Collections pane jumping after recent updates
I have a large list of subfolders in my collections pane and often want to add a reference to multiple subfolders. After the recent updates, the collections pane now jumps up to the parent folder where I have placed the reference after I click and drag it into a subfolder. This is annoying because as I'm scrolling through my list and adding the reference to multiple subfolders, I often must scroll back down each time to find the right subfolder, rather than working through the list. I don't remember having this issue before the recent updates!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Hopefully someone else with this issue can get a screen capture to back up the issue status.
- Zotero does have a good feed system but I found more functionality in Feedbro Firefox Extension feeds display options for super-fast review of feeds and feed general management as well as tools for interaction with Firefox news article displays with Firefox extensions for speeding the analysis and sorting of them like;
-- Absolute Enable Right Click & Copy
-- Autoplay no more
-- Bypass Paywalls
-- Copy Plain Text
-- Enhancer for Youtube
-- Foxytab
-- Various security extensions
-- pdf mage to overcome article saves where otherwise need to screenshot and copy images but Zotero will not sync them to online WebDav but will do so for pdfs)
-- Simple Tab Groups
-- Tranquilty Reader for cutting web page down to a core info display
-- Transcript Downloader for Youtube transcripts
- Also did not want to overload my extensive Zotero Collections Display with about 100 feed displays. I have a primary collection that is stored locally and then Group Collections for each life interest realm. They all store locally but sync with my Cloud WebDav for Group sharing according to friends life-realm interests. I have about 75GB in Zotero.
In any case the articles I save to Zotero from Firefox are saved there first in one collection before dragging the item to related Collections or sub-Collections so the Collection menu table jumping would seem an independent issue but probably aggravated by size of my Collections.
I used the stop icon to left the sync twirling icon to stop it but it starts again on its own. So went to Zotero preferences and turned off "Sync Automatically". Will see if that helps over next few days.
Downside is you must remember to click the top right sync icon to keep syncing up to date. Zotero has a reminder if you are not syncing for a while that displays forcefully in red at the top of the standalone software so you will not forget to Sync. I appreciated that warning as I was forgetting to sync.
I assume but can not test that this issue applies to all cloud storage services or just mine via pCloud. I suspect it would be for any cloud storage syncing.
A Benefit of manual sync is you are more aware to check sync is not throwing up error messages such as because you add images to your notes which I found break the sync and confirmed somewhere in the Zotero guides or forum.
Here is a screenshot of how it sometimes jumps to the target, and sometimes it does not. The first and seventh moves result in the jump:
