Problem Locating Zotero Database

Hello,

I moved my database to a new location (it grew too large so is now on an SD card).

When I open Zotero, it prompts me to locate the database. I click 'Locate...'

I then get a pinwheel of death on my MacBook Pro. This is before I try to navigate to the SD card location. It is simply when Zotero opens the file interface for me to do so. This happens repeatedly. Eventually, Zotero quits unexpectedly, prompting an Apple alert.

I have the Apple error report, if that would be helpful.
  • Any ideas on this?
  • Does that dialog give you the option of using the default location?

    If so, you could do that first, which will create a new data directory in ~/Zotero with an empty database, and then see if Locate works any better.

    (Failing that, we can tell you how to specify the location manually, but let's try this first.)
