Sync error: this._deferred is null (Debug ID inside) [SOLVED]

Hey all,

yesterday i started to archive lots of articles from the Time Magazine Archives. I used the normal way of click-saving an article, then attaching another copy in printout format and a copy of the magazine cover to the zotero entry.

This means that i have a magazine entry, with two or three attached website snapshots.

Since doing that, i always get some slowdown with firefox when Zotero tries to sync and the error message this._deferred is null.

The Debug ID is D1134304170

Any ideas? I tried to search for this specific error message but couldnt find anything.
  • We'll fix this. In the meantime, you may be able to work around it by going to the 'storage/7G6CA68E' directory within your Zotero data directory and renaming the PDF in there, which I believe currently starts with a period. After fixing that, and relinking it in Zotero (you can paste 7G6CA68E into the quick search bar to find the item), this might go away.
  • Thanks very much - it was acutally that pdf with the periods which stopped the sync completely. Renaming and reattaching the pdf solved the problem! Can be marked as solved. :)
