Importing Zotero DB including attached files
Hi, to start, great software. I have one problem though. I managed to export entries from one database (with the option to included the files selected). However, when importing it in another Zotero db, the attachments are not included.
I would say that that is a quit important feature that allows people to share libraries. In this case, there are several people collecting reference material and once in a while we want to merge the different libraries.
I know one could link instead of attach files, but then one has to check the path and make sure the file names are never the same, which is much more work in a collaborative setting like ours.
Cheers, Paulo

I can export a database including attachments. But when importing in another Zotero database, the references are imported, but without their attached files.
Not sure if that would make the difference, but I have installed both Zotero databases in custom folders, i.e., not in my firefox profile.
Just to complement this, references with attached notes are actually imported with their attached notes. But attached pdf files, websites snapshots and other files not.
I now tried to export zotero references with attachment from database in default location (firefox profile) and importing in database on other computer also in default location.. to no avail.. references are imported, but not their attachments...:-(
