No more access to files?
I updated my zotero standalone for mac to 4.0.22 and I cannot access files any more. The software used to have something like "view the file" or "open in the folder" and it does not have it any more. Should I now go through all folders where the programme is manually in search of the file? It is tiring. Also, it would be really great not to have these folders with numbers and files in them, but something more intelligible instead.
UPD: I just discovered that I can find out the folder where the file is by clicking on the top of the file in the preview programme. However, this does not leave out my initial irritation.

- When I right-click on the bibliographical entry, the third option is "add attachment".
- When I right-click on the file, the third option is "export item".
- There is no option "show file" in both cases.
Dan, this is the full menu:
add note
add attachment >
duplicate item
move item to trash
export item
create bibliography from item
generate report from item
I deleted mimeTypes.rdf and restarted Zotero standalone. Now I see the normal menu when I click on entries saved from the web-pages. In all other cases the menu remains the same as in my error report. You can see screnshots here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p75fhi4cjwalgy1/AABP03-ufsT0bITB8U_vQFTBa?dl=0.
The same thing happens in Zotero for Firefox.
what should I do?
Also, it definitely shouldn't matter, but what happens if you check your database integrity from the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the Zotero preferences?
Sorry for a long pause.
Thanks a lot for the explanation regarding notifications.
I have installed 4.0 Beta and generated Debug ID. It is D1120754548. The standalone was closed.
I have also checked the database integrity and the system says there is no error.
I'm hoping I've fixed this in the latest beta, so you should try updating to that and let me know if this still happens.
Thanks a lot for your answer!
The only thing that has .m4p in its description on about:plugins is QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3.
As for the problem, I still have it in zotero standalone, but in zotero for firefox I see the menu as it should be. Thus, you are right, beta is free from this error!
Thank you very much for your assistance!
