Error report 829573780
I attached a PDF to an item in my library, and it seemed to have illegal characters. The error was reported during sync with the Zotero server, so I renamed the file every way possible - actually only two: via the Zotero GUI, and via the OS. I also deleted the item attachment and relinked it, but I still get the error.
Firefox 9.0.1
Zotero plug-in version 2.1.10
Firefox 9.0.1
Zotero plug-in version 2.1.10
(Using "Rename File from Parent Metadata" in the attachment context menu should also strip invalid characters automatically, though I don't remember if 2.1.10 does that properly.)
I've checked the 'trash', nothing there. Is there perhaps a config file I can delete?
Did you try just searching through the 'storage' directory within your Zotero data directory?
I've still got two local copies within the Zotero data dir. One of them had an illegal character, so I renamed it, restarted Firefox, synced again, and got the error again.
I then went through my (home) filesystem (find ~/ -name Kukkonen* -print) and zipped or deleted any version I could find of that file. This is where I found one of them:
~/.local/share/data/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/2UC3EKU9/Kukkonen and Clauser - 1994 - Simulation of heat transfer at the Kola deephole .pdf
I then removed the item (citation) from Zotero by selecting the option on right-click 'Delete selected item from library'.
Restarted Firefox and synced again, still get the error.

Ben.
You're still getting the exact same error.
(b) Yes, emptied the rubbish bin.
(c) Perhaps the database thinks there is still an item somewhere? How can I find out where it thinks it is?
Right, that's solved it. Thanks for your patience Dan.
I just spent hours trying to find the file causing the error after deleting it (presumably) everywhere.
I just did not see that trash icon in Zotero....
