Can't import ZoteroRDF w/files
Error ID: 1411035583
I'm trying to share one of my collections with another Zotero user in my organization, yet the import function has ceased to work. It continually comes up with an error message that says "An error occurred while trying to import the selected file. Please ensure that the file is valid and try again." I have also noted that the export time is suspiciously slow; it finishes "exporting" in about 10 seconds for a collection of around 50. I believe my problems started after installing the most recent update, as I have successfully imported collections many times before.
To reproduce the problem, select a collection, right click it, select export collection. Then select the gear and attempt to import. I'm on OS X 10.5.7 and I'm using Zotero 2.0b6.3.

There's completely new RDF code in 2.0b6, so there may be a few bugs.
I would be happy to also email my RDF file if that would help.
I tried updating my zotero build but it looks like I am running the latest build available on the site (2.0b6.3). This version - 2.0b6.3 - still does not import my rdf file.
Where can I find the latest dev or nightly builds?
Thanks so much. Imported perfectly...can't tell you how much I appreciate zotero.

I think that RDF export should work fine whether the collections are for groups or local. Am I wrong?
Importing the RDF without attached files I got report number ID 1185481905, trying to import those RDF with attached files it wasn't possible to send any error-report at all.
Is threre any solution to this problem?
Thanx a lot!
bilal: Do you get an XML parse error if you drag the RDF file into Firefox (not Zotero)?
annecke12: Go to the Advanced pane of the Zotero preferences, enable debug logging, attempt the import without files, submit the debug output, and post the Report ID here. Thanks.
I tried to important an RDF, activating "debug logging" and sent the report to zotero. Report ID was D1882248213.
Sorry that I can't be specific about translators. Some came from ProCite by way of EndNote.
I tried to import my RDF file after install Windows 7 and happened the same problem that happened with annecke12. (The same message - An error occurred while trying to import the selected file. Please ensure that the file is valid and try again - using Firefox 3.5.3 and Zotero 2.0b6.5).
Could you help me too? Following your instructions, the Report ID is D1759256442.
Thank you very much!
