"Attached file could not be found"; storage subdirectory discrepancies.
Recently I have been getting "attached file could not be found" error messages on one of my computers. They seem to occur for any attachment older than August 18, 2013 11:00 local time, whereas newer attachments are fine.
Debug output is D504740191 .
In that output, the file is looked for in directory 6Z9DAVPU,
which does not exist on that computer. The pdf file is actually located in directory SVKSMSRR (found by "ls"). I found similar discrepancies for other attachments.
However, on a different computer, the corresponding attachment is indeed in directory 6Z9DAVPU, and it opens without problem (as do newer attachments). I do all synching, database and files, via zotero.org.
Also, with the error message "attached file could not be found", there is the option of manually locating the file. I can point zotero to the correct file in SVKSMSRR, which it seems to accept, but this does not resolve the problem - the original error message still appears.
Please help. Thank you !

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
However, attachments used to be accessible on the computer with problems (Linux workstation) as well as on my laptop for years,
synching without major difficulties.
Were you using WebDAV previously?
