Solving a Sync Problem
In order to solve a sync problem (ID: 502320031), is it safe to make copy past of the storage in the computer where Zotero is in good order to the computer in which zotero needs to be updated? Thanks for your help.
(We'll also put in a proper fix for this, but that will take a bit longer.)
[JavaScript Error: "can't assign to properties of (new String("Cannot move collection \"a_BOOKS TO READ/CHECK-OUT/BUY\" into one of its own descendents")): not an object" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/sync/syncRunner.js" line: 998}]
[JavaScript Error: "Cannot move collection "a_BOOKS TO READ/CHECK-OUT/BUY" into one of its own descendents"]
I then proceeded to change in my secondary computer the name of the Collection I assumed was causing the problem. Once I did that I deleted in the primary computer the same Collection in the hope that it would then synchronize. But it does not.
I am seriously concerned now. And I have two questions:
1. Is there any chance of remotly solving this problem?
2. If I keep manually pressing the button for synchronization is it possible that the problem gets solved? Any time I press that button, the green icon turns a few times and then stops...
Please, help again. Thank you!
But you can just create a new collection, drag the items from "a_BOOKS TO READ/CHECK-OUT/BUY" into it, and then make sure the old collection is deleted on both computers.
