2.0b6.1 problems: DOI, PDF import

mrsasha
Hi,

just to report that, after I updated firefox to 3.5 yesterday and Zotero to 2.0b6.1 today, after using it:
1. it won't resolve valid DOIs (checked through doi.org) i.e. Add item by identifier says "Zotero could not find a record for the specified identifier. Please verify the identifier and try again"
2. when I attach PDFs, it reports "The parameter is incorrect" for both pdfinfo and pdftotext

and, of course, there's the problem with refreshing data in the right panel (attachments).

Previous beta worked just fine, so I hope these problems will be solved soon.

    Where does it "report" this?
    and, of course, there's the problem with refreshing data in the right panel (attachments).
    This is fixed in 2.0b6.2 (as you probably know).

    Thanks for the response. The refreshing bug is now gone, but the DOI is still not working - luckily it's easy to work around it.

    As for the PDF problem, it's not Zotero reporting but pdfinfo, I get a normal windows message box, so presumably, pdfinfo has problems with the parameters Zotero is sending him. It worked before the update. On the other hand, maybe Firefox 3.5 broke something. In any case, the PDFs imported are not indexed.
