RIS imports not recognized

cfarnum
Hello...I've been trying to do batch imports from various databases, saving as RIS files...after I drag and drop it into a Zotero folder, when I try to double click and extract the citations, I get the following message: Application not found. The file destination also references my C drive and Zotero storage...any ideas?? Never had a problem with RIS before.

    Not sure if that's the issue, but you wouldn't drag&drop RIS to Zotero -- that imports it as if it were an article, not metadata. Use the "Import" option from the menu instead.

    Thanks Adam...that did work for me. I seem to recall in a previous version that you could drag and drop the RIS file into a specific folder, and then click to extract the citations into that folder (but maybe I'm remembering incorrectly?)

    In any case, thanks for your prompt reply.

    Cheers,
    C.

    No, that has never existed. You can use import from clipboard to import into the currently selected collection and I think import has the option to use the current collection.
