Profiles in Zotero

heraclito2077

Hi,
I have several directories, each directory is a profile that zotero created earlier. I moved all those directories (profiles) to another pc, on this pc I have zotero installed. How can I make zotero recognize each of these directories as a profile?

Thanks in advance

Can I ask why you're interested in the profiles? They don't actually store more than the installed add-ons and the preferences. Might be possible to restore them, but not sure how exactly & might take some time.

If you're interested in the data in those different profiles, you'd run Zotero with profile manager (i.e. the -P flag like before), re-create as many profiles as you need, and then set as custom data directories the various data directories used previously. That will restore all data exactly as before.
