Upgrade StorageMissing folder
Hi,
One of my folders has disappeared, it contains a huge tree of folders (hundreds of subfolders and files stored in it, representing dozens of hours of work so I am really worried about this disappearance). I'm absolutely sure I didn't delete it, but it may have been moved to another folder (I can't search for it manually, I have thousands of folders), so is there any way to search for it automatically ? The search tool only allows to find articles, I did not succeed this way. But I know the names of some of the aryticles in my lost folder, is there a way to find all the folder locations of a given article to indicate where my lost folder is ? Sometimes when I click on an article, it automatically opens all the folders in which the article in question is stored, but I don't know how to deliberately do this (I tried all the "location" options with the little green arrow and nothing reproduced this phenomenon).
If the folder has been deleted, is there any way to recover it ? I do have some backups, but the last one was a month and a half ago and I have added a lot of folders/items in that time and I don't want to lose them. Is there any way to import the missing folder from a backup ?
Thanks in advance,
Antoine Ameloot

About a dozen collections have been deleted in your library in the last 30 minutes or so, but certainly not hundreds, and not all at once, so you likely just moved it accidentally.
If you tell us the name (or email the name to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread) we can also just check for you.
If you did delete it (which, again, you don't appear to have done), you could restore it from your last automatic backup. An upcoming version of Zotero will make it possible to restore deleted collections from the trash.
Best,
Antoine
