Error exporting collection

rcasero

Report ID: 823559747

I have a collection in My Library with 113 items. I right click on the collection, Export collection, select "Zotero RDF", tick "Export notes", don't tick "Export Files", click OK.

I choose the name of the collection with extension .rdf, and the ~/Downloads directory in Ubuntu, where I know I have permissions. CLick OK.

I get the error message "An error occurred while trying to export the selected file."

An .rdf file has been created, but it only contains


<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">;

</rdf:RDF>

[JavaScript Error: "Component returned failure code: 0x80520008 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS) [nsIFile.create]" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/file.js" line: 990}]

Do you get this if you export to an empty folder?

Note: I copied the content of the .rdf file in my discussion, but it doesn't display on my browser (maybe it's interpreting it as HTML). Let's see whether it will show if I put it between < pre > tags

Can you please edit your post to wrap the code in <code> </code> tags?

@dstillman The problem was with a broken soft link, that also broke syncing, as described above
