Upgrade Storageimport of bibtex file never finishes
Hi,
I am trying to import a small bibtex file into zotero and running into strange problems. I choose import, select the .bib file and hit "Open" and zotero greys out (zotero 2.0) with a small window saying "Importing Items". At the same time, the standard Firefox window asking what to do with an opened file open up giving me the opportunity to "cancel", save the file, open it with pybibliographic (another reference manager) or open it with firefox. In this dialogue, I have tried all these options and none seems to affect the result. In all cases, zotero just endlessly keeps trying to import the file, but never gets anywhere. Does anyone know what is going on?
My best guess is that this has something to do with my "Application" settings in Firefox's preferences and that the file is getting trapped by the standard firefox open dialogue before zotero gets its hands on it. In the applications settings, BibTex files are currently set to "Always ask" when firefox tries to open them. I could change that, but the other options don't seem to be particularly relevant.
Thanks for the help.
