Group library is syncing despite being de-selected in prefs

bjohas
Hello all,

Question 1:

I've got a group library while is de-selected for sync in the prefs. However, the library is sync'ing anyway. Why is this? I've restarted Zotero, etc.

Question 2:

Once I turn off sync for a group library, how do I remove it from the Zotero desktop client?

Many thanks!

    How are you syncing? If you right-click on the group and click Sync, it will sync, regardless of the prefs. It shouldn't sync via auto-sync or the main sync button in the toolbar. If you think that's happening, I'd want to see a Debug ID that shows a sync where that's happening.

    You can't, currently.

    It was definitely continuing to sync after I had pressed 'stop' and restarted. But maybe I didn't do a full restart (on linux it seems that Zotero sometimes doesn't fully quit when you quit the UI). Now that I've restarted, the library doesn't sync any more.

    Thanks - as always!

    Hi @danstillman - actually, it does seem that the collection did sync after all.

    What debug log would you like me to send? When I notice the sync, I'll just turn on debug, and send that?
  • dstillman
    It would need to be a debug log that actually shows the group syncing.

    This shows the group synching, though I didn't catch it from the start... Does that help, or do you need it from the start of the sync?

    The sync started on 'it's own accord'.

    Thanks!

    Yes, it's the beginning that we need.
