[JURIS-M] Syncing across 2 computers? Attached files cannot be found despite proper setup?
Hi all,
I know there are several questions out there already floating around concerning syncing across multiple computers, but after spending the entire day with no improvements I have decided to turn to the forums again.
I have mainly been using Juris-M standalone on a Mac laptop, and installed a standalone on my Windows PC desktop in order to access from both places. I do NOT use Zotero storage, I have it hooked up to my Dropbox account. All the citation data synced perfectly onto my Windows but whenever I try to click on the PDF attachment a pop-up appears with the prompt "The attached file could not be found.It may have been moved or deleted outside of Zotero."
The Dropbox file configuration is identical on both computers, I have both the Base Directories set up to my Dropbox folder and have left my Data Directory location as is on the use profile directory option. My Zotfile Preferences also have my dropbox as the custom "Source Folder for Attaching new Files" as well as for the "Location of Files." Other than that I do not think I have messed with any of the other settings.
The link below is a screenshot of what my PDF attachments look like in my Library:

Unfortunately this is a slightly urgent matter, and any help would be appreciated!

If you provide a Debug ID for trying to open a PDF that's not found, we can tell you where it's looking (or you can see yourself in the debug output).
As opposed to what it looks like in this second screenshot where I created a citation on my mac and then pressed cmd+option while dropping the PDF to make it a linked attachment. When I did it this way I was able to without problems open the PDF on my PC.

Working on providing the Debug ID, but saying it has a invalid response. Will post ID shortly.
But here is the debug output:

Sorry for the delay in responding.
Upgrading to Juris-m 5.0 will be the way to fix this.
The code for JM5 is ready. I've built the versions for Linux and Mac, and Windows will be out later today. I'll ping back to this thread when it's available.
