Orphaned files

upgui
Hello!

I finally managed to upgrade to zotero sync preview (had problems with the db). Now what happened is, that all pdf-links etc. are not working. I looked into the zotero storage folder and just found a few folders called like "3I6ECFRF". The orphaned files folder seems to have all my data, but here the dirs are called like normal numbers. I just tried to copy it all over, but still the links don't work.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? I didn't use webdav yet, was just on the way to set it up when I saw that all files "disappeared. Bit of a worst case scenario..

Thanks in advance!

    Okay, I managed to solve myself. What I did:

    - I closed firefox and restored the old .sqlite file
    - copied all files from orphaned to storage dir
    - started ff

    and voilà it works again. :)
