New articles show up as "0" and fail to retrieve metadata
Report ID: 298795285
When I drag an article pdf from a finder window (I am on Mac, OS Big Sur 11.4) to Zotero, it assigns the pdf the name of "0" and then adds a parent folder also called "0", and fails to do any normal metadata retrieval. This has only started to happen with the new (and otherwise great) version of Zotero (6.0.1)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Zotero.
2. Drag pdf into Zotero library

If you're using the scite plugin for Zotero, it's due to a bug from that which manifested in Zotero 6 during the upgrade (I think).
If you upgrade our plugin to 1.11.5 (released an hour ago), it should work again, assuming your database hasn't been corrupted (in which case you would need to restore a backup / wait for a member of the Zotero team to give you steps to proceed in case it helps them triage).
