Saved advanced search does not respond

mrsieber
Hey,

I have a saved search that remains with a white screen and the message “Loading items” freezing. Unfortunately, I can't use the context menu by right-clicking.

I am using the latest version 6.0.18 on iOS (with two installations on my iMac and MacBook).

I have read the discussions here about similar issues but did not manage to replicate one of the solutions.

Just submitted a report with the ID 1722907348.

Kind regards,

Marcel

    Can you provide a Debug ID for selecting the search (assuming it doesn't freeze the whole app)?

    Here is the Debug ID: D1890054382

    Just sent the log output.
  • dstillman
    How long have you waited?

    Does this still happen if you disable third-party plugins?
  • mrsieber
    Before sending the log? Not long. However, other times I kept it running for several hours without any response.

    I disabled all Add-ons and re-started Zotero; it crashed.

    Then, I deleted the line with the lastViewedFolder in prefs.js (as I read it in another discussion), and started Zotero again; sync was ok, and all Add-ons were disabled.

    Chose the saved search tab again, but nothing happens... Waited another five minutes before posting this comment.

    OK, well, I'm not totally sure why this is happening, but you can delete the search without selecting it by going to Tools → Developer → Run JavaScript, substituting the name of the search in this code, and running it:

    var name = "NAME_GOES_HERE";
    var search = (await Zotero.Searches.getAll(1)).filter(x => x.name == name)[0];
    await search.eraseTx();

    Great, that worked! Thank you very much!
