no "Locate" button

When the attached file is missing, Zotero pops up a dialog, where there are only two options: `More information`, `Ok`. There is no "Locate" button.

Any ideas?

    Most likely the attachment doesn't actually have a path set.

    If you select the attachment, go to Tools → Developer → Run JavaScript, and run ZoteroPane.getSelectedItems()[0].getFilePath(), what's the result?

    You are correct. The solution is to set up the base directory: preferences->advanced->files and folders->base directory.

    I might also have experienced this issue. This seems to happen if you move your Zotero data to another setup where the base directory setting is missing or misconfigured. Currently, a prompt to ask for the correct base directory seems to be missing.
