Standalone "not responding" -- due to synch?
For quite some time now, I've had problems with Zotero Standalone freezing -- or "(not responding)". Basically, whatever I do in Zotero will get interrupted, sooner or later, by the 'not responding' freeze -- very frustrating. I can see no clear pattern in when this happens: It happens when I'm searching, editing references or adding notes, or adding/editing citations in Word. But perhaps it is somehow related to Zotero's frequent database synching (OTOH; sometimes Zotero synchs without the freeze).
Any ideas on how I can resolve this problem?
I'm using Zotero 4.0.8 on Windows 7.

But Zotero still freezes every now and then when I, for instance, edit a note or a reference. Any ideas?
If you're still getting freezes with file syncing completely disabled, I'd need a Debug ID for a sync that causes such a freeze.
However, disabling automatic sync seems to have removed much of the problem, but I still get freezes for instance when searching the library.
For instance, in this bug report (D2132683768), the search for "binder" causes a "(not responding)" freeze, but not the two previous searches.
I'm happy to look at additional Debug IDs that demonstrate the issue, though.
Just a thought: Could the problem be caused by storing the Zotero files on a network drive (on my local network), rather than on my local computer?
Thanks!
I caused this by just switching to Zotero, searching for one name, then searching for another. Took a long time to respond. There's nothing else other than Chrome running at the moment.
Thanks!!
