Bug - Zotero Connector can't handle filenames with special/escaped characters

nikitasor
Hello everybody,

I am unable to save this file to my library via the zotero connector, I think the issue is the strange file name: http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/econ/Becker,%20Irrational%20Behavior.pdf
It's not a huge deal, but maybe this information is relevant to the devs. Report ID: 1807365352

Thanks for the great software
Nikita

PS: I hope this is the right place for such a report. I was unable to find a proper bug tracker.

    Saves for me, it just doesn't retrieve metadata successfully. What exactly happens when you try?

    I checked again to make sure it wasn't a mistake on my part and now the behavior changed:

    In Chromium I get I get "An error occurred while saving this item. Try again, and if the issue persists see Getting Help for more information." when I wrote my bug report nothing else happend, but now I still get the error message but the file saves to Zotero and gives the failed ocr message.
    Maybe it was a connection issue on my part?

    While my suggestion might only solve the problem of citing this particular item (and not the overall Zotero issue), consider using the JStor url instead of linking to the university based copy of the journal article.
