Problem with importing the library from zotero-trunk to 1.0.4

stanislav
Hello, I'm using Firefox 3.0 RC1 and I just upgraded Zotero from Zotero-trunk (v. 1.5xxxx ) to the recently released 1.0.4. Although I have backed up my library database into a RDF file before moving to 1.0.4, when I try to import it all of my notes are gone (and yes, I checked 'export notes' option when saving the RDF file), respectively, there's only one particular sticky note with the same content under every single book/journal article in that newly imported database + it doesn't preserve my previous folder structure (some folders are completely missing). I've tried to open that RDF file in Firefox and it seems that all the notes are there - so they are only not imported properly by Zotero 1.0.4. I can't download that zotero-trunk version again, because it wants username/password as of recent few versions. Please, do you have any solution for this guys?

    I have a similar problem: I have been using the trunk XPI as it was the only thing compatible with FF3. I was glad to see the 1.04 release is FF3-compatible, thinking I could move off of the trunk to a stable branch, but after installing 1.04 I discovered that it could not read my database ("user data DB version is newer that SQL file"). Unfortunately I can't go back to the trunk XPI as it is now inexplicably password-protected. How can I get a password for trunk access? Once I have the trunk installed again, is there some way I can migrate to 1.04 without losing data?

    My post there explains why the XPI is password-protected and how to get back to 1.0.4.

    Send an e-mail to support@zot....org if you need a copy of the trunk XPI for recovery.

    stanislav: As I explain on that thread, you should only need to export to RDF any items created since you accepted the trunk DB upgrade, and you may have fewer problems with fewer items. But feel free to send us a zipped copy of the larger RDF file to look at as well, since the RDF export/import process obviously still has some bugs.
