- stopping" error sometimes appears, when I am still working on an entry while zotero is already happily syncing away. Sometimes also only a window opens and wants me to choose between the local and server version of an entry I am working on. As mentioned, these problems only occur sporadically. When I find a way to reproduce them systematically, I am happy to provide a Debug ID then.

    On a different note, thanks for your work on zotero. =)
