2102525452 problems with importing library from Mendeley.

I tried to import my library from mendeley and got the following error:

version => 5.0.49, platform => Win32, oscpu => Windows NT 6.3; WOW64, locale => en-US, appName => Zotero, appVersion => 5.0.49, extensions => Zotero LibreOffice Integration (5.0.14.SA.5.0.49, extension), Zotero Word for Windows Integration (5.0.8.SA.5.0.49, extension), Shockwave Flash (30.0.0.113, plugin)

Has this anything to do with the fact that my library is quite large? (11000 documents). How can I solve this?
  • Likely due to size -- what are the specs of the computer you're running this on (RAM, in particular)?
  • And when exactly are you getting that? During the import process or after?
  • I got that during the import process... I could import 6300 items but then it crashed...

    I have 64GB of RAM.
  • OK, sorry about that. Try the latest Zotero beta, which should use much less memory during the import process. (You can switch back to the official version after the import is done.)
  • I have a potentially different memory related error? But maybe not. (on ubuntu)
    Zotero ends up using 32 GB of my disk space and then crashes because its out of memory. I look at some of the large folders it was using and it had duplicated the mendeley files many times.
  • Ah, nvm. I think its a RAM issue as well.
  • This should be fixed in Zotero 5.0.50, available now.
