Can't import exported Zotero RDF

I'm trying to use an XML editor to re-order an extensive author list on a single record. WhenI export that record as a Zotero RDF file, then immediately try to import said file, all the authors are missing. Unfortunately, defeats the point of the exercise (and no way to insert authors in the middle of the list via the standard interface? Is that a development target? Need help?).

The RDF import blowing away authors seems like a bug. Is this a known issue?

Thanks

  • no, definitely not a known bug. Which item type? And these are regular authors or some other type (editor, translator, artist, etc.?)
  • Hi Adam--Thanks for following up. This was the "Computer Program" record type, with "Programmer" authors. - Chris
  • I'd assume that's the problem -- we'll take a look.
  • This is now fixed — thanks for reporting. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.

    Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting.
