zotero crashes when indexing pdf
zotero 4.0.15
pdftotext 3.02
pdfinfo 3.02
I try to index the not-indexed files.
after a while zotero shuts down (stand alone)
same thing happens with zotero add on in ff
couldn't find a solution in the forum.
zotero says I have
2375 not indexed files
408 indexed
26 partly indexed
does it happen due to big amount of files?
Thank you for any support!

ff still crashes with zotero 4.0.15.r11443 when I try to index.
However, the first time I tried with the dev version it indexed some files. But I canceled because I wanted to do other work first. When I tried to start the indexing process again the crash happened nearly immediately.
474 indexed
30 partly
2300 not indexed
thanks, Nils
I still face the same problem. ff crashes after I start the indexing process. I also tried on different computers, same result everywhere. It seems as if sometimes some files are indexed before the crash, because now there are more indexed files than before and these are more than the ones I recently added to my library (when I add item the indexing works well for the single nmew added items)
if I can contribute anything to solve my problem, please let me know!
now I use 4.0.16.r11451
Best, Nils
I thought it is indexing, because the numbers changed compared to my previous post, but now I'm trying to run indexing (tried on two machines) and the number of indexed files is not changing before/after the crash.
Another thing I see is: The numbers on both computers are different. Shouldn't they be same when I check "sync full-text content"?
I have
632 indexed
38 partial
2228 unidexed
and
914 indexed
11 partial
1973 unidexed
I checked database integrity on both machines and no errors were found.
I don't know if it helps much. Console crashed with ff. So I could only save after restarting ff (via console). I did it twice and got different output. I sent two emails.
Is there a way to prevent the crashing of the console?
If Firefox is crashing, try typing about:crashes in the Firefox address bar and looking for a crash report for a recent crash (based on the timestamps). If it's being killed by the OS for memory consumption there might not be any, but if there is, click through on the most recent one and post the resulting Mozilla URL here.
You can look for unindexed items manually by expanding all items with the + key and just using the down arrow to go through each attachment, looking in the right-hand pane to see if each is indexed and indexing as you go. It's possible that way you can find one that will crash. There's currently no way to search for unindexed items.
But I'd suggest just not worrying about it for now. We're going to be replacing that Mozilla code, which is very slow anyway, in an upcoming version.
(If you have access to a Mac or Linux machine, you could also transfer your Zotero data directory to that, index unindexed items there, and then transfer that data directory back to this computer.)
the item wasn't indexed, caused a crash when I tried to "manually" reindex. I took it out of the storage.
Indexing is in progress now on the other machine for some minutes already without crash (but slow as you supposed). I'll leave it alone now over night. In case another crash occures I'll just wait for the next zotero versions.
Excellent support!!! Thanks a lot!!!
