[5.0 Beta] PMID number

Javier Avalos
Hello. I use Zotero in MacOS Sierra 10.12.1. I am using the last update of Zotero 5: 5.0-beta.108+66549f9
I detected a minor bug: when you introduce the PMID number for a new item, it is temporarily blocked. If you introduce it again it works fine and it appears duplicated. Blockage is transient: if you do nothing, it eventually appears later. This happens only with the first one after you open Zotero. Other items that you introduce afterwards through the PMID number work fine.

    Does this happen only immediately after startup, or also after Zotero has been running? If the latter, can you provide a Debug ID for an add attempt that hangs and an example PMID that you can reproduce this with?

    As far as I am aware, it happens also when the program was already running. It only happens the first time I introduce a new item through its PMID number.
    I did a try with PMID 24070552 following the instructions, and I generated the Debug ID D1329833701.
    The problem is not important. I did not mean that the program is blocked: the introduction of the new item is hanged for a time, may be one minute or less, while ZOTERO keeps running, but it is finally introduced while you are doing other things. From this moment, new item introductions through PMID are achieved rapidly.
    I want to thank again the work carried out by the developpers of ZOTERO. The more I work with it, the more I like it, the opposite feeling I had before with Mendeley.
