Neooffice to Libreoffice migration failure

clement
Hello,

I have a complex document (350 pages, tables, figures, cross-references, hundreds of bibliographical references) that I wrote with Neooffice on my Mac (10.9.4). I switched to Libreoffice (latest version, with the latest version of the Zotero plugin for Firefox), and I can't insert my bibliography. I get the following lovely error message:


"Zotero Integration Error

Zotero experienced an error updating your document.

Database permanetly closed; not re-opening."


Any idea how to debug this?

Thank you,
Clement.
P.S.: I can share my ODT file if this can be of any help.

    It's very hard to say, but I'd start by running through these.

    There are, from the Zotero side, no real differences in LibreOffice and NeoOffice, but with that much complexity, I assume a small difference in how a reference or cross-reference is handled by LibreOffice could throw Zotero.

    Hi Adam,

    Many thanks, it worked by first inserting a citation, and then the bibliography. It's extremely slow however, I'm posting a new topic about this new issue.

    Huge documents would always have been slow, though. A full-lenght manuscript with hundreds of citations will just be laggy. There are a number of threads on that already.

    So, what's the solution? Patience?... or is there a list of tricks to speed up Zotero?

    If this slowness is a known problem, could the developer team work to make Zotero much faster? My document is typical of a book-length or PhD-length document. It would be a shame that Zotero would be usable only with paper-length documents (as it seems the case now).

    Thanks.
    Clement.
