Missing items in recursive export

rgaster5
I used the recursive flag to show all subcollection items in my top level collection; i have numerous subcollections. On screen, there are maybe 900-1000 items showing in the top level. when I export I get about 300. and when I check, some items that are located in subcollections are not exported (I search and cannot find them, even though they are visible in the top collection onscreen).

    This is from vague memory, but IIRC the translators that have "getCollections" on do recursive exports. Try BibTeX or RIS to see if you get all your items.

    Thanks emiliano.

    Seems like BibTex does generate output with all items - but it's in a format that is not very user friendly. I was hoping for CSV or at least something that is relatively easy to parse in word or excel...

    Bibtex is very friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are :) You might be able to get that with just adding getcollections to the csv translator header. Have not tested.

    You can just do select all (ctrl+a) --> right-click --> Export selected items in the middle panel instead of exporting the collection.
