Upgrade Storageconflict copy of sqlite
just started using zotero today. I have it installed on 2 macs (both running 10.5.7). I have and have my zotero folder in my dropbox folder on each machine. I have changed the storage location on both machine to reflect this. I did this on each individual machine while firefox was closed on the other. I have automatic syncing turned off on both machines.
I have added some references to machine A and allowed them to sync to dropbox then closed firefox and opened firefox on the machine B. It took a while, but the references eventually showed up on machine B. While waiting for the references to appear (because my previous experience with dropbox was that it syncs very quickly) i checked my zotero folder in dopbox and I noticed this in the folder:
zotero (iMac's conflicted copy 2009-05-29) (iMac's conflicted copy 2009-05-29).sqlite-journal
Im not sure if this means that I have done something incorrect and that I need to fix something before really proceeding to fill my reference base? Any ideas/help is appreciated.

If you have firefox open on both machines at once (or even if your third-party sync tool isn't able to complete before you start firefox), you WILL have conflicts with the database & there may be no good way to resolve them.
