Sync Problem with malformed UTF-8 code

tgliou
Hi,

I'm not sure how to approach this problem. I get the error code on sync of, "malformed UTF-8 character sequence at offset 65," when I do a sync of my library. I think there is probably a malformed character within one of my recent additions to the library, however, I need a little help on how to locate it. I have tried just looking at entries since I remember the problem not being there (a few days ago), but don't see the problem or see it but don't recognize that it is a problem.

The problem generated the following Report ID.

Report ID: 342692585

Thanks in advance!

    That's actually referring to a filename, but it shouldn't happen. Can you provide a Debug ID (different from a Report ID) for a sync that produces this?

    Nice clear instructions:

    I regenerated the error message without any problem.

    Hi! It hasn't bothered me to have this error, but any chance someone could look at this again?

    The error code now is:

    Report ID: 373368575

    Thanks!

    If you cd to the storage/A9JTPD3U within your Zotero data directory in a terminal and type ls | od -tx1, what's the result?
