Error in syncing - again the nor well-formed one

akatsuki
Hi, I installed yesterday the 1.5b version of zotero and tried to sync (put my username and password in preferences) but the "Uploaded data not well-formed" error showed up. I then tried to run with the debug mode, seeing in the console what was the problem, and some characters in two items I have stored appeared with a "?" (they were greek characters), both in the title and inside the pdf.

I then installed the latest trunk version from the xpi you provide, but the error is still the same: "Uploaded data not well-formed (Report ID: ece1fb5d50)". I read those weird characters were replaced with a dotted box in the new versions, but apparently this is not the case.

I am running zotero in firefox 3.0.3 in Fedora 8. Please if anyone could give a hint on what I can do... I don't have more ideas and would save a lot of time if I could sync my libraries. Thanx!

    There's a current bug when invalid characters appear in filenames. This will be fixed in Beta 3. In the meantime, if you send an e-mail to support@zot....org, referencing this thread, we can tell you the problematic filename from the error report.

    Hi again Dan,

    I just installed version 2, hoping that it would solve my syncing problem. Moreover, that's what Zotero was telling me to do when the error showed up.

    Unfortunately, I still have the very same problem: "Uploaded data not well-formed (Report ID: affb264f67)"

    Does anyone have an idea on how I could solve this? I really would speed up my work if i could sync my laptop with my computer at my workplace.

    Thank you a lot...
