very very long access time
Hello
I am a long term user of Zotero. But I am more and more disapointed with the time needed to open the zotero pane and to download and grab the references, be it from the web or from academic journals publishers, with PDF.
It is not unusual that it takes two three minutes to open, with firefox (latest version) running without respondind anymore.
Can it be related with the fact that my zotero database is now over Go? It is becoming so unproductive that I am wondering if i have to try google chrome, or the standalone version. But since my my objective is to grab newpapers and blog articles I think I definitively need to work with a browser.
Here is a error report about the last process of opening and grabing a reference: 1967991168

Do you sugest to uninstall ZotFile and Zutillo? there are very useful for managing the data and attachments.
2) No, I'm saying to disable them temporarily to see if the problem still happens without them. They should be disabled when you generate the Debug ID.
here is my debud report : D1031259896
While saving a reference from the web, it took about 30", firefox turned without being reachable, etc.
I have desactivated Zotfile, Zutilo, word plugin and locale switcher (which I never use I think i will supress it)
Also, what are your index stats at the bottom of that pane?
Indexed 7020
Partially 51
non indexed: 1810
word: 374556
(I don't know if these stats are impressive. The computer has restarted this night and I just copied them after opening the computer and having waited for about 50" when opening zotero)
Anyhow, this suggests that it's full-text indexing that's slowing down your saves. How recent is this computer? Is your Zotero data directory in its default location on your local hard drive, or have you moved it elsewhere (network share, Dropbox, etc.)?
(We're planning to do more automated DB optimization in the future, and we're also going to be overhauling full-text indexing to handle large indexes better, but this might be of more immediate help.)
Zotero is in the default location, on my hard drive.
Do you advise to stop indexing the PDF if I understand. What will be the consequence? Zotero will be searchable only by author, date, title and tags? not the content?
Thank you for DB Repair Tool. I think I have to find free time to perform it, may be vacation!? for 18 Go...
I wasn't recommending disabling full-text indexing, just suggesting it as a debugging step. But yes, if you disable full-text indexing, you'll be able to search by what you see within the Zotero interface but not by the content of attachments.
